🔼 First Day of Work. Turns out Jordan Westburg makes as much of an impact in the MLB as he did with the Bulldogs! Making his MLB debut on Monday night, Westburg racked up his:

• First major league hit

• First major league RBI

• First MLB win

His only words for the broadcast after the game: “surreal”. The big leagues will do that to you, and watching Westburg should become a common occurrence for Diamond Dawgs fans.

🔼 All Smiles. It’s every football player’s dream to make it to the NFL, but for many, remembering those that helped paved the way to help you get there is just as sweet. Such is the case for the Bulldogs’ own Cameron Young.

The defensive lineman surprised his mom with a new house just for her after all she had sacrificed to make his dream come true. Read more about the moment Young’s mother found out the house was hers and the plan to surprise her with it here.

🔼 Upgrades! The MSU students just got a seat upgrade, ones that are way better than any airline can offer. Each student will now have a chance to sit court side this upcoming season for all men’s and women’s basketball games at The Hump. If you thought it was loud before, wait until the students get a front row seat to the action.
