Give Dear 'Ol State a click..



When Jak was just a baby, he was picked to take over the family business whenever his father retired. Jak?s grandfather, who he never met, was the first in the family tree to run it, taking the job as a young pup in 2001.

Good piece.

I like Jak's coloration a lot now that I've seen a good image of him

I've always wondered what her official role is (for the school I mean).

She's technically a Vet Tech and works for Mississippi State.

I wish Jak had more white in his coat. Basically being all red just doesn't do it for me and isn't what I think of when I think of "Bully."

Jak looks great. And he's going to get tired of hearing the older dogs whining about how easy Jak has it and how bad the pre-spread offense days of MSU were.

Personally, I love Jak's look. I've always thought of Bully as being far more brown than UGA, so Champ's face especially has always seemed a tad overly white to me. Jak looks exactly like a Bully, IMO.

I too prefer more white on the coat. I always thought Champ had the perfect balance and was a very good looking pup. However, Jak is also a very good looking dog and will make a fine Bully I'm sure.

Let's hope he is as successful, if not moreso, than his pappy
