I Never Stopped Believing in Our Bulldog Team

And you shouldn't either.

I Never Stopped Believing in Our Bulldog Team

Tally Duke

I have been a fan of Mississippi State for my entire life. I am the fourth generation at this school, and my grandpa even played for MSU, so I know what it is like to be a state fan.

It is a roller coaster ride, but I wouldn't want it any other way

It always breaks my heart to see students, and fans give up on the team or blame a loss on one person. Football is a team sport, so a loss is a TEAM effort.

Mississippi State football will keep you on your toes. It always has and it always will, and it is not for the weak at heart, or bandwagon fans.

It breaks my heart when I see people hating on our team

Students tweeting mean things towards our quarterback, petty Instagram captions, and flat out rude articles being written and published. The players see that stuff y'all, and I'm sure it saddens them even more.

The boys are fighters, and when needed they will step up to the plate, and even surprise you, so just because our team had one bad day does not mean you should rule them out for the rest of the season.

I will never stop believing in my school's football team

I know what it is like to be a Mississippi State fan, so I know that they will surprise everyone when we least expect it. To our awesome, talented football team: do not listen to everyone else. Just keep getting better, faster, stronger, and prove EVERYONE wrong.

Also students: I want to see you get out on that field in front of THOUSANDS, and see if you can perform as well as our boys can. Put yourself in someone else's shoes before you decide to throw out unnecessary hate.

I will be at every home game ringing my cowbell as loud as I can, and so should you fellow students. Maybe not because you are the biggest fan, but because you go to this school so at least show some respect and school spirit

This might be a little bit of a rant, but I feel like it's necessary to defend our football team from all the hate they have been receiving recently. Hail State my dudes, keep up the champion standard on and off the field and you will rise above this.

Thanks for coming to MY TED talk.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
