The Mississippi State football team will be coming off of a highly disappointing game against Auburn as they head to Provo tomorrow. So how will Mother Nature welcome the Bulldogs to Utah?

We all remember the last time the Bulldogs played the Cougars, and it was not kind for the Mississippi State football team. Hopefully the refs will be kind to us on Friday. Anyway, with the new environment, how will the Bulldogs respond?

Weather-wise, we have what we call an “atmospheric river” headed towards Utah. Basically that is a highly-saturated river of moisture. This will make conditions more humid for the Cougars to deal with, but not very humid at all. However, the drop in temperatures will not be there to greet the Bulldogs. Temperatures will be familiar to this Mississippi State football squad. High in Provo will be in the mid-70s Friday.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, I prefer my coffee black. No cream. No sugar. If you don’t make my coffee that way, I won’t drink it. Black coffee is best coffee. I may also down two pots before this game is over. Hail State, and follow the official weather twitter for radar updates for this game.
