Egg Bowl 2023 Preview with Hugh & Blake

SUMMARY: Hugh Keaton and Blake Brandon discuss the upcoming Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night, where Ole Miss Rebels face Mississippi State Bulldogs. Ole Miss, favored by about 10 points, eyes a 10-win season for the second time in three years. It’s a significant game for Ole Miss to finish a solid season and retain bragging rights. Success is credited to the impact of coach Lane Kiffin’s program building. The game also has implications for a potential New Year’s Six bowl berth for Ole Miss.
Mississippi State, with a 5-win season and interim coach Greg Knox, must win to extend their bowl streak despite coaching changes and player motivations. Ole Miss’s potential relies on their potent offense and a defense that’s mostly solid outside of major games like Georgia and LSU. The game may be last on Thanksgiving due to future SEC TV contract changes. This matchup is especially charged due to the fierce in-state rivalry, with Ole Miss treating it like a home game and players on both sides familiar with the rivalry’s importance.

Hugh Keeton and Blake Brannon join to give a preview ahead of Ole Miss and Mississippi State’s Thanksgiving matchup.

Expert Talk – Senior Medicare Patrol (Telehealth Fraud)

SUMMARY: In this episode of WXXV’s Expert Talk, host Michelle Eubank welcomes Danielle Gillery from Senior Medicare Patrol to discuss telehealth, which gained prominence during the COVID pandemic. Telehealth allows patients to consult with doctors via video calls rather than in person. However, telehealth fraud occurs when individuals are billed for services from providers they’ve never interacted with, such as cases where nurses, rather than doctors, diagnose readings. Gillery advises viewers who suspect fraud to contact Medicare or the Senior Medicare Patrol for assistance. The organization provides resources to help resolve billing issues and combat scams.
