Cross Country: Mississippi State concluded its 2023 season with seven new personal best times and the best team finish since 2018 at the NCAA South Region meet.

Did You Notice?

  • Air Force Superintendent Lieutenant General Richard M. Clark has been selected to replace Bill Hancock as the new executive director of the College Football Playoff. Mississippi State President/CFP Board of Managers Chair Mark Keenum: "General Clark's experience leading the U.S Air Force Academy as a Three-star General and also being a four-year letter winner with the U.S Air Force Football team gives him a strong background to excel in this crucial leadership role. I would add that we will surely miss Bill Hancock, but I want to note that Bill has graciously offered to stay on board through January 2025 to help General Clark get ready. Bill will remain at the helm throughout this season, while 2024 will mark a year of transition. Bill has been an outstanding leader for CFP's first 10 years. Everyone in college football owes Bill a debt of gratitude." 
  • In men's basketball, MSU is among nation's leaders by returning 80.9 percent of its points, 72.4 percent of its rebounds, 83.8 percent of its assists, 83.6 percent of its steals and 75.2 percent of its blocks from last season. However, it was the newcomers who racked up 44 of the team's 71 points (61.9 percent) against Arizona State during the season opener.
  • Cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. is having quite the season with the Browns.

Quote of the Day:

“The game doesn't change. The pressure stays the same from Little League to the majors. What does change is the outside elements, all the things that can make you lose focus: the money, the press, the fans. So I tell myself, 'Don't try to impress the people in the stands. Do it for the self-satisfaction.' It sounds greedy, but it relaxes you." — Will Clark
