A new era at Mississippi State

MSU has a new football coach. Dan Mullen, the former offensive coordinator for the Florida Gators. You know, the same Florida team that beat down Alabama. The same team that is going to battle for the championship. He might not be the guy responsible for all that, but he's the co-guy.

He's been coaching with Urban Meyer for his entire career. They go way back. Well, as way back as you can go for a 36 year old. Yeah, he's only a few years older than me. Odd.

By all accounts, he's a good one. Will he have MSU winning right off the bat? Probably not, but he's not going to coast along for a few years then decide to start working.

Along the same lines, MSU's new Athletic Director is a breath of fresh air. He's also 36 (I believe) and a real personable guy. I have a chance to meet and talk with him a number of times over the years. It's unreal what he's gotten accomplished in the few months he's been in charge.

Man, I can't wait for football season.
