    Based on them saying that the architects are working on "design concepts" currently, that means they haven't done actual building plans yet. So 12-14 months to design; 3-6 months to procure and contract construction; and you are already in late 2026. 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.

    Thank you to the Howard family for investing in State football. NOTHING is more important right now.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    And what about going to eng lab 30 min before game kickoff? They would cry abuse today for something like that.

    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.

    Look, this is the way the Howard family wants to spend their money and help MSU. I am happy they did it. Now some of you can help a player buy a new gold chain with your contribution.

    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.
