‘Grindin For My State’ Mt. Rushmore

[dawgstudent]

The ones who got that Dawg in them. Always repping State.

Cam Matthews
Boobie Dixon
Jake Mangum

I’m struggling to think of a 4th who is worthy. Dak I think makes it.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yeah that’s a good 4.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Do we employee Boobie in anyway?

I might add Smoot.

 

[aTotal360]

Tez Sweat's huge Walking Bully tattoo will also put him on my Mt Rushmore.

 

[dawgstudent]

I’d add Jeff Simmons for consideration.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

I was actually thinking about this earlier today. Came up with the same three plus Dak as fourth. Used to love Varnado, Norwood, JJ Johnson, Dicenzo Miller, various baseball players, but I think those are the four

 

[HailStout]

Dontae walker*****

 

[HotMop]

Tommy Kelley comes to mind.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Matt Wyatt.

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

Austin Williams grinded for 9 years. Can't we get him up there?

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Austin Williams grinded for 9 years. Can't we get him up there?

In a similar vein, I nominate Ontario Harper.

I think he was here long enough to be vested in PERS.

 

[onewoof]

Renardo Sydney.

 

[biodawg]

I’d probably have to put Charles Rhodes in there some where. You could tell he loved playing for MSU.

John Bond?

 

[LimaoCabeca]

How much overlap is there with the Yazoo City Mt. Rushmore ?**

Rhodes definitely gets consideration - never forget the midcourt logo goodbye kiss.

Gotta be Dak. He’s always showing up to support - CWS, Women’s Final Four…

 

[Chesusdog]

Clear answer is Evan Stone

The fourth? The FIRST has to be Brandon Vincent. Even if he never did a thing for us after he left.

 

[Dogdazey]

Tanner Allen is always speaking well of his time here. Wayne Madkin also.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Darryl Wilson.

 

[MStateDawg]

Jeffery Simmons deserves a mention

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

"various baseball players" was the closest mention of Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro. The Palmeiro Center is a pretty good indicator for Rafael. I don't know every building on campus, but it's there another one named for an ex-athlete?

 

[Ozarkdawg]

But if not a player, it's Jack.

 

[Mr. Cook]

May be redundant…

Winsome Frazier
Eric Moulds
Anthony Dixon
Jeff Brantley

 

[maroonmadman]

Pete Young

 

[Pilgrimdawg]

Pete Young

We have had a lot of baseball players that truly have maroon blood running in their veins.

 

[Dawg84]

John Bond?

Yep!

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Pork Chop Womack, Pig Prather

Dude Noble...

 

[Motodawg]

Do we employee Boobie in anyway?

I might add Smoot.

No. Boobie is a coach in California

 

[Motodawg]

Not a player, but BFW rides for state hard

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Nobody was grinding for State like Andy Cannizzaro.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

How can you have a grinding for State without what this man had to accomplish in one Summer to get to State? Dontae Jones!

 

[Darryl Steight]

I don't think it's recency bias to say Josh Hubbard is rising fast on this list... Not only carrying the team on his back a lot of his freshman year, but shunning other teams' advances to come back, his attitude and leadership. He and his dad both seem to be all in.

Yeah, how many hours did he buzz through that summer at NEMCC? About 30? Can’t remember.

 

[Chesusdog]

Serious answer:

Boobie
Dak
Cam Matthews (though I would not argue against Charles Rhodes instead)
Jake Mangum

I'd argue in favor of a lot of the other names mentioned in this thread, but these guys have been A. great while here, 2. Clearly passionate about State, and lastly they're from the last couple decades.

saw Ontario in the club level this past year.
