MSU seniors Casey Jenkins and Cole Glass rang cowbells as they cheered on the Dudy Gras parade passing Friday afternoon through downtown Starkville. The annual festivity marked the opening of Dudy Noble Field for private seating structures spanning the outfield areas. A first-ever Dudy Gras Ball Feb. 12 at the Hilton Garden Inn will conclude the eight-day celebration--and aid the local Red Cross chapter. View our Facebook slideshow at facebook.com/msstate
