@JakeCoulter14 @jimbrewer99 I think it’s safe to say that it is likely not filled with @puckett_48 highlights.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

A @HailStateFB national championship is the only appropriate ending to 2020.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

We also didn’t have a public vote on whether or not to declare April Confederate Heritage Month, but that sure didn’t stop you.

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

Over the weekend there has been a proposal floating amongst some in the legislature to create a second Mississippi flag. Let’s call it the “Separate but Equal” flag option.

While well-intentioned I’m sure, it does not meet the threshold.

Thankful to gather as the Church this morning digitally so that we could be socially distant but spiritually connected. Although @bryant_may did put our guest to sleep with his message...

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Patton was in my small group at FUMC Starkville. He’s killing it in college track!

[Southern Miss Track & Field/Cross Country @SouthernMissTF]

The Starkville native has done it! Patton broke a 2⃣1⃣-year old school record today 🤯😤

MacLeod has been better than advertised. Hard not to wonder if @HailStateBB wins it all last year if he manages to stay healthy.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

@AlekPope Think there’s a decent chance Rogers from Brandon may play a lot as a Freshman. Air raid guy his whole life, recruited by Leach out of high school, mentored by Minshew, his dad (HS OC) is a Leach disciple. Think we’ve just gotta develop some receivers.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

I have no clue if Leach will work out. But I will say that you can’t out-athlete the SEC west. You’ve got to do something different and win with less talent at MSU. No one fits the bill better than Mike Leach.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

MSU wants a hard-nosed coach with a track record for winning at every level. An offensive mind with a nack for training NFL QBs (well 1 at least). We need an MSU guy. We need Brad Peterson.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Boy, was I wrong. In all seriousness, hope he lands on his feet at his next stop. Think Moorhead is one of those guys who will do well elsewhere but just didn’t resonate at MSU for whatever reason.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Innovative offensive coach with HC experience. @BallCoachJoeMo checks all the boxes. Could see this being a slam dunk hire. #HailState

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

That was literally the most ugly and perfectly appropriate way for the Egg Bowl to end. Nonetheless, #HailState

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

The greatest QB of all time standing next to Gardner Minshew.

[Mike Leach @Coach_Leach]

Two Uncle Ricos

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Nothing is more Mississippi State than the offense finally clicking, and then Tommy Stevens and Kylin Hill promptly get hurt.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

@CareyTylr23 I genuinely don't know how these two issues are related. Drugs find their way into America without the help of undocumented factory workers.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Lot of hot takes on the recent ICE raid floating around. Two thoughts:
1) I think a lot of people finally realized that policy affects actual people in our communities.
2) Surely there is a more grace-filled way to enforce laws than what was demonstrated.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Think this was my favorite @HailStateBB since I've been alive. Such a great combination of talent and grit. Just genuinely hate they had to walk off in defeat. Sometimes the game is too cruel.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Umpire squeezes us in the bottom of the 9th after having a huge zone all night. Absolutely pitiful.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Consider this the official petition to make Terry Powell Mississippi State's superfan for the Finebaum Show and all other media outlets.

[Phil Bergman @PhilBergman_]

Do you remember that Mississippi State fan whose wife's boyfriend sold his prosthetic leg so he could come up to the #CWS and cheer on #HailState?

Well he's back again and I have an update on the leg.

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

The sickest bat flip/curtain call of our generation.

[NCAA Baseball @NCAABaseball]

BIG. MAC. ENERGY.

#RoadToOmaha | @HailStateBB

[Austin Puckett @puckett_48]

Big hit Mac isn't the most talented player to come through Starkville, but he will end his career as one of the most beloved bulldogs of all time. What a way to say bye to Dudy Noble.
