🎥 HAIL STATE PLUS

In this episode of My Time, hear from men’s tennis standout Gregor Ramskogler and how State has become his home away from home during his time in Starkville. The native Austrian talks us through his time in the classroom, experience gained though internships in MSU’s athletic department, and earning a master’s degree in sports management.

With HailState+ you get to watch wherever you want to watch. Web, mobile, and (later this year) all major OTT streaming apps like AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, Roku, and Android. We got it all.

🔼 Striving For Success. Last week, men’s basketball head coach Chris Jans promoted James Miller to the associate head coach at MSU.

The duo, who have a near decade long road together, have now reached four NCAA Tournaments between New Mexico State and Mississippi State. They’re on a mission to get the most out of their guys this coming season to continue to improve on last season’s success. “We want to capitalize on the momentum we built last year,” said Coach Miller. “I think we can make another step forward. We have a core group of returning guys, and we’ve added in some talented young men.”

Read more about the duo’s relationship.

🔼 Making History. State soccer put in some work in the classroom this year as they finished with their highest Spring GPA in program history. The team came away with an average GPA at 3.58 with 11 members achieving a perfect 4.0. Repping the program both on and off the pitch is just what this squad does.
