MOVIE NIGHT TONIGHT AT SCOTT FIELD

We have mentioned in this column previously about the movie night at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field tonight at 6:15 p.m. (gates open at 6 p.m.). We will show “A Game Of Change,” and “Remember The Titans,” and Coach Mullen will address the crowd between movies.

UNIFORM UNVEILING A SUCCESS

We also want to thank everyone who joined us yesterday for the new football uniform unveiling at Barnes and Noble Bookstore adjacent to Scott Field.  It was a great success...see mstateathletics.com for a video and photo gallery.  Approximately 200 fans, alumni and students heard Coach Mullen and saw the new uniforms.  We certainly want to thank Michael Ball, the adidas regional representative, for attending as well.
