10.7.15: Member Spotlight! - Amy Luckett

Left to Right: Malorie Luckett and Amy Luckett

You've seen Amy around, most likely snapping photos here and there on gamedays and showing razor sharp teeth in general.  She has a knack for, well, actually taking pictures while at the tailgate.   Which is why she is our Official KL Historian.  If you happen to follow @kangslanding on IG and/or Twitter, you're really following Amy.  

Also, you probably knew this, but Amy is also responsible for the artwork and production of the #showsometeeth stickers:

Amy graciously donated her time to answer a few questions for the Member Spotlight Series.  Let's jump in:

1. How many years did you spend in school at MSU?

3 years at MSU (2008-2011), and 5 years total in Starkville (2008-2013)

2. Where do you currently reside?

Jackson, MS

3. Any big news that you want to share since we saw you last season?

In 9 beautiful months, I will be welcoming into the world....... my Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner degree!!

4. Why is Mississippi State special to you?

In 2008, at the ripe age of 17 years and 51 weeks, Mississippi State University became my first home away from home (Building 3 represent!). It was here that I had some of the best times of my life, including many football games and nights out in Starkville with my favorite people in the world. It is also where I learned some very tough (and stupid) life lessons, such as:

  1. Don't lie to the cops (unless you want to spend the night in the West Point jail with what looks like the cast of Orange is the New Black).

  2. Don't order $150 worth of snuggies online for your sister's birthday while you are drunk when you only have 20 dollars in your account.

  3. Acting like you don't owe money to Starkville Electric will not keep them from putting your poor ass in the dark in the dead of winter. 

To put it simply, MSU shaped me into the incredible and badass adult that I am today. One love!

5. What is special about tailgating at Mississippi State/The Junction/Kang's Landing?

1. The laid back, fun atmosphere

2. Having fun with people you share your favorite place/team with

3. It's not the grove

4. POST GAME DANCE PARTIES 

5. The best tunes spotify has to offer breaking the sound barrier through the best sound system in the J 

6. Oh and last, it's not the grove.

6. What is your strongest tooth of the 5 teeth (1. Never take The Junction for granted 2. Build Friendships 3. Show Your Gratitude 4. Be a Proud and Supportive Bulldog 5. Share the Workload)?

I would have to say my strongest tooth is my pearly white tooth #1: Never take The Junction for granted.  If you want proof, ride with me to the next game and look at my stupid smiling face when we get to Starkville. 

7. Do you think it's possible to will a team to victory?

Yes. We may not be able to physically play the game for our Bulldogs, but we can pour every ounce of our enthusiasm and excitement on the Junction and Davis Wade, creating a winning environment, a.k.a. THE TORTURE CHAMBER. So yes, we can will our team to victory. 

8. Favorite KL moments: Go.

1. When The KANG himself came to the tailgate and decided to become a member and love us forever.

2. ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about the Auburn game last year. 

 

Next time you see Amy, give her a high-five for her relentless effort inside and outside The Junction.

TEETH, Amy!  THANK YOU.
