Mississippi State

The 32nd head coach for the Mississippi State Bulldogs will be introduced today. The initial event will be held at 10 a.m. in the Templeton Athletic Academic Center on campus.

Reports are that Dan Mullen, the offensive coordinator at Florida, will be the new top dawg. The 36-year-old Mullen will be leaving one of the top SEC football programs for one of the worse. He definitely has his work cut out for him.

Sylvester Croom resigned as head coach November 29th after a humiliating lost of SEC and in state rival Ole Miss.

It’s final exams (or affectionately known as Hell week) week at MSU. The last exams will be December 10th. Then students can start Christmas break before coming back for Spring classes that begin January 3rd.

Students will be able to sell their books back at the Barnes and Noble bookstore now through December 10th. Fall commencements will be held December 12th at 7pm at Humphrey Coliseum and December 13th at 10am.

Mississippi State head football coach Sylvester Croom resigned Saturday morning after the Bulldogs lost to the Ole Miss Rebels in what was the worst lost scoring wise since 1971. The Bulldogs lost 0-45.

Croom came to Mississippi State five years ago and inherited a team that was on NCAA probation and a three year losing record. After three losing seasons, Croom led the Bulldogs to a winning season and a victory in the Autozone Liberty Bowl. This year the Bulldogs finished 4-8.

MSU athletic director Greg Byrne spoke to the media Saturday about Croom’s resignation.

Croom’s overall record at MSU was 21-38.
