Gospel truth

Late SuperDog Father also attended State. Worked at Blue Bell spreading cloth on the night shift. Commuted 2 hour drive to and from daily his junior year of college as he was married with myself and my younger sister at home (both preschool). Finally dropped out from that strain and began a lifelong very successful career with Farm Bureau Ins in NE MS. Passed away much too young at 59. Raised me hardcore MSU as I have my now 22 year old son. Hail State!

Bachelors In Communication from State. Masters in Leadership from South University

I Graduated from Memphis State. Long story.

However, prior, Dad graduated from Mississippi State and worked at Mississippi State for many years. We sat in the faculty/staff section and wore maroon. That cemented my fandom. My kid is a current student at Mississippi State as well.

I know many people that have the sheepskin from Mississippi State that don't give two damn about Bulldog athletics. I give more and have attended many more games than most Mississippi State graduates.

Was born and bred Maroon and white. I didn't graduate, went to mcc and wasn't a big fan of the classroom after my baseball career ended, got offered a great job after mcc and took and been working ever since. My dad got his undergraduate and phd in forestry from State after he returned from serving in the Marines in Viet Nam in the 70s so I spent a good portion of my youth roaming Starkville and wandering around the campus. All my children are Dawgs!

As many have said you have to be true Maroon to be a gluten for what we've been through but I wouldn't have it any other way!

I'm one of those oddballs. Grew up outside Atlanta and was a UGA die hard - even got in.
But, MSU recruited me, gave me a little money and class credit, and when I came to visit I just knew I was home.

There's a very prominent MSU family from Inverness who did the Delta to Chicago run well before I did and we knew them; in high school, I checked cotton on their place while working for an entomologist...but yeah, they are (mostly) in a league of their own.

That's awesome, not odd at all. I just meant it's a small % that didn't attend at all but yet root for the Bulldogs in sports. You'd have to be a sadomasochist... or some deep MSU family roots.

Thank you! Four year battle with stage 4 colorectal cancer that had metastasized to her liver. She was a warrior, and a great mother, wife, daughter, & sister. Not a bad pharmacist either.

Not a graduate.

Couple generations of family are, but time o got to college age we lived out of state and I neither wanted to pay out of state tuition nor wanted to leave my hot cheer leader captain GF (now wife and mother of 3)
