WAS THAT REAL LIFE?
It sure didn't feel like it, as MSU -- after a slow first few drives -- got on a roll, and steamrolled the Rice Owls to the tune of 44-7. It was the Dak Prescott and Jameon Lewis show in Memphis yesterday, and the with the duo returning in 2014, along with a large portion of the MSU offense and defense, there's plenty to be excited about in this new year, once August 31st rolls around. As for yesterday, here are some of the best tweets from the game. If we missed one that you feel like should have been included, make sure to add it in the comments. Hail State!
Ready to start my New Years eve off the right way by watching my dawgs get this win!!!! #HailState

Rice has a walk-on RB by the name of Jayson Carter. He's 4'9". I'll let you pick him out amongst the giants. pic.twitter.com/9KoQRlJXc3

Calhoun with a suplex that Kurt Angle would appreciate. All he needed was a bridge to get the three count.

Stood next to Mullen on the sidelines after the illegal kicking call. He barked out: "BUT HES A KICKER!" That got some laughs from the refs.

Touchdown number five for Dak Prescott. Goodness. That one was an 11-yard run. Rice can't stop him tonight. MSU up 41-7 in 3rd quarter.

If I'm Mullen, I might kick a FG here. Give your kickers a chance for a positive end to the season.
