Good morning, Bulldogs! Track and field’s Tafada Wright is a finalist for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship!

What else do we have brewing today?

🏈 Dawgs vs. Dawgs
🏀 McGhee cherishing the minutes
🐶 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Party In Town. Mississippi State football has an opportunity to earn bowl-eligibility and its biggest win of the season this weekend, welcoming No. 5 Georgia to Davis Wade Stadium tomorrow at 11 a.m. on ESPN!

🔼 Living It Up. Ja'Borri McGhee wasn't used to coming off the bench. The Mississippi State senior guard and transfer from UAB had always been a starter, wherever he's been.

But there McGhee was on Wednesday night in the Bulldogs' season opener, waiting his turn as a reserve. It was fine though.

McGhee – a Mississippi native by way of McComb – had already spent years working for his moment to play college basketball at a big-time school. Another minute or two of waiting wasn't a problem.

🔼 First Of Its Kind. Mississippi State baseball is set to host the inaugural Farm Bureau Diamond Dawg Classic powered by The Bulldog Initiative today at 7 p.m. at The Dude!

A total of 48 former Diamond Dawgs were drafted onto two teams coached by two of the most iconic players to ever wear the M-over-S, Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro. Clark will be the manager for Team Thunder while Rafael Palmeiro will serve in the same capacity for Team Lightning.

🔼 Double Dip. Mississippi State women’s basketball plays a pair of home games this weekend, hosting Georgia State this morning at 11 a.m. before Mississippi Valley State comes to town on Sunday at 2 p.m.

🔼 Away From Home. Mississippi State volleyball plays its final road match of the regular season today, playing at Arkansas at 7 p.m. The Razorbacks are 5-18 overall this season and 1-11 in SEC play.
