What else did we throw into today’s Bulldog Brew?

🐶 And much, much more!

🎙️ DEAR OL’ STATE

Dear Ol’ State: Game Week Is Here. We all made it! It's game week, and Mississippi State's 2024 football season has arrived. Joel Coleman and Logan Lowery start getting you ready for Saturday's action and bring you head coach Jeff Lebby's full Monday press conference.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Top Of The Mountain. Heading into the fall season for Bulldog men’s tennis, the dynamic duo of Benito Sanchez-Martinez and Petar Jovanovic came in at the top spot of the ITA DI Men’s Preseason National Doubles Rankings. It’s the fourth time in program history that State has a doubles team at No. 1 in the rankings. The Bulldogs will begin their season later this fall at the SEC Bama Invite on September 13.

🔼 Almost Showtime. Head coach Jeff Lebby has gone from an Oklahoma offensive lineman whose playing career was cut short due to injury, to one of the brightest offensive minds in all of college football. Now, it's Mississippi State's turn to be the beneficiary, and it's also finally Lebby's time to be a head coach. In more ways than one, it's indeed almost showtime in Stark Vegas.

🗣️ "Hopefully it's a long time from now that there's somebody else that will lead this program, and what I want to do is make sure I leave it better than I found it. Fighting every single day to get that done and get that accomplished is my goal for our fanbase and our university and everybody I go to work with every single day.” - Jeff Lebby

🔼 New Dawg On Campus. As one of six members to join the Bulldog men’s basketball team from the transfer portal in the offseason, Claudill Harris Jr. is ready to ball out for State after spending time with both Charleston Southern and Boston College. Get to know Harris Jr. a bit better with some highlights of his from seasons past.
