⚾️ A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Dudy Noble Field was buzzing on Thursday night. Electricity was in
the air and thousands of the Mississippi State faithful were in the park.
Given the track record of the man everyone came to see, it's only the first
of many big June moments The Dude will host in the years to come.
Brian O'Connor was introduced as the 19th head coach in Mississippi State baseball history on Thursday. After 22 years as the leader of the Virginia Cavaliers, O'Connor officially traded in his blue and orange for Maroon and White, signaling the uniting of one of the game's premier coaches with one of the sport's most proud programs.
O'Connor, already a hall of fame coach with his 900-plus wins,
seven College World Series trips and national title, let it be known he's more
than ready to embracethe lofty expectations that surround Bulldog baseball.

🔼 Dugout Additions. Coach O’Connor wasn’t the only dugout addition unveiled on Thursday.
Coach announced his full staff with Kevin McMullan (associate head coach), Justin Parker (pitching coach) and Matt Kirby (assistant coach) all being announced.

Sure, there’s plenty of work being done on the field.
But the biggest difference being made by Hail State football is in the community as the Bulldogs spent time connecting the local kids this week during the Bulldog LIteracy Tour.
🔼 Always Open. We have 85 days until Mississippi State football’s season opener at Southern Miss on August 30!
Wide receiver Austin Williams wore the No. 85 for the Bulldogs from 2018-2022, collecting 150 catches during his Bulldog career and 17 touchdowns.
