When John Cohen was at Mississippi State University, he had the opportunity to see Eudora Welty at a campus venue, but he missed it.
Cohen, now baseball coach at MSU, said he regrets the decision. At the time, he said, he didn’t think going to see an author, even a Pulitzer Prize winner like Welty, was “cool.”

The Starkville Historic Preservation made minor adjustments Tuesday to a new draft of historic preservation guidelines and called for a special meeting Aug. 13 to compete the guideline evaluation process before the grant paying for the guidelines’ creation expires.
Each summer the Mississippi State Bulldogs take their skills across the country to play summer baseball in a variety of leagues.
The goal is to hone their craft and return to Starkville a more complete player.
This summer Hunter Renfroe has certainly made the most of his opportunity by turning in a history-making performance.
Mississippi State now has 13 commitments for the 2013 signing class with the most recent commitment of defensive end Trent Simpson of Oxford, Ala.
Simpson, who made his commitment public on Friday, actually pledged to be a Bulldog last week.Â
