Sporting News Defensive Player of the Year: Jarvis Varnado

Mississippi State also brags on the fact Jarvis is the first Division I player to record 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 blocks in a career—although that would seem to go without saying since only one other player (Louisiana-Monroe's Wojciech Myrda) reached the 500-block mark.

Know this about Varnado: He has a knack for blocking shots that you can't teach. He understands how to play the angles, keep shots in play and ensure he plays the team game defensively. His nickname, "Swat," is perfect.

Congratulations, you guys kicked our butts on Saturday. Mullen may be annoying, but he had your guys ready and motivated. You played well on offense, defense and special teams. You should be excited. Congratulations again.

John Bond was one of the most prolific running quarterbacks in the history of the SEC while playing in Emory Bellard's wingbone offense at Mississippi State from 1980-83.

Bond, who started from the time he was a true freshman, carried the ball 572 times during his career, an astounding number of carries for a quarterback in any era. It's one of those records that looked like it would never be broken.

And then Tim Tebow came along.

50 Reasons To Be Excited For College Football Season

Pretty funny read with an MSU mention:

Andy Katz of ESPN talks basketball:

Mississippi State
Starkville isn't exactly Las Vegas or New York, but the Bulldogs seem to generate plenty of news. The eligibility of Renardo Sidney continues to be a major story. Getting 7-2 John Riek eligible after he declared for the draft, went to Cincinnati, had knee surgery and found his way to Starkville was another story. Riek can play, but the big man will have to sit the first nine games. Jarvis Varnado, who declared for the draft, then returned, should easily become the NCAA's all-time leader in blocks. And if the rest of the role players are as good as Rick Stansbury promotes, the Bulldogs should be a top-15 team throughout the season.
