Mississippi State Bulldogs

Saturday’s meeting of the SEC’s Bulldog mascot teams won’t be impacted by the weather based on updated weather forecasts.

Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc in Florida, but the worst has long since passed. While millions are suffering from its effects, those effects won’t be felt in the weather this weekend.

AccuWeather’s forecast for Saturday afternoon in Athens, Georgia is predicting a temperature around 79 degrees, minimal cloud cover, just a two percent chance of precipitation and wind gusts reaching five miles per hour.

Basically, it’s going to be perfect football weather. Unless you’re hoping Mississippi State pulls off an upset, in which case you want rainy, wet weather conditions.

So, the maroon and white Bulldogs will have to find a way to upset the red and white Bulldogs without the help of Mother Nature.
