State appeared to be afraid of the Tiger last night too (via i.dailymail.co.uk)
I doubt anyone who watched last night's game is in a spectacular mood this morning, nevertheless we must press on. Outside of action in Baton Rouge yesterday, the softball team moved to 5-0, and we crept one day closer to opening day at The Dude. So before you rush off to work to meet with a man whose volume that early is completely unnecessary (that's what I'm doing), take a look at these links that I have just compiled for your right here because I am so thoughtful.
- Here's the postgame report from HailState.com on last night's affair. And here are the official statistics for the game.
- Yesterday wasn't all bad, as the Mississippi State Softball Team defeated Samford 6-3 in action taking place in Birmingham yesterday. They moved to 5-0 on the season with the win.
- This article from Michael Wardlaw at Bulldawg Junction kind of sums it all up well re: MSU Men's Basketball, doesn't it?
- Here's the post-game recap from Marcello on last night's game.
- In case you missed it yesterday, we helped out State of the Texans, a Houston Texans blog, with a NFL Draft profile on MSU DT Fletcher Cox. Enjoyed working with them on that.
- We learned yesterday via his own twitter account of this nice writeup on MSU LB Brandon Maye at RookieDraft.com. Article also features an audio interview with him. Good stuff
- Looking for information on this weekend's baseball opponent Washington State? Well there's not much, but here's the official Washington State baseball page, which features a post about how Baseball America has tabbed them as a postseason team this year.
That's all for now you guys. Have a great morning, and if you're in a bad mood let the Black Keys help you out with that.

Bulldogs close deal on Brown duo | Clarion Ledger
"They all thought I was going to Oxford for my Ole Miss official visit, and instead I showed up there and surprised them," said Brown, who did not go public with his commitment until Wednesday. "I was sitting in their office when they walked in and committed."
It certainly quelled the anxiety in MSU's offices in the Bryan Building last weekend. Fans, though, had to wait until National Signing Day to hear Brown's decision, which provided the final piece to the Bulldogs' defensive-heavy recruiting puzzle: a four-star linebacker and the state's only Parade All-American.
Less than two hours earlier, Florence, Ala., linebacker Beniquez Brown picked MSU. Auburn reportedly offered him a scholarship at 5:45 a.m. At his signing ceremony, he faked out friends and family by lifting an Auburn hat before trading it for the maroon of MSU.

"We helped it slip away," MSU coach Rick Stansbury said. "We had some turnovers there."
The Bulldogs committed 15 turnovers and couldn't force the Gators into mistakes. Florida turned the ball over only once in the second half (five times in the game) and connected on 11 of 24 3-pointers.
Florida's Bradley Beal and Erik Murphy were a combined 7-for-11 on 3-pointers. Beal led the Gators with 19 points and Murphy added 14 as four Gators scored in double figures.
State was within striking distance for most of the game. The Bulldogs out-rebounded the Gators 34-26 and attempted 14 free throws to the Gators' seven (their first made free throw came with 1:13 remaining).

From football to basketball to baseball, it's all in here today, so click away!
2012 Football Look Ahead: Wide Receiver, Tight End | Brad Locke
• Likely starters: Bumphis, Clark, Smith
• Overall grade: B. This is a tough group to grade. It wasn't as productive last season as I expected it to be, although we saw some really nice things from Clark and Smith. Bumphis has to reach that next level, because Lewis will be gunning for his job in the slot.
• Depth grade: A. So much experience returning here. Lewis needs to get more involved, and Morrow offers the kind of big target MSU has lacked.
