Let's focus on the football first and try to put this win in the proper perspective:
- This was our 7th (SEVENTH) win in a row against Kentucky. This lengthens the already longest winning series streak between the two teams. Sidenote: let's not ever forget when this streak began (I'll never forget where I was in DC when I was watching this performance and interview on TV):
- Sacrifice the Wildcats we did. There was so much blood. So much. Only once have we beaten this basketball school so badly, and that was of course under THE KANG in 1994, in Lexington no less. Dawgs won 47-7.
- We actually won a game in black jerseys. Well, dominated really. That's comforting, because I thought they were cursed. Hell I may have even liked them. Still waiting to see that #allgray though.
- We are bowl eligible, for the 6th time in a row. Again, something that's never happened before.
So, heavy handed high-fives to our TEETH captain Dan Mullen and our student-athlete TEETH soldiers. So much effort, so much passion. Good stuff. Never take it for granted.
Okay, so now from the fan perspective. LET'S GO TO THE FUN AND RECAP THE JUNCTION THAT WAS 10.24.15:
- Our contract labor continues to #KILLIT with the Tent Race. This week we had prime corner real estate on the DW:
- Speaking of KILLING IT, there were a couple of people in particular that were #flexing 1st and 2nd TEETH, and they need to be recognized. William Craig took KANG'S LANDING to a very real Game of Thrones level in honor of the Blackout, and dressed in full Jon Snow attire. TEETH, William. TEETH:
And of course Thomas Payne a.k.a. "Tommy" a.k.a. "20K" was murdering the scene as usual:
- This KY fan randomly stumbled into the tailgate with his 3 younger boys and said he worked with Sam Tucker (KL member not in attendance this weekend) in Nashville. So random. Friendship built.
- Two MSU standouts from the Kang's tenure visited The Landing this past weekend: Wayne Madkin (QB) and Eric Moulds (WR). Turner and I had the best 15 minute conversation with Eric Moulds last Saturday. It was pretty cool to talk to a childhood hero like that. We talked about playing for The Kang, what he missed most about playing football, what he's doing currently and where he wants to be, what the strengths and weaknesses were of our current WR corps, what was his favorite NFL quarterback to catch, and how he came to Mississippi State, among all sorts of other things. Kang's Landing magic I tell ya. Look for his name signed and "#1" on the Relentless Effort banner next time you come to The Landing.

- For those that missed it, Hunter Futch gives you a short video taste here:
- LAST BUT NOT LEAST, the all important 5TH TOOTH AWARD goes to Molly Maynard and Kelly Quick for cleaning up the tailgate while the game went on. Relentless Effort. High-five these ladies the next time you see them. TEETH, Molly and Kelly!

- Gameday weekends are tough:
BUT SO WORTH IT.
TEETH,
