Mississippi State's baseball team recently added another chapter to their rivalry with Arizona State, and they did it in style. After defeating the Sun Devils 8-4, the Bulldogs took to social media to remind everyone of their previous triumph on the gridiron.
They posted a video highlighting Brenen Thompson's unforgettable 58-yard touchdown catch that led to a thrilling upset over Arizona State last September. That game was a spectacle, with fans pouring onto the field at Davis Wade Stadium in celebration.
The baseball victory in Arlington, Texas, pushed Mississippi State to a perfect 10-0 start under their new coach, Brian O'Connor. The Bulldogs are showing no signs of slowing down as they gear up to face Virginia Tech and then take on the formidable No. 2 UCLA.
The football matchup had its own drama, fueled by comments from Arizona State's coach, Kenny Dillingham, about Starkville's hotel situation. The Sun Devils even tried to mimic Mississippi State's iconic cowbells in practice, but their attempt fell short, much like their performance on the field.
Mississippi State fans embraced the rivalry with a rallying cry of "Starkville vs. Everybody," a sentiment that spread like wildfire across social media and onto T-shirts.
As for Brenen Thompson, his star continues to rise. After breaking the program's single-season record for receiving yards, he's now set to showcase his speed at the NFL combine, where all eyes will be on his 40-yard dash.
