Mississippi State basketball lunchtime links: Bulldogs take to road to battle South Carolina

Ben Howland and Mississippi State basketball are on the road to meet the South Carolina Gamecocks. We’re eight days into the new year and the Bulldogs will take the court tonight for the first time this year.

It’s officially gameday for the men’s Mississippi State basketball team! Ben Howland and the Bulldogs are getting the SEC schedule started up on the road against South Carolina. To help get ready for the game, here’s some news and notes and music and even a way for you to make a difference and the world a little better.

Get ready for tonight, folks, and make sure that you enjoy your lunch. Here’s some links to help you do just that.

Let’s do some good:

Sarah Barnes’s Medical Expenses – There’s a Mississippi State fan in need. We have a way that we can help. Check out their GoFundMe here and please donate if you’re available to. If you aren’t able, then consider sharing it! Let’s help out some members of the Mississippi State family.

In case you missed it from Maroon and White Nation:

• It’s gameday: No. 14 Mississippi State basketball vs. South Carolina 2019– Ben Howland’s team jumps into action tonight on the road against South Carolina. Start getting ready for it, folks!
• Charles Moore decommits from Mississippi State football during championship game – Okay, look, not all of the news that we have today is good news. Charles Moore has decommitted from MSU.
• The Commercial Dispatch proves it’s out of touch with Mississippi State fans – It was bad enough that The Commercial Dispatch fired Brett Hudson, but things have gotten worse between MSU fans and the newspaper. It appears that The Dispatch really doesn’t understand the Bulldog faithful and they also don’t seem to have any sort of crisis management knowledge.

• Men’s Mississippi State basketball moves into Top 15 of AP Top 25 – Ben Howland’s Bulldogs keep climbing up in the rankings. The Bulldogs are getting some solid respect now.
• No. 7 Mississippi State basketball dispatches of No. 16 Kentucky with 15 point win – And of course, Vic Schaefer’s Bulldogs continue to annihilate their foes.

Oh, hey, Alabama got demolished by Clemson last night:

• “Clemson humbles Alabama to win National Championship: 3 takeaways” from FanSided- No, Nick Saban’s dynasty isn’t over just yet, but don’t be surprised if Dabo Swinney builds a dynasty at Clemson that acts as a successor to Saban’s at Alabama.
• “Alabama never looked so helpless or desperate under Nick Saban” from FanSided- Look, it’s not often that Alabama loses. Under Nick Saban, the Crimson Tide crush just about everyone and everything that stands in their path. Last night, Clemson did the crushing and Alabama looked helpless and hopeless.

Here, enjoy a song:

This is hardly a college football song, it’s really just a break up song. But the 2018-2019 college football season has come to a close and that kinda feels like a break up at the moment. The season wasn’t great for the Bulldogs by any means, but it was hardly the worst one in recent history.

But now, college football is gone. We’re onto basketball (both men’s and women’s) and then soon baseball and softball will get going. We can officially move on from watching football and transition right on over into something new and more exciting for us.
