MISSISSIPPI STATE RUMORS
Four-star 2008 signee-turned-MLBer returns to Bulldogs
Apparently you can, in a sports sense, come home again.
In 2008, Rashun Dixon was a four-star member of Mississippi State’s recruiting class, the last of Sylvester Croom‘s tenure. Dixon never suited up for the Bulldogs, however, as he was drafted in the 10th round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Oakland Athletics and embarked on a career in professional baseball....

2014 SEC Preview: Is now the time to take Mississippi State seriously?
Everyone seems to be pretty confident in Starkville right now. It must happen when your team expands its stadium, wins their bowl game by 37 (losing me money in the process) and beats Ole Miss in The Egg Bowl. Anyway, Dan Mullen's chest was very puffed when he walked into SEC Media Days. We're glad he didn't come in wearing a visor. Only Steve Spurrier looks cool in one...

Adding Some Zest To The Dak Prescott Heisman Campaign
Unless your Internet has been turned off for the past few months (and what kind of psycho are you if it was), you’ve no doubt experienced a splash of “Dak Prescott for Heisman” talk. Prescott, the Mississippi State quarterback, finished his sophomore season on a high note, leading the Bulldogs to wins over Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl and Rice in the Liberty Bowl.

SEC Countdown: No. 9 Mississippi State
When Dan Mullen arrived as head coach in 2009, he brought an era of prosperity with him to Mississippi State football.

MSU’s Dan Mullen at SEC Media Days
Clanga! Clanga! Clanga! Mississippi State Coach Dan Mullen spoke at SEC Media Days on Tuesday. Here are some major points gleaned from his press conference: On MSU QB Dak Prescott: “Dak is a guy that because of his skill set, he can beat you with his arm, with his legs, he can run between the tackles and he can run in the open field.

Athletic directors from K-State and Mississippi State schedule football game on Twitter
There is snark tweets, funny tweets, troll tweets and, yes, even LeBron James back-to-Cleveland tweets. But what about using 140 characters (or less) to set dates for future college football games?
It happened.
What started as some good-natured fun between athletic directors ended up in an agreement to meet on the gridiron.

Photo: Mississippi State Football Is Calling Its Campus “Stark Vegas”
Mississippi State University is located in Starkville, Miss., a small southern town with a population just shy of 24,000. If you could look up The Opposite of Las Vegas in a dictionary, a place like Starkville would likely appear.
