It has been reported that MSU is getting serious about building some practice facilities. From what I've gathered, everything is pointing in the direction of this idea turning into bricks and mortar in 08. Earlier in the week I threw out an idea to some of those whose have influence in these decisions. It was to build a museum/hall of fame along with the new practice facilities. The ideas are endless. Most of our trophies and the hall of fame are in the Hump and when fans and prospective students visit campus, how many actually visit the hump to see them. From my experience since I left MSU, some of the destinations to visit on campus are the Sanderson Center, the Chapel of Memories and now the Cullis Wade Depot. Why not have a museum/hall of fame along with new practice facilities. We could have everything from the famous bulldog team that left in the cover of darkness to play in the NCAA tournament to current SEC tournament and season trophies. Not to mention this could be a great fundraising tool, b/c I'm hear to tell ya, it doesn't look that the talent level at MSU will be dropping off anytime soon. Now I write this to ask everyone who reads this page to spread the word and call the Bulldog Club and talk to anyone who will listen or email Doc. Anything to plant the seed. If you like the idea I hope you'll tell someone else and maybe if we all voice our support it can be done.
Psalm 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

Great idea!
I have had the idea of a Mississippi State University Bulldog basketball museum for years! It is a great idea.That great team that defied segregation in the early 1960's,the great characters that we have had here, such as Bailey Howell,Babe McCarthy,Jack Cristil,and the many other great players we have had here. It NEEDS TO BE DONE, it would be a great recruiting tool and just a boost to the fastest rising basketball program in America!
I also think it might be kind of cool to also have a museum of Mississippi High School basketball along with it, if possible.I would love to see homage payed to some of the many legends of Mississippi High School Basketball such as "The Mississippi Stick Man" Jerry Jenkins,"Black Superman" Billy Ray Bates,the fantastic Short brothers,Pervis and Eugene,"The Leaping Unknown" Larry Smith,and other Mississippi High School basketball stars like Chris Jackson,Clinton Wyatt,"Ghost" Leonard,"Slick" Watts,Sam Lacey,Mike Green,etc.
Obviously, Mississippi High School basketball is my hobby, but FIRST comes the Mississippi State University Bulldogs Basketball Museum!
Again,A great idea whose time has come!
