Do The Right Thing (MSU)

Do The Right Thing Hats off to Mississippi State (36), which managed to schedule an easy victory to open the Dan Mullen Era and break an overdue barrier at the same time. When the Bulldogs host Jackson State on Saturday, it will be the first-ever meeting between a Southeastern Conference team and a Southwestern Athletic Conference team.

Somehow, the SEC has avoided scheduling a SWAC opponent for all these years. The last big-six league to hire an African-American football coach certainly has not avoided scheduling plenty of I-AA teams in the past, but somehow never saw fit to give an opportunity (and a big check) to one of the historically black colleges in its own backyard.
