Last season was a stunning one for Mississippi State. They went to No.1 in the polls. They beat LSU on the road for the first time in their history. They had their second 10-win season in their history. Their QB, Dak Prescott, was a Heisman contender. OK, so underestimating the Bulldogs was our mistake, Starkville. OFF-SEASON Dak Prescott had an awful Spring Break when he was blindsided by some douchebag in Panama Beach. He didn't press assault charges, which is a shame. He should have done. Coaching-wise, Dan Mullen lost defensive co-ordinator Geoff Collins to Florida, and replied by Read more [...]

Everyone seems to be pretty confident in Starkville right now. It must happen when your team expands its stadium, wins their bowl game by 37 (losing me money in the process) and beats Ole Miss in The Egg Bowl. Anyway, Dan Mullen's chest was very puffed when he walked into SEC Media Days. We're glad he didn't come in wearing a visor. Only Steve Spurrier looks cool in one of those. LAST SEASON Is the fact that people are referring to Mississippi State as some sort of SEC dark horse because the Bulldogs beat their biggest rival? Or because they finish the season on a three-game winning streak? Read more [...]

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, What in the **** happened, Alabama? Tuscaloosa was full of sad faces as Texas A&M knocked off Alabama in the Game Of The Season (sorry, LSU game from last week!). But there were happy faces in Ole Miss (from Vandy fans, because their victory in Oxford ensured that they were bowl eligible for the second straight time - the first time this has happened in program history), Auburn (because Alabama lost, and from visiting Georgia fans because they won handily at Jordan-Hare), and other places in the SEC (because Alabama lost). The only people super-furious, we Read more [...]

Dan Mullen, Mississippi State's head coach, has said that keeping college football's tradition is incredibly important in the face of the new play-off system coming in 2014. He said: "The one thing I don't want to see us lose is the tradition that is college football.  The great thing about the bowl system, we like talking different ways.  We want to talk education.  These guys are student-athletes.  This is not a professional sport.  They're there to get an education.  But on the top end, there can only be one champion, we have to have this big extended playoff.  Where at the Read more [...]

There was good news for the Mississippi State Bulldogs this week when the NCAA allowed tight end Marcus Green a sixth year of eligibility. This mean that Green will play for the Bulldogs in 2012 - after hip and knee injuries in 2008 and 2010 respectively wrecked two of his seasons. Marcus Green told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal:  "It's beautiful... It's an honor...It really shows you how it's a privilege and an honor to be part of something special. When you get out in the real world, it ain't nothing like it. To come back and get another shot at winning another ring, and another Read more [...]

Wide receiver Scott Austin has committed to Mississippi State, it has been widely reported. The 6 ft 4, 180 lbs receiver out of Biloxi was ranked as the 14th best player in the State by Rivals.

"MSU has five receivers leaving and this is a good opportunity to probably start as a true freshman." He is the third player in the Dan Mullen's 2013 receiving corps to be over 6 ft 3, the Clarion Ledger noted. Southern Miss had also recruited Austin.   Read more [...]
