Gov. Tate Reeves posted on Facebook wishing good luck to both Ole Miss and Mississippi State baseball teams, calling it “a big weekend” for the programs and using their signature hashtags, #HottyToddy and #HailState.
Reeves, who serves as governor of Mississippi, did not specify the events or opponents in the brief social media message but highlighted both programs in a single post. The message was accompanied by photos, according to the Facebook entry.
Ole Miss (University of Mississippi) and Mississippi State University field baseball teams with large, passionate followings across the state. Both programs are longtime participants in Southeastern Conference competition, and their successes often draw strong local and regional attention each spring.
Public endorsements from state leaders underscore the cultural and economic importance of college athletics in Mississippi, where games can attract substantial crowds and media coverage. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
