Good morning! Planning on attending the season’s first Cowbell Yell? Here’s everything you need to know for the big night.
What else did we throw into today’s Bulldog Brew?
🏈 Get ready for game day
⚽️ Recap of Bulldog soccer
🐶 And much, much more!
🎙️ DEAR OL’ STATE
Dear Ol’ State: Dawg Vets Ready To Roll. One day closer to Saturday's season opener, Joel Coleman and Logan Lowery have chats with a couple of Bulldog football veterans. Linebacker John Lewis and offensive lineman Albert Reese IV join the show to share their thoughts with kickoff coming soon.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Game Day Is Here. Saturdays in StarkVegas are back! The Bulldogs will take on Eastern Kentucky at 5 p.m. inside Davis Wade Stadium to kick off the 2024 season. Head coach Jeff Lebby will take the sidelines for his first game repping the Bulldogs while transfer student-athletes such as quarterback Blake Shapen will also be in the Maroon and White for the first time. State will take on the Colonels for the first time in program history as the team looks to start 1-0 on the season.
🔼 Another Won. Bulldog soccer improved its record to 4-1 thanks to a 1-0 win on Senior Night against Tennessee Tech. The match’s lone goal came from an outside-the-box strike in the 62nd minute from senior Aitana Martinez-Montoya. State’s defense shut down the attack, allowing just two shots through 90 minutes of play. Next up, the Bulldogs will prepare for a matchup against South Alabama on Sunday at 1 p.m.
🔼 Game On. Bulldog volleyball is set to hit the road to Birmingham, Alabama this weekend to open the team's 50th season. State will face Samford on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the Pete Hanna Center and UAB on Saturday at 5 p.m. in the Bartow Arena. Over 21 games in history, State holds 20 wins over Samford as they look to add another win to the record book while the Bulldogs look to extend a three-match win streak against the Blazers.
🔼 Now Driving. Coming off one of the best seasons in program history, Bulldog women's golf is set to begin its 2024-25 campaign at the Carmel Cup today. Starting the season at Pebble Beach for the third-straight year, State returns every golfer from last season’s SEC Championship squad including the back-to-back SEC individual champion, Julia Lopez Ramirez. The team will start teeing off this morning at 8:40 a.m.
