Only been called the Mississippi delta for a couple hundred years but ok.

You’ll learn more of the Delta’s rich history at Greenwood's Museum of the Mississippi Delta and Tunica's RiverPark

I don't know why you are arguing with him. Obviously, someone from Texas with no real connection to the area would Know more about our homeland than we do.

One of the many gifts of the Tubby era. One of his greatest I'd say, besides gifting bowl victories to all who would apply.

I hope folks that braved the weather get home safely.

The Levee system is actually good here. It took years of us begging and floods for us to get it finally built up it.

Floods shouldn't happen. We have the technology. We just have an incompetent federal government rather spend billions else where.

He was born that way. Pretty awesome I think being born with a defect like that to your arm and have the drive and desire to build your legs to the point that you get to play FBS college football. Kudos to him.

The Arkansas delta is part of this area too, but what I found out is that this whole area is referred to in geology terms as an alluvial plain and the very rich sediments were first laid down here by the melting of the last ice sheet and then spread around by the Mississippi River to make this flat delta area
So I learned something new about how the word delta is used, however when I think of a delta Iam thinking of a " mouth delta", so thats the way the cookie crumbles...

Cool. Interesting

Ooh, ooh! I floated down a river before!

Translation: You were wrong, but insisted you were right initially, even though people who know better, and live there, pointed it out to you. And even now, you are making excuses.

Good grief, man.....Is it really SO painful to just say "I was wrong and didn't know what I was talking about" that you just can't do it? I wouldn't say anything if you weren't so disagreeable with folks who did know what they were talking about because they KNOW the area.
