College football is almost here. It’s so close. So let’s get caught up on some Mississippi State Bulldogs news and listen to good music, shall we?
We’ve done it, folks. Time is flying by real fast and the college football offseason is almost over. We’ve done it. We (almost) officially survived the offseason as this is the week that college football is back!
We’ve still got a little time before we see some Mississippi State football, but that’s okay. There’s more to life than just Mississippi State football. We can, and should, enjoy watching other teams as well.
And so, since college football is back, let’s go through some news and notes and listen to really good music.
Mississippi State Bulldogs news and notes from Maroon and White Nation
- Five under the radar college football teams to watch in 2023 by Andrew Miller – College football is a great and wonderful sport and there are a ton of different entertaining teams out there that you should absolutely pay attention to. Here are five, selected by our very own Andrew Miller.
- Power ranking Mississippi State football’s best logos by Justin Strawn – Mississippi State has a lot of logos and Justin Strawn has a lot of opinions. So, naturally, he put together a very definitive list of the best logos in Mississippi State history. He might be wrong, I dunno. The banner M-State logo is actually fine, despite what some like to believe.
- Will Rogers on 2023 Davey O’Brien Award watch list by Ethan Lee – Will Rogers is getting a ton of preseason recognition (though probably not enough, to be completely honest).
- Tulu Griffin lands on ESPN preseason All-America Team by Ethan Lee – Rogers isn’t the only guy getting some attention. MSU’s very own Tulu Griffin has been receiving some recognition for his explosive playmaking athleticism.
- 2 Mississippi State football stars make PFF preseason All-SEC team by Ethan Lee – EVEN MORE PRESEASON LOVE FOR THE BULLDOGS. There’s a lot of that. And that’s good.
Nonsense and other news from elsewhere
In other news: Absolutely not.
Like a scene out of a horror movie, a woman returned to her Arizona home to find a snake had set up camp in her toilet. “Everybody has the same reaction: Oh my god that’s my worst nightmare,” she said. https://t.co/05thYLEZlp

Nope. No way. Absolutely not. Get that out of here.
Also, Sturgill Simpson is in another movie. And that seems odd but also worth celebrating.
Today’s Tunes
Speaking of Sturgill Simpson, this cover of “All the Gold in California” is perfect. Just perfect. Shoutout to Brother Marshall and the Choir of Fire for crafting a beautiful cover of this classic country tune.
Also, let’s listen to Charles Wesley Godwin again, shall we?
Godwin is coming out with a new album here soon and this song, “All Again,” was part of a sampler EP that he released recently. It’s good. Just about everything this dude does is good. Take a gander at this one and get ready for really good music on his new album.
