STARKVILLE — Starkville Quarterback Club President Larry Graves is excited about the prospects for a good year.
The club, which promotes Mississippi State football throughout the season, begins its 44th season of meetings Sept. 3.
Meetings are held on each Thursday night during the season at the Starkville Country Club on Montgomery Street. A social hour begins at 6 p.m. The meal, announcement of door prizes, and speakers starts at 7 p.m.
“We”ve always averaged over 100 members each year, with some years approaching 200 members,” Graves said. “The club is expecting a large membership this year, as well with the excitement that new MSU head coach Dan Mullen is bringing to the table.”
Mullen is expected to address the club”s first meeting. Each week a member of the coaching staff will give a scouting report and update on the team.
The club works closely with the MSU athletic department to line up speakers. Some of those already scheduled include MSU coach Bob Tyler, former MSU basketball player and current television announcer Joe Dean Jr., MSU Athletic Director Greg Byrne, MSU basketball coach Rick Stansbury, MSU baseball coach John Cohen, Starkville High School football coach Bill Lee, and Starkville Academy football coach Brian Sims.
