Should Bulldog Fans Refer to Dakota Hudson as Dak Hudson?

With Dakota Hudson dealing like he is for the Mississippi State baseball team, should Bulldog fans simply call him Dak like Dak Prescott?

Let me be clear, I don’t like this idea at all. The reason Dak Prescott was called Dak was because this was a long standing truncation of his name before Prescott ever came to Mississippi State.

I have yet to hear anyone in the media or associated with the Mississippi State baseball team refer to Dakota Hudson as anything but Dakota. If he has ever been called Dak, it  hasn’t become common knowledge.

But after his dominant performance over the Ole Miss Rebels on Friday night, there have been a number of Mississippi State baseball fans who have already started to call him Dak,. or at least are making a case for doing so.

So there are definitely some. But is it the majority of Mississippi State baseball fans?

I took a poll on Twitter just to see how many of my followers were doing so. I’m glad to report it doesn’t appear to be that wide spread. I don’t know how representative of the fan base this poll is, but it at least can give you a decent idea of what some fans are thinking.

It’s a pretty high number against it. Here are a couple of responses I received from the poll when I put it on Twitter.

So there you have it. Tell us whether or not you agree if Mississippi State baseball fans should refer to Dakota Hudson as Dak.
