Took a few pics of the moon tonite and its being used as part of a slide show accompanying an online article. You can always tell which pics are mine as I like having the date show. Here's the link: Moon

New things

We have a new coach here at MSU - Dan Mullen, offensive coordinator at Florida Gators has been named the 32nd coach of MSU. I'm still upset that Croom was forced out but I think Mullen will be good for us - time will only tell.
Bama is no longer #1 in the nation - they lost to the Fla Gators in the SEC championship so the Gators are playing in the national championship and Bama in the Sugar bowl.

Sadness

First off, we lost...oh wait, that's right...we got creamed by old miss 45-0 this year! I think the Dawgs ate too much food on Thanksgiving and just couldn't play. Sadly, Brandon McRae was injured and had to have surgery due to a broken tibia.
Secondly, we lost our coach. I can't believe that Croom threw in the towel so soon, we just had our first season off probation last year as well as his first real group of his players. Yeah, we've had a rough season but coaches can only do so much, its the players that miss plays or catches not the coaches. I hope they find a coach that's as good as he is about keeping things clean and encouraging more educational values and such. Go DAWGS!!!
What happened to LSU?? They got beat by Arkansas, the team we beat the previous week?? What's up with that??
Oh, how about ROLL TIDE! Bama remains #1 in the nation and undefeated! Next up for them is the SEC championship against Fla.

Hallelujah!!

We finally beat Arkansas!! GO DAWGS!!! They've beat us the last 9 years in a row but the streak ended yesterday with the end result 31-28. Arkansas threatened to send it into overtime - with less then a minute to go, they scored a TD and then kicked an on-side kick and actually recovered it. They moved the ball down to within field goal range and with 4 seconds left on the clock, kicked and MISSED and field goal. It would have sent the game into OT but thankfully, they missed. It was pretty cold outside yesterday and as they set up for the field goal, I thought back to another Arkansas game that went into OT and it was sleeting out at that point. Thankfully it wasn't cold enough to sleet but it felt like it! I was impressed that our fans actually stayed for the whole game but never have I seen a stadium clear out after a game so fast as I saw yesterday! I think everyone made a beeline for heaters to thaw out - sad thing was, it was just 49 degrees out but the wind and the evening sky made it feel soooo much colder. Next up...that other team 93 miles north of us that shall remain nameless but who we hope to beat every single year - GO DAWGS GO beat them rebels!!
What happened to LSU?? Those same rebels we face this week beat LSU 38-13 and this after LSU made a great comeback against Troy last week. I think the eye of the Tiger has closed for the year!
Will Alabama remain #1 after this coming week's game? Auburn has beat them the last 6 years but they aren't playing so well this year. Will they be able to pull an upset and knock off the #1 team in the nation? Time will tell soon...

Roll Tide

Well, we lost to Bama 32-7 but we played them a much better game than most people thought we would. What I'm disappointed with is...what happened to our receivers? How do you have 10 dropped passes in a game and most of them were right on the money?? We should have had more first downs and possibly a higher score but noooooo, our receivers had to keep dropping the ball!!! Well, the players wanted to play a #1 Alabama on national tv and they got their wish but they also lost miserably to them - Roll Tide! You're looking good for the SEC! Congrats Vandy on being bowl eligible for the first time in 26 years!! How about that LSU game?? WoW! Down 31-3 in the 3rd and came back to win 40-31 - Go Tigers!

Disappointment

I'm so very very unhappy with my Dawgs right now - I don't understand how we could show so much improvement last season and go to a bowl game and this season just bomb. I get tired of the coaches saying how well we executed this that and the other - just admit that the team played poorly and fix it! This weekend we have a bye week but next week we have to roll into Bryant Stadium and face the current #1 team in the nation, Alabama. We have beaten them the past 2 years and it would be nice to do so again but I just can't see how we can do so with the way we've played this year. Granted, most of our games were either close or improvements (score wise) over last season but still.... I will continue to cheer on my Dawgs - I don't give up on them, even when I'm frustrated. GO DAWGS!!

What happened??

We played such a good game last week only to get shoved off the mountain by the Tn. Vol. - 34-3. Where were our players? I know that QB Tyson Lee was injured in the first quarter and played injured but what happened to our team? I reckon Tn just wanted the win way more then we did - especially since it was their first SEC win. Next up is Middle Tenn and homecoming at Davis-Wade Stadium. Go Dawgs!!

Overrated??

I don't think that Vandy is really that overrated, they played a good game but MSU just wanted the win more. Both defenses played tough ball but we came up with big turnovers when we needed them. I think this will be Vandy's year to go to a bowl game - they've worked so hard over the past few years to get to where they are right now. MSU is working just as hard to try to turn our season around - Tyson Lee is working out as QB right now so I hope it continues. GO DAWGS!!

Upset

So, what did you think of this weekend in football?? Look at all the upsets that occurred.... I guess the 2 that surprised me (SEC games are what I keep up with most) were Ole Miss beating #4 Fla. at The Swamp by 1 pt. and #8 Bama beating #3 Ga. between the hedges 41-30. Guess Bama's coach is finally starting to prove he's worth his money. I hate seeing Ga. lose to Bama - Ga. is my team in the east. How about the match-up in the west between my Dawgs and LSU? Last year, we lost to LSU 45-0. This year we lost 34-24. Our offense played much better this week under the leadership of Tyson Lee - hope he has more time as QB. Our defense had a hard time holding Charles Scott of LSU to short or no gains - he chewed up the yardage! What do you think of Vandy being 5 and 0 now? I just heard that ESPN gameday is going to be broadcasting from the game between Vandy and Auburn and it's the first time Vandy has had gameday broadcast at home.
GO DAWGS!

Very disappointing

I think the MSU football team forgot to get on the team bus to Ga. Tech and that fans had to fill-in for them. That was an awful game on Sat. Please somebody, either fire Woody McCorvey or get rid of the West Coast Offense - one of them isn't working! We are heading to another losing season after going to a bowl game last year...

Rare and odd

What a game we had against Auburn! The defense - wow! The offense...what offense??? We sucked BIG time on the offense side of the ball. Somebody tell McCorvey to find a new job!!! It was a rare score - 3 to 2. This has only happened 6 times in football history, the last being in 1965 (yep, that was before I was born). Go Dawgs!

I think....

We're going to kick some Tiger tail this weekend - they won't know what happened to them. Go Dawgs Go!

AT LAST!!!

Its home game day and my Dawgs are gonna win the game - GO DAWGS GO!!!!!!

What happened??

How did my Dawgs lose to La Tech?? It looked like we were going to win but then the momentum shifted and La Tech rolled on to win 22-14. Sadly, we were the first BCS team they beat on their home turf and we are also the only SEC team they play this year. Why does such things always happen to us?????
GO DAWGS!

Big day????? Hmmmm....

Well, my first day back to TKD was alright but far from satisfying. I was able to do a few kicks in the beginning class but mostly just helped out. I figured I'd be able to do more stuff in my class (advanced) but I was wrong. No one showed up! The instructor was there, I was there, and 1 other person was there...that was it! Nada, nothing....so, we didn't have class. Frustrating, especially since I won't go to TKD every time its offered right now. I'm having to do a lot of hauling of trash and books at one of our branch libraries and feel that on days I do a lot of that, I should skip TKD so that I don't overdo it. Oh well.....football starts this weekend - GO DAWGS!!!

Big day

I finally get to start back with taekwondo tomorrow nite! I'm all done with physical therapy for my knee but will have some home exercises to do to continue the healing process. I still have a ways to go as I can't run very well yet (learned that this weekend trying to chase my nieces around).
This coming weekend is the start of FOOTBALL season - Mississippi State Style!! GO DAWGS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wowza!

The knee is healing very well and faster then it did after surgery 8 years ago! Hopefully it won't be long till I can get back to my martial arts. I'm sooooo restless and ready to kick butt!!

ouch!

I'm sittin here just a few days after having had arthroscopic knee surgery (2nd in 8 years) and watching video clips of football. Yep, its on my mind (that and the slight pain in my knee now that I have the brace off). Bulldawg football is coming soon!! Go Dawgs Go!

Long time

WoW! Didn't realize it had been so long since I last post - I must do better!
Spent time out at the Refuge today (Noxubee Refuge) and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Got a little sunburnt sa well. Anyway, here's a pic from the day...click on it to view the large size and get a better view.

Sports

This weekend (March 29...) is Super Bulldog Weekend - lots of baseball to watch, spring football scrimmage, and good food to eat! Something for everyone to enjoy!
How about MSU basketball this year?? SEC West Champs and made it to the 2nd round of the 'big dance'. GO DAWGS!!!!

I wish it were year-round

MSU football starts Aug. 30th with La. Tech. Hope the Dawgs do as well or better then this season and get to another bowl game - GO DAWGS!!!

Ok...

I admit, I was wrong about the Super Bowl but that's ok cause I really didn't care who won the game! I just hate that an old miss player led the Giants to victory....

Super Bowl Predictions

Patriots will wipe the floor with the Giants and end with a perfect record!

Champs!

How about those LSU Tigers? National champs again! And how about the SEC?? Winning 7 out of 9 bowl games!!
