Dan Mullen receives letter from mother for team's outstanding sportsmanship

Jon Cooper | 9 years ago

Mississippi State and Dan Mullen have to love getting mail like this. Any school would.

A family was in South Florida and staying at the same hotel as MSU’s players for the Orange Bowl, and the mother took the time to send the program a letter for the team’s outstanding sportsmanship.

This is quite refreshing, both that she took the time to send it and for the reason she sent it:

I was copied on this letter from a Conn. resident who stayed at @HailStateFB hotel during @OrangeBowl. #HailState pic.twitter.com/lGBKO0TDuL

As one Mississippi State fan said in reply to athletic director Scott Stricklin, “I’m more proud of this letter than any win.”

That pretty much sums it up.
