This thread is for users to place their entries for the Advocare Texas Kickoff ticket and pregame sideline pass giveaway.
This game is what we have all been waiting for. Our team will be playing on national television, against a nationally ranked BCS opponent, in an enclosed, NFL stadium! It is time for our Dawgs to quiet all of the naysayers and prove that we are to be reckoned with. It is also time for Mullen to get the monkey off of his back regarding ranked opponents. This game sets the tone for our season and for Mullen's tenure going forward. A win in this game and we are looking at another great bowl game following the season. Houston is an easy drive, on a long, holiday weekend, from practically anywhere in our fanbase footprint. Hotel and airfare are cheap for that weekend in Houston. Take your family and your cowbell and enjoy watching your team play on the big stage on college football's opening weekend! Our fans' energy and excitement will be the difference in this game!
Strong first entry!
The Advocare Texas Kickoff will be Our State's first TV appearance since dominating the stadium atmosphere in the 2013 College World Series championship round. During the CWS, our fan support raised eyebrows around the nation. Let's repeat that on August 31st by turning Reliant Stadium into Starkville South. NOW is the time to for Our State to make its place on a big stage with a big W. And that starts with YOU showing up and yelling like H-E-L-L. And lastly, FlabLoser would like to see in person just how accurate his attendance prediction is going to be.
ELITE DAWGS deserve ELITE FANS. I am an ELITE FAN. I bleed maroon and white. The bulldog nation is a strong nation and I love being a part of it. I would love to be in Texas on a national stage representing a brand that stands for perseverance. We have been wanting a winning program for a while and the time is now. There are a lot of naysayers and I am ready to prove them wrong. This team is going to represent the new winning brand that MISSISSIPPI STATE is showing. I hear (fans) saying 6-6 or 5-6 well I am realistic but also hopeful and I still believe. There is a new MISSISSIPPI STATE in town and we just left OMAHA heading from HOUSTON to ATLANTA. HAIL to a new season starting off at the grand stage of TEXAS KICKOFF CLASSIC. ELITE DAWGS can I go? HAILSTATE and GTHOM
My Dad has always worked his ass off, so we've only had a few chances to attend games together in my lifetime. The last time I was able to attend a game with Dad was when the Slytanic sunk to Maine. Is there anything sadder for a young Bulldog and his father? This year the Bulldogs will be as talented as ever, and I'd love nothing more than to experience an epic win over OSU with Dad. Sideline passes would be pretty special. I would love for my Dad and I to be able to Forget the Maine.
Why should I visit Houston and be at the Advocare Texas Kickoff? Because my only visit to the great city of Houston occurred 5 years ago in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. I spent 2 weeks surveying storm surge elevations resulting from the hurricane and I saw Houston at it's worst... widespread destruction, homes and businesses with no power and a damaged Reliant Stadium. I'd like to go back and see Houston's resurgence... and watch my Dawgs play in that great stadium!
The week of this game, my son turns 2 years old. My wife's birthday is also that week. Since he and his older sister (6) were born, they have sported maroon and white. She has been to several basketball, baseball, and football games with my wife (also went to State) and me. However, my son has yet to attend a live game. He watches with me on TV, and in the past couple of weeks, I have started practicing the cheers with him as he watches me play with MSU on NCAA 2014. My kids are off to a great start as far as becoming bulldog fans and alumni in the future, but I really think them witnessing this historic win in person will seal the deal! I can't think of a better first game to take my Son to. I can't think of a better way for this Bulldog family to celebrate 2 birthdays. And, coincidence? 4 tickets...4 family members. Or Divinity? I vote Divinity.
I'm a good driver !

My dad went to State as well as my wife. My two daughters were in the junior bulldog club at age 2. With out exception , they will attend MSU. I am a frequent poster on Elite as well as a frequent caller promoting anything Bulldogs on the OOB show.
As you can see, we are in MSU deep.
So if you are looking for a deserving representative who is not a Johnny come lately fan, than look no further than your own:
Drugdog to go to Texas. I will make Elite Proud.
"dont send a fraud, vote for Drugdog"
I could give you a sad tale about how winning the tickets / passes would bring about some form of healing from the way last season ended. I could tell you that the wife and I save all year long to give each other season tickets as birthday presents and bowl tickets as Christmas gifts. I could tell you that all my children have attended MSU with a large portion of my money, but you don’t want to hear any of that. I will tell you that we are Maroon wearing, cowbell ringing, Hail State saying MSU loving fans.
I live in Oxford and need to get the hell away from all these people during a football game weekend.
Houston - Named after Sam Houston. A great American Patriot. Key figure in the Texas Revolution. Houston represented everything that we do at the PEOPLE'S University. In Arkansas he lived among the Cherokee Tribe and was accepted as a citizen. Something many do not know about Houston is that he REFUSED to swear an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy when Texas seceded. He was a true Bulldog.
As we begin this season it is fitting that we begin in the city named for Sam Houston. His spirit will embody our great football this season. We will honor his legacy by defeating Oklahoma State in his city.
As Houston was accepted by the Native Americans, so shall we accept the Braves of Alcorn into our venue. When have our evil rivals ever hosted a team from the SWAC?
As Houston fought in Texas for Independence, so shall we. A date with the Aggies will finally give us our independence from the whiny screeches hailing from the north about who Mullen the Great can and cannot beat.
Finally, as Houston refused to accept the morally evil Confederacy, we shall take his spirit upon us to vanquish their namesake and return the Golden Egg to it's home.
Yes, my friends, Sam Houston will be with us throughout this glorious season. Beginning in his city we shall prevail, and fittingly end our year in victory against a common enemy, the evil confederate!
I admit that I'm going to the game anyway. My room is booked and I can't wait. I bleed maroon and hate OM equally. My MSU roots go back to my great grandfather playing football and baseball back in 1910. The only other time I've had a sideline pass was the '99 Egg Bowl. I positioned myself directly behind the goalpost to see if the kick was good. History says I was good luck...my favorite MSU victory ever. Gotta good view of Shivers cleaning house after the game too. Good times!
My brother-n-law was diagnosed with leukemia 1 year ago this Sat while I was at the MSU Ladies Football Clinic. I received the dreaded call to return to UMMC immediately as he was sick. After treatment there, he was sent to MD Anderson in Houston with hopes of finding a bone marrow donor- we even had one for him at MSU without any luck. 1 yr Later, instead of going to Ladies Clinic, I am thrilled to be flying to Houston for Andy's NEW Birthday! Yes, they have found a stem cell match and he will have his transplant Friday! I have rooms and flights but no Game tickets. I would love more than anything to surprise them(as they will still be in Houston) and take them to see our beloved dawgs play and celebrate his new lease on life!Quote:

The sacred Maroon and White is back in action. We head off to Texas to play a great team on a national stage. This opening game will set the tone as to what the season holds in store for our beloved Dawgs. Mullen will prove that in year 5 he means business, the SEC will begin to take note as we dismantle an offense that has shown tremendous amounts of success recently. With this opening victory we will roll into SEC play with massive amounts of confidence in our abilities. We get the job done here en route to an 8-4 season. Also it would be a good luck charm of sorts to have an Elite Dawg cheering on in person in his hometown...

Even though she went to the W, she reminds everyone that she is an Alumnus of State College because she went to Kindergarten(?) there.
