Day 76: Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack And Other Great Bulldog Names
When thinking of #76 and MSU Football, one thing comes to mind: Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack. In my mind, he has the greatest name in Mississippi State football history. Who doesn't love an All-American offensive tackle with the name "Pork Chop?"
2012 ROSTER - BEST NAME: I have to give it to Nickoe Whitley. Hard-hitting name for a hard-hitting player.
Here are some other notable names from former Bulldog players...
Adesola Badon (1995-98) - Always liked this one growing up.
R.R. Biggers (1926) - Sounds like an old-school sherriff

Blondy Black (1940-42) - Opposite ends of the spectrum
Dorrsett Davis (1999-01) - BA name for a BA player
