Funds secured. Breaking ground in 2027.
Wonder why having to wait two years to start.
Have to make sure there are no Indian mounds where they want to build it.**Quote:

Even if you can shave 2-3 months from the process, you probably don't want to start until after the season is done in '26.Quote:

At a conservative estimate, Billy Howard and his family have given high 8-low 9 figures to Mississippi State athletics over the years. Just a great family and a great supporter of Mississippi State.Quote:

I really encourage everyone to watch this video to appreciate what the Howard family means to our athletic program and school.

i recently signed a commitment to endowment scholarships.... These Howards are raising the bar.
Edit: great video on the Howard family. That is really good!
Are we allowed to still be mad at Selmon or do we have to admit he?s actually doing a decent job?**
I “was” not happy with Selmon in his first years. He now is starting to good things. My opinion is still low until he hires a baseball coach. Screw up this hire and I will be back on my soap box about what a bad AD he is.
That is so awesome! Thank you for sharing!Quote:

Yeah this is everything us more mature folks want to see things. Respect, honor and love for your school, not this crap we see today. Very few playing will recognize and appreciate what they have done for MSU. I can get behind a school, a program, a team and players with that kind of character.Quote:

Sorry but the best generations are behind us. God bless them.
Agree, I feel better now but he got to fix football (jury still out) and fix baseball then I'm a Selmon fan, hes earned it.Quote:

The Howard's also gave a multi million dollar check to the State Excellence Fund last year too. They're paying for players just like the rest of us.Quote:
