Sure, you've seen impressive rally cap performances before, but have you even seen one as good as this? Good enough to pull MSU out with a win in a 17-inning all-night affair? I didn't think so (via @CindyGladney)

Dudy Noble Field has now seen 5,000,000 fans enter the gates since the school began taking attendance in 1976. That's a pretty big milestone, so the school will commemorate it by giving out the above lapel pin to the first 5,000 who enter tomorrow night's game. That is pretty sweet. (via @RhettHobart)

Phil Turner was one of the scrappiest players in his time at Mississippi State, a time that was cut short due to miscommunications with the coaching staff. Turner finished his career at Delta State in Cleveland, but he did come back to get his degree in maroon and white. (via sixpackspeak)

Coach Dan Mullen and the rest of the MSU head coaches may be on a rampant tour of the state of Mississippi this week, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have time to stop and take in a photo op with [flys out of corner] [folding chair to the back of his head] OH YEAHHHHHHH (via @JoeState)

Everyone knows that recruiting 8th graders is a thing of the past. IN UTERO recruiting is where it's at now, and Dan Mullen is pioneering the efforts. You see coach Mullen signing a sonogram, I see the recruitment beginning for Scottfield Jenkins, class of 2031 Quarterback (via)

Just for fun, not real (OR IS IT?!)

Happy Friday everyone! Here's former MSU great Jonathan Papelbon in Lego form. Available for purchase here (and spring training version can be found here!)

As always, well done, brother Shane. #HailState #fieldsoftwitter #NCAA #important

The NFL Draft kicks off tonight, and MSU's 2012 starting cornerback pair of Johnthan Banks and Darius Slay will be watching anxiously to see where they are taken. Nice front page on them in the Clarion Ledger today. (via @joestate)

You see a dog packing himself into a box, I see a metaphor for State fans packing the Dude this weekend (note: the Dude is much nicer than a cardboard box)
