Champ was Bully XX from 2009-2015, retiring at the spring game in his final year and officially passing on the harness to his son, Jak.
Sad day in Starkville to be sure. However, what is sadder is that of the 7 stories “above the fold” on this page- 5 are about Dak, 1 is about the dog and 1 is about football. I don’t think it is going to be THAT bad this year for MSU, but things certainly are not headed in the right direction.
They always struggle to say anything about us on this site (especially something good, which there’s plenty right now) so that’s not really a surprise.
