First 5k fans at Friday game will get commemorative lapel pin for 5 million fans at Dudy Noble
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)
Former MSU basketball player Phil Turner graduates from MSU
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)
No big deal, just Coach Mullen posing with Hulk Hogan
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)
Sure mam, Dan Mullen would be happy to sign your sonogram

The "Pack the Dude" movement, summed up in one .GIF
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)
Music Maker nabs FUN for October show at The Hump
It's not Bulldog Bash, but this is a really, really impressive get by Music Maker productions to get FUN to play at The Hump next fall. Not the biggest FUN fan personally, but I do like them, and this is a huge draw for Starkville. I would be shocked if it didn't sell out and in a hurry. Looks like tickets go on sale this week.
