MSU Fans Feel Good About The Future

 Send This Story To A Friend

Fresh off a 9-win season and a Gator Bowl whoopin’ of Michigan, Mississippi State fans are feeling pretty good about the state of their football program.  Oh, and winning two straight Egg Bowls hasn’t hurt either.

But it’s not just fans who feel good about MSU’s future.  With record-setting ticket sales, a healthy bounce in fundraising, a $25 million football facility in the works, and a possible stadium expansion coming soon, AD Scott Stricklin is walking a little taller, too:


“It’s gratifying to see kind of this belief that, if you took away some of the glass ceilings that are out there, and some of the preconceptions about what a place is or isn’t, and you say, ‘What if we think we could do anything, what could happen?’  It’s pretty neat to see pretty cool things happen.”


Not bad for one the SEC’s traditional bottom-dwellers.  The Bulldogs’ resurgence proves that with the right coach, upward mobility is possible in the SEC.
