🏀 Still Working
🐶 And much, much more!
🎥 HAIL STATE PLUS
Coaches Confidential. Bulldog men’s basketball head coach Chris Jans sits down to talk about State’s recent trip to Portugal and how it benefitted the team in ways both on and off the court.

📈 STOCK UP
🔼 The Time Is Now. For the first time since the Bulldogs arrived back on campus this summer, they are preparing for an opponent other than themselves.
🗣️ “I could definitely tell as a football team last week we were kind of tired of practicing against each other and want to spend some time preparing for a game and playing someone else.” - Head coach Zach Arnett
Coach Arnett has filled the summer with as much preparation as the Bulldog football team could have, and now, it will be displayed in their first game of the season against Southeastern Louisiana. Facing the defending Southland Conference champs, Coach Arnett has emphasized, will be a win the team will have to earn.
🔼 Still Working. Basketball season may be a few months away, but that doesn’t mean that Bulldog women’s basketball isn’t putting in the work now. The team is hard at work in preparing for this upcoming season, one that the team believes will set the tone for the program going forward.
🔼 Dear Ol’ State. Game week is here, and Dear Ol’ State is here to help pass the time while we countdown the days until the Bulldogs kickoff the season against Southeastern Louisiana. Join Joel and Logan as they discuss why they have high hopes for this offense, then listen to interviews with quarterback Will Rogers, running back Woody Marks, and center Cole Smith.
🔼 Moving On Up. One of our former Diamond Dawgs is on the move! Eric Cerantola, the right-handed pitcher, was promoted to the Double-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. The 2018 MLB Draftee is on his way to making it up the baseball ladder.
🤔 BULLDOG TRIVIA
New Home. Bulldog softball head coach Samantha Ricketts has done a great job of bringing in players from outside of Mississippi, and helping them call Starkville their home away from home.
Our question today — can you name the six states that Coach Ricketts recruited players from that became the first Bulldog softball student-athletes from their home state?
Hint: they are all located east of Texas!
