Unless Congress reverses course, Mississippians will pay much more for ACA marketplace insurance in 2026.
Mississippians have benefitted more from the enhanced subsidies provided for the federal Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance policies than the people of almost any other state.

For much of Thursday night’s Sugar Bowl showdown with Georgia, it looked as if Ole Miss’ dream football season was careening toward a rude wake-up call.
Luckily for Rebel fans, Trinidad Chambliss found the snooze button.
The Ole Miss quarterback put together a performance for the ages, passing for 362 yards and two touchdowns to rally his team to a stunning 39-34 win over the SEC Champion Bulldogs.

The transfer portal is officially open and will continue through Jan. 16. This is the first year of the single, condensed 15-day period, with no separate spring window, aiming for more order in college football.
While that may seem far-fetched — because college football is as crazy as ever — Southern Miss is going to be very active in this portal window, giving fans an early glimpse of Blake Anderson’s first team.

Elijah Jones is a proud Hattiesburg native who enjoys writing. Email him at edjhubtown@aol.com.
I'm not a big fan of fast food. Well, not since the days back in the 1970s when I topped out at nearly 500 pounds anyway. During my college days at the University of Southern Mississippi, I hadn't quite reached my peak weight; I still had some growing to do. And, boy, was I ever lucky, attending college on a campus surrounded by burger joints. There was Burgertown, Burger King and, of course, McDonald's, all right there on Hardy Street, within walking distance of campus. And did I ever take advantage of the convenience.

Trinidad Chambliss continues to write one of the most fascinating stories in college football history. If this wasn’t football, you’d call it a fairy tale. All that’s missing are magic beans and silver slippers.
Here Thursday night at the jam-packed Superdome, one of the world’s most famous sports venues, Chambliss willed the Ole Miss Rebels to a scintillating 39-34 Sugar Bowl victory over the proud Georgia Bulldogs. He did it with his strong right arm. He did it with his legs. He did it with courage and with uncommon flair.
