Poll: how many generations deep is your Bulldog family?

[eckie1]

I think this will be interesting to see…

My son will be at State next month and will be a fifth generation Bulldog! That really blows my mind, because I didn’t know about a great uncle and one of his ancestors attending. The earliest alumnus from my family graduated in 1900!

To clarify, you’re an alumnus even if you attended and didn’t graduate. And of course, if you and all 12 of your siblings went/graduated it’s still only one generation.

First to attend/graduate from MSU. Dad was always a bulldog fan but didn't go to college. Had an uncle and cousins that went

 

[Villagedawg]

My sons are 4th gen. if you count my grandmother who went to some type of teacher training at MSU in the 1920s. Otherwise, my parents were the first generation to get full on degrees. Their parents were very working class, factory, and small farmers.

I am just a fan and never attended Mississippi State. In fact, I never even graduated high school. I became a fan because my cousin played there in the 70's as was All SEC JR & SR years at safety and a 2nd team All American his senior year. He is in the Mississippi State hall of fame and some of you may have known him as he was a part of the Bulldog Club. His name was Stan Black. He played safety his JR & SR years and in the NFL and punt returner but I think he led the team in receptions his sophomore year as a WR but we didn't throw much back then. FR weren't allowed to play back then.

But... my one of my daughter's got her undergrad degree from State and I helped fund that so I have spend money. FYI, she got her grad degree from OM. She said that she knew she hated Ole Miss before she attended but once she had to go there she found out why she hated them.

That makes your family 1st 2nd generation! Light it up!

My bad, if you had a cousin attend and a child, you’re in the 2nd gen club!

Three, I’m the one in the middle.

About to be two deep, daughter enrolls this fall.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Im first. My daughter who graduated high school this year says she is 2nd, after she does the prelim **** at CC here since she isnt actually ready to leave home

 

[Lowdog]

4th generation! My oldest grand child graduated last year from State. She was 2yrs cheerleader as was her mother back in the day. I have another granddaughter headed to State in 1yr. Another granddaughter that will graduate high school in couple of years and is looking to get a D-1 scholarship in soccer. She plays on her school team and travel ball. I know I am biased but she is really good. Rest of grandkids are too young to have a clue where they are going.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

3rd Generation. Both of my parents; my brother & myself; both of my kids are there now. Brothers kids are USM, UL-L, and LSU.

 

[hatfieldms]

First. my dad is an ole Miss fan, though he pulls for state when not playing ole Miss. he is more of a saints fan who has the Archie connection

 

[FreeDawg]

My great grandfather was the football team cook poached from the University of Tennessee. My grandfather lettered in golf and boxing. My dad lettered in partying. My mom did not go to MSU but was born on campus before her family moved to Jackson. I graduated from the Business college. I'm counting that as 4th generation. Pretty certain at least one of my 3 kids will go to State if college is still a thing in 10-15 years

Who's going to ask?

My great uncle was Lee Peister. 1925 Olympian in Paris. Javelin. He also built the chapel of memories they used bricks from old main as we all know. My grandfather pitched for state 21-23.

Mine sent me this during orientation as they were explaining how to check degree progress, I'm happy she got to go to public school in Florida.

My sister and I were the first to go to a 4 year university. So I blame her for this life of torment by leading the way.

 

[vhdawg]

I have an uncle who went to Mississippi State (as well as another who went to Ole Miss, but he lived in northeast Tennessee), but both my parents are Mississippi College graduates

 

[Dawg1969]

Fifth starting this fall.

 

[DawgsOnTheWing]

My father started there but enlisted in the Army Air Corps his FR year after the start of WWII. Never went back.
I got B.S. and my sister got M.S. there.
My son and daughter both got undergrad degrees there.

 

[Napoleon378]

I am 3rd generation. Hopefully my kids will be the 4th. I'm currently looking at my grandad's cowbell passed down to me (sits in my office as an heirloom no bringing to games), and I have his old MSU class ring from way back. I'm not a big ring wearer but it's cool to have.

 

[NukeDogg]

I'm second gen, had two aunts that graduated before me.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

2nd. Grandparents on one side didn't go to college and were Ole Miss fans, until his kids went to MSU. Grandparents on the other side were farmers and didn't give a 17 about sports or college.
