MSU: Breakfast of (Possible) Champions
Focus...Determination...Intensity...and this is just breakfast.
MSU players and coaches gathered in the spacious dining room of the Columbus Country Club to feast on classic Southern cooking, and to gather as a team before the big season opener tonight vs. South Carolina.
The looks of the faces were evident on the team as they entered. Smiling, happy faces became stoic and serious as they entered the room. Feasting on eggs, sausage, ham, potatoes, grits, cereals, and pretty much every kind of topping under the sun (including the thickest butter I've ever seen), the Bulldog players ate quietly, savoring the moment, but at the same time, realizing the importance of the meal they were eating.
This meal is the symbol of all the work they put in during spring practices, and the tiring summer workouts. This is what 2-a-days, film study, and all the hours they've put in is all about. The meal was serious, because this means the world to everyone who ate there today. Everything they've worked for begins to produce results tonight.
Fans are gathering all over Scott Field, tailgating and enjoying this beautiful summer afternoon. Game time is approaching, and we'll have tailgate talks, plus first game impressions and post-game conference quotes as Mission: SEC Football opens off here at Mississippi State.
