The Floor General, Coach Brandy Akers

Brandy was selected to serve as the Guest Coach for the MSU Lady Dawgs in their game vs. University of Louisiana-Lafayette. She got to sit on the bench with the rest of the coaches and join the timeout huddles. She also had to deliver a brief two-minute speech to the team prior to tipoff. The team responded with a 30+ point win. So, in the span of a month, we've hosted the Egg Bowl trophy in our living room with the starting QB and Brandy has served as the Guest Coach courtside for a basketball game. You just really don't get to do that at D1 programs. That's a little of what makes Starkville and MSU so special. These kinds of things don't happen at most institutions and in most athletic departments. Go Dawgs!
