🔼 ‘98 Mentality. It’s homecoming week at Mississippi State which means for Bulldog football, it’s time to bring back that 1998 SEC West champion mentality. State is bringing back the uniforms from the historic season to commemorate the team and harness some of that energy on the gridiron against Kentucky on Saturday night.

🎥 Relive some of the best moments from the Bulldogs’ 1998 season

🔼 Pure Passion. Taking care of an entire athletics department’s health and nutrition needs can be a daunting task, but MSU’s Assistant Athletic Director of Sports Nutrition, Pamela Bartz, has not only succeeded in her job, but has grown the program with a zeal that many others have taken notice of.

🗣️ “I don’t think you’ll find anyone in any career more passionate about the job they do. It’s amazing the passion she has for the welfare of the student-athletes, not only as competitors, but also keeping them healthy and preparing them for life after graduation, too.” - Mary McLendon, MSU Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine and Performance

📚️ Read the full story about why Pamela Bartz loves her job more than anything and how she approaches each day as its own challenge

🔼 Live from the Court. With basketball hype raising to a fever pitch, it’s time to secure tickets to see the Bulldogs back at The Hump in less than a week. Non-conference game tickets are available for purchase now with tickets starting at just $10. With both teams coming off of 20+ win seasons, why wouldn’t any of Bulldog Nation want to come out and be a part of the ride?

🔼 Night to Remember. The relationship between Mississippi State baseball and The Miracle League has been a strong one for years, and last week, the Diamond Dawgs got to have another special night with the baseball-loving organization. For a couple of State’s players, the event meant a little bit more.

"My brother is special needs, and we actually had a similar thing back home," outfielder Bryce Chance said. "It just meant a lot to see how important it was to him, and coming out here — especially when we get to do it at Dudy Noble — it's really special for all the kids."
