Saturday, Nov. 20
College football, Alcorn State at Jackson State (1 p.m., 90.1 FM, 95.5 FM): The Braves and Tigers aren't playing for anything except a year's worth of bragging rights. That's plenty. … Ole Miss at LSU (2:30 p.m., Baton Rouge, La., Ch. 12, 97.3 FM): Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the Rebels, it got worse. Fortunately for Ole Miss, LSU's coach is a moron, so the Black Bears have a shot. … Arkansas at Mississippi State (6 p.m., Starkville, ESPN, 105.9 FM): Can the Bulldogs slow down the Hogs and score enough points to win? Uh, maybe.

Sunday, Nov. 21
NFL football, Seattle at New Orleans (3:15 p.m., Ch. 40, 620 AM): The

Monday, Nov. 22

Wednesday, Nov. 24

Also, Houston at Southern Miss (7 p.m., Hattiesburg, CBS College Sports, 105.1). It has been an up and down week in Hattiesburg. There was the high of beating UCF and then the low of 3 players getting shot. Saturday will be interesting. Go Eagles!
