Mississippi State has finished its second spring practice session under second-year head coach Jeff Lebby. The Bulldogs wrapped up spring with the annual maroon and white scrimmage at Davis Wade Stadium. Naturally, State has a lot of new faces as they brought in 32 players from the transfer portal during the winter and spring sessions, with a handful of those guys leaving Starkville already to find a new home. Lebby also brought in a new guy to lead the offensive line, Phil Loadholt, who the former is quite familiar with.Due to the hire's timing, Loadholt could not probe the portal himself at State during the winter cycle. Instead, former Mississippi State offensive line coach Cody Kennedy handled the recruiting for the Bulldogs, and he brought in a trio of guys, two of whom have already entered the portal again. Also, Lebby was quite transparent when speaking to the media about the need to bring in offensive linemen in the spring portal window. It was a little surprising, but from the...

The film is about an English private who is cut off from his unit in the middle of a riot in Belfast in 1971. It's a conventional and smashingly good chase melodrama, but it's also a tragedy.

'71 review: a visceral reminder of dark days

'71 Director: Yann DemangeCert: 15AGenre: DramaStarring: Jack O'Connell, Sean Harris, Sam Reid, Charlie Murphy, Paul Anderson, Killian Scott, David WilmotRunning Time: 1 hr 39 minsThere exists a photograph of your reviewer all purple flares and pudding-bowl hair standing merrily beneath a huge wooden 71 positioned near the Botanic Gardens in south Belfast. For reasons that should be apparent, the optimistic Ulster 71 Expo, conceived to celebrate 50 years of the Northern Irish statelet, failed miserably to define the era.There is certainly no mention of it in Yann Demanges breakneck thriller set two miles west of the giant digits. This is a heightened version of the bloodied-parka Belfast we soaked up throughout decades of miserable news reports.Film-makers have rarely dared to use the Troubles as a backdrop to any sort of mainstream entertainment.
