🎙️ DEAR OL’ STATE

Dear Ol’ State: 125 Seasons of Bulldog Football. Saturday began the 125th season of Mississippi State football, and to celebrate the milestone, Joel Coleman and Logan Lowery will spend each Friday this season talking with some of the people who have impacted Bulldog football history. MSU legend and Thorpe Award winner Johnthan Banks hops on the show to talk about his journey and how he became an all-time great in Maroon and White.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Hail To The Victors. The downpour over the Maroon and White faithful at Davis Wade Stadium in the Bulldog’s season opener was no match for the power of the cowbells and the electric offense in a 56-7 victory over Eastern Kentucky on Saturday night. With the victory over EKU, State has its 19th straight victory over an FCS opponent dating back to 2005.

🗣️ "I think there was a whole lot of good. Proud of our guys for their energy and their competitive spirit, the toughness they played with but there are so many things to clean up I think that's the biggest takeaway is that you got a chance to go win the way we won but we are going to need to play better…” - Jeff Lebby

🔼 Late Strike. Bulldog soccer secured a hard-fought 1-nil victory over South Alabama in a thrilling contest on Sunday to improve to 5-1-0 on the season. With the cowbells roaring throughout the match, the Bulldogs delivered a last-minute win, thanks to a clutch goal by Ally Perry in the 89th minute. Mississippi State will look to carry this week's momentum on the road for their next contest when they travel to Ruston for a meeting with Louisiana Tech on Thursday.
