Austin Hall with a great diving interception early in 4th quarter. TIGER ball, up 37-14.

There's only one Mississippi delta and its in the gulf

ULM scores on 4th & 15. Wonderful. 37-21 with 5:35 left in game.

Wrong


"Untutored Yanks like me are sometimes surprised to learn that the fertile Mississippi River Delta extends all the way up to Memphis, Tennessee"

****** weather. ****** performance. ****** game.

Proud of our Special Teams and Running Game.

37-29. Good grief. 40 seconds to go. Onside kick coming.

Victory formation. No practice was required

Well, at least we recovered the onside kick. Damn, I'll be glad when this game is over. I hate CBS for making us play tonight. We lost 5 guys on D.

37-29. Final.

Ok " Mississippi River delta" is in the gulf "wiki", the delta y'all refer to is a alluvial plain, it is in fact very large, 200 miles by 87 miles, an alluvial plain that ends in an ocean is typically known as a " delta "
Good game by the way...

Look up the location of Delta State University. Lol

Delta Dawn was not from the gulf. Lol


Passing team in a downpour. It counts but ugly

1-0 beats the alternative.

Well Iam not stupid, I know of the reference " delta " y'all are talking about, heard about it all my life it seems but who ever first coined this area as a delta must surely have known that it was not the real Mississippi River delta, might have called it a delta for commercial reasons or was in jest...

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

True, but you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig
Now Iam interested, so I'll go look it up to see how this name came about

You guys just took better notes when watching the other team all those years, let's not get too excited.

Oh I distinctly remember running about 13 minutes off the clock and running it on about the 5 yard line against somebody. Can't exactly remember what team but i can try to if you like

Ok I see why this area is called a delta, the word delta is a old word first used in the 1300s to describe a river that splits into many smaller streams in a flat landscape that creates marshy wet lands at the mouth. The " mouth" is where river flow meets " sea currents ", however " delta is not limited to the " mouth " of a river, it also is used to describe same type of marshy flat lands anywhere
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...
