Reeves posts ahead of Mississippi State-Ole Miss baseball game
Gov. Tate Reeves used Facebook to call attention to an in-state college baseball matchup between Mississippi State and Ole Miss, posting that it was “game day in Mississippi.”
In the social media post, Reeves referenced the rivalry and included the hashtags #HailState and #HottyToddy, which are commonly used by supporters of Mississippi State and Ole Miss respectively.
Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi are long-standing rivals in Southeastern Conference athletics, and their baseball meetings draw strong interest across the state. Games between the two programs often generate lively fan engagement on social media and can be a focal point of local sports coverage.
Reeves’ post highlights the cultural importance of college sports in Mississippi and the role social media plays in fueling rivalry-day excitement. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
