Mississippi State football game day news and notes: Bulldogs vs Florida
By Ethan Lee
It’s time to get ready for the Mississippi State football game against Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators. Here’s some links to help you do just that.
In case you didn’t know, the Mississippi State football team will get the chance to face some familiar faces tonight. That’s right, the Mississippi State Bulldogs get to meet up with their old head coach, Dan Mullen.
For those that are not overly familiar with the situation, Mullen built Mississippi State into what it is today: a successful football program. However, after the Bulldogs fell short against Ole Miss last season, Mullen took off for what he apparently perceived to be greener pastures.
That took him to Gainesville, Florida. And now, he’s coming back to Starkville, Mississippi. He’s even bringing a football team with him. It’s his new team, by the way. The Bulldogs and the Gators play tonight. Here’s some links to help you get ready for that game.

This video about Alex Wilcox and the impact she had on her teammates is a tearjerker. Watch and be prepared to cry. It’s a good one. Hail State Productions always does great work and this video is no different.
Music to enjoy before Mississippi State plays this evening:
If you kept up with my work over at For Whom the Cowbell Tolls when Justin and I were writing and podcasting and running stuff over there, you may remember that many of my links posts had music in them as well to close things out. It was a great way to close a post.
And, well, that’s what we’re gonna do here.
Check out Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers performing for a NPR Tiny Desk Concert.
Music is great. Mississippi State football is fun. The Bulldogs play tonight at 5:00 PM Central Time. Until then, maybe play this video on loop?
