It might have been bone-chilling cold, but the MSU Bulldogs made it worth it to fans as they held off the Arkansas Razorbacks - 31-28. The Bulldogs improve their record to 4-7, 2-5 SEC. The win is a much needed highlight to what has become an abysmal football season.
MSU will close out their football season this Friday as they take on Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. Kick-off is 11:30am and will be televised by Raycom Sports.
Tomorrow is the Great American Smoke Out. There is a free event on the MSU campus at Colvard Student Union Room 231.
There will be a display for people to learn how to quit smoking and to trade in their tobacco for prizes.
The Great American Smoke Out is a day set aside each year for those who smoke to give up tobacco for one day.
Unrelated to smoking, but there is a free event today at the Barnes and Noble bookstore where free makeup and samples will be given out. They will be given out by a Celebrity Make-Up Artist 11am-4pm today and Thursday.
MSU Alumnus Dr. Mark Keenum has been chosen at the next president of Mississippi State University by a unanimous decision by the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning.
Keenum’s term will begin sometime in January 2009. Keenum received his Bachelor’s and Masters in Agricultural Economics at MSU. He joined the MSU faculty in 1984 as as a Marketing Specialist with the Mississippi Cooperative Extension Service. From 1997 - 2006, Dr. Keenum also served as an Agricultural Economics Adjunct Professor and taught an annual course on agricultural legislative policy.
Dr. Keenum will be leaving his current position as Under Secretary of Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services - a position he has held since December 2006.
Really? Is anyone surprised? That’s what I thought but we had to play them since they were on the schedule and an SEC rival. But with their undefeated record, it was quite doubtful that the Bulldogs could pull off the upset of the year.
Alabama defeated MSU by a score of 32-7. MSU’s overall record is now 3-7, in the SEC 1-5. Up next for the Bulldogs is another tough SEC rival, the Arkansas Razorbacks. At least MSU will have home field advantage in that clash.
The following week MSU will close out the season by playing Ole Miss in the annual Egg Bowl. The Egg Bowl will be televised on Raycom. Coverage begins at 11:30am. The game will be played in Oxford, Mississippi.
