As you probably know I am a huge Mississippi State Fan. And as such, I celebrate the week before the Egg Bowl with Ole Miss, known as Ole Miss Hate Week. This is our week to spread as much hate as we can for that school up north. I am posting a meme each day (most I've made myself) ragging on TSUN. Enjoy.

So, Mississippi State is holding a design challenge for 6 new banners that will hang over the west side of the new stadium due to be completed this year. Check out the info here.

I think this challenge started yesterday or today and is due by late Sunday. Not much time - guess they're just looking for ideas. Well, just so happens I was off this week prior to a business trip next week so I had the day to put something together. Here is what I came up with.

I thought that with the new stadium, and the 100 years since football started being played at State, that a look back over the different changes throughout the years would be cool. I submitted and we'll see what happens. Read Article »

On New Years Eve, Mississippi State will play in the Liberty Bowl against Rice. This is our 4th bowl game in 4 years (longest streak in school history), it is also the 50th anniversary of State's Liberty Bowl game, played in 1963, against North Carolina State. 

With all of the commemorative uniforms we do, how about a throwback uniform worn during that game?

Above is of the few pictures I could find of the actual uniforms worn during the '63 season. So what I've done below may not be perfect, but you get the idea.

And here is my rendition of the uniform and helmet.

 I know the bulldog is different than what was displayed on the helmets from that time. (couldn't find a single usable image for the file). But I incorporated State's older Bulldog logo. I am personally a big fan of this one, so it's fitting.

The uniform consisted of a maroon helmet and jersey with white pants. The helmet had a white face mask with a small bulldog image on either side and the players numbers on the front half just above the face mask. The jersey was adorned with the players numbers on front and back

as well. I couldn't find a picture of what was actually on the back other than the number, but I like the look of the Miss. State for this application. The jersey also had white trim on the sleeves. The pants were white with thin double maroon stripes running down each side. Maroon legs ran from the top of the white socks to the bottom of the pants.

I want to thank DawgSmack for getting me interested in this. If you haven't read it already, you need to check out his article on Maroon and White. He makes a great case for this and is also a whole hell of a better writer than I am. Read Article »

Congratulations to Mississippi State on an amazing win last night to regain the Golden Egg and become bowl-eligible for the 4th straight year! I think those golden helmets are my new good luck charm...

The Bulldogs defense forced an overtime fumble to cement an improbable rivalry win.

Hey everyone! I sat down for a while this morning and worked up a new logo for the 'this team team makes me drink' t-shirt. After all the other sites I was selling on deleted them because of copyright issues I created one that does not contain any trademarked images of Mississippi State University. So this one should be good to go. I hope you like it. Spread the word!

Another update on the 'This Team Makes Me Drink' design. Due to licensing issues with Mississippi State and the NCAA I couldn't legally sell the design on shirts so I had to develop a new design with the same visual meaning but wouldn't violate any trademarks. I incorporated the old State Bulldog face and reworked the M to get this:

Well, here we are again. Another college football season, another disappointing Mississippi State team. I love the dawgs and always will, so we learn to cope. I stumbled across a post over at SixPackSpeak about a "This team makes me drink" post. They were looking for an image, so after the loss to Auburn last night I decided to create one. Using Photoshop CS3 I came up with this design, what do you think?

And, if State ever wanted to make a little extra walking around money, they could throw it on a t-shirt and sell it. Because of licencing I won't, but I'd sure buy one.

  Hail State!


*****UPDATE*****

I believe this may have gone viral on twitter and the forums today. That's pretty awesome, but I got a lot of feedback stating how it would look so much better if it had a paw instead of a human hand. Well, here you are:

I personally love this shirt!

 Mississippi State and adidas unveiled new TECHFIT football uniforms for the Bulldogs' upcoming games, "The Snow Bowl" versus Texas A&M at home on November 3 and "The Egg Bowl" against Ole Miss in Oxford on November 24.

One of the most memorable games in Independence Bowl History was the 2000 "snow bowl" game between Texas A&M and Mississippi State. The game was originally publicized as a reunion game, since Mississippi State coach Jackie Sherrill had served as A&M's coach for six seasons in the 1980s and led them to three conference titles. However, the weather quickly dominated the story line as a rare and significant snowstorm hit Shreveport. In the midst of the snow, Mississippi State rallied to an overtime win over A&M.

Wanted to pay a little tribute to Anthony Dixon, Mississippi State’s greatest running back. He’s leaving this year (senior year) without any of the respect from a lot of people that he deserves.

The following is taken from BradLocke from Inside Mississippi State Sports. This is a comparison between Dixon and Mark Ingram from Alabama who is one of the front runners for the Heisman:

• Rushing yards: Dixon 1,391; Ingram 1,542

• Yards per game: Dixon 126.5 (11 games); Ingram 118.6 (13 games)

• Yards per carry: Dixon 5.4; Ingram 6.2

• Rushing touchdowns: Dixon 12, Ingram 15

• Receptions-yards-TDs: Dixon 18-123-0; Ingram 30-322-3

OK, now let’s go a little deeper.

• 100-yard games: Dixon 8 (in 11 games); Ingram 8 (in 13 games)

• Season low (carries-yards): Dixon 15-53, vs. Florida; Ingram 16-30, vs. Auburn

• Season high (carries-yards): Dixon 33-252, vs. Kentucky; Ingram 24-246, vs. South Carolina

• Yards per game vs. ranked opponents: Dixon 95.8 (five games); Ingram 144.8 (four games)

• Yards per game vs. bowl teams: Dixon 126.8 (10 games); Ingram 127.1 (9 games)

• Yards per game against common opponents (6 games): Dixon 135.3; Ingram 108.2

• Percentage of rushing offense accounted for: Dixon 50.93; Ingram 54.95

There is talk of Mississippi State unveiling a new football helmet for next year. The pictures that are floating around have us going back to the maroon helmets with a white M State logo. You can view these photos here. This is a rendering I did of the new concept.

I created the helmet in Cinema 4d and designed the logo in Photoshop. I like the helmet design and will probably be doing more teams from time to time.

Well, I am a HUGE Mississippi State Fan. Especially when it comes to football. If you follow sports at all you’re probably laughing right now.A lot of people blame our head coach, Sylvester Croom, for our horrible seasons. I have to agree to a certain extent, but I don’t want to get into that.

This is my rendition of him, notice the upside down playbook? Ha, It’s all good though Croom.
