MSU News and Notes | Friday, September 28, 2012

Happy Friday folks! Hope it's been a quick work week for ya and you're headed off to do something fun in the off weekend. Might I suggest some fun activities?

1. Jogging (soft j)
2. Read a good book
3. JÄGER BOMBS
4. Get a puppy
5. Attend a tractor pull

Hopefully you can find something constructive and fun to do out of the above list, or might I suggest mixing all of them together? It could be fun! let's dive in to the News and Notes, shall we?

• I love you, off week. So far the off week has given us Snow and Egg Bowl jerseys, and now the great god of off weeks has given Dan Mullen in a wing eating contest at Buffalo Wild Wings. With photographic evidence, I might add! Here's Dan in action (he ate 24 in 5 minutes!)

• DAN MULLEN ANGLING FOR NICK SABAN'S JOB PPPPAAAWWWWWLLLLLL?!?!?!?!

More Mullen: "I want what's best for the state of Mississippi but I still have a hard time rooting" for Ole Miss. He then adds a Roll Tide.

• Did you hear? The NFL regular refs have returned. Here's their return grand entrance.
• It's no surprise that State has a lot to be excited about when baseball season rolls around next spring. Coach Cohen returns the bulk of a team that won the SEC tournament championship last year, and the team is hungry for more in 2013. The media met with Coach Cohen yesterday, and he had a lot to say about the squad as they prepare for fall practice. State does lose Chris Stratton, Nick Routt, and Caleb Reed, but the team returns a ton on offense, including what will hopefully be a healthy tandem of C.T. Bradford and Daryl Norris, among many others. Lots of good info in that recap from Barcello.
• This is flat scary (and also awesome):

Per MSU head baseball coach John Cohen, true freshman RHP John Marc Shelly "can run it up to 93-95 mph."
