STARKVILLE — Super Bulldog Weekend began 24 years ago as an opportunity for Mississippi State University alumni and fans to return to campus in the spring and enjoy a weekend of athletic events and activities. From its inception, Super Bulldog Weekend has proven to be an event full of fun for the entire family.

As the spring homecoming weekend nears the middle of its third decade on the MSU campus, the 2009 version will offer the same kind of enjoyment for the Bulldog fan. The 24th annual Super Bulldog Weekend – being presented by Regions Bank – begins Friday, April 17, and runs through Sunday, April 19.
