Mississippi State

American Idol fever has made it to Mississippi State. This Monday is MSU Idol. This past week contestants were auditioned for one of the top 10 spots.

The competition begins Monday, January 28th at 8pm. The event will be held at the Colvard Student Union Dawg House. Admission is free.

This weekend the men’s basketball team hosts the Ole Miss Rebels. Saturday January 26, 2008. Game starts at 4pm at Humphrey Coliseum. This should be a good game since MSU will be taking on an in-state rival.

The Lady Bulldogs played the Lady Rebels Thursday night. MSU was victorious and got their first SEC win of the season.
Mississippi State improved to 13-6, 1-3 in the SEC. Ole Miss fell to 8-9, 2-2.

That’s my junior picture from the MSU yearbook.

I’m so excited to be the new blogger for Msstate-college. I’m Lynn and am a 1993 graduate of Mississippi State. I still try to follow closely what is going at Mississippi State and Starkville, aka Starkpatch or God’s country. We just came off one of our best football seasons in a few years ending with a bowl win! Sylvester Croom is such a great asset to the football department. That’s why I was excited to learn that his contract has been extended to 2011.
I have to admit that I’ve never followed MSU basketball that closely. In fact I only attended one game while at MSU. It was enjoyable but basketball is always more exciting when something is at stake like the Final Four or another big game. So, give me a few days to get catch up on basketball news and then I will try to post the latest sports news.

I plan not to only talk about Mississippi State sports. There is a lot that goes on at MSU throughout the year, and I will do my best to keep everyone informed.
