After a long, looooong layoff, MSU football is finally back for a bowl game after a two game winning streak to end the regular season catapulted them into bowl eligibility. MSU's opponent today is the Rice Owls, who come in with a 10-3 record and as conference champions of the C-USA. Can MSU back the stadium with maroon like they did in 2007? Will the Bulldogs' momentum from Thanksgiving continue on New Year's Eve. We'll know the answers to these questions and more in just under a day. Hail State!
