When all everyone can talk about is Houston Nutt, the BCS scam, or High School football championships – the Lady Bulldogs are giving STATE fans something else to talk about. They have an impressive 8-2 record so far this season, beating teams such as Memphis and Southern.

In the 2007-08 season, they’ve already made a trip to Cancun where they played in the Cancun Caribbean Challenge. It seems as though they enjoyed their time off the court more than on the court. They lost to Iowa and Oklahoma (54-60 and 73-88).

Last season they finished 7-7 in the SEC, 6th overall, and the last time they made an appearance in the NCAA tournament was in 2003. Their first conference game doesn’t come until the New Year (Jan. 3rd) against Alabama, but they're eager to take a bite out of the SEC.

With all the starters returning, Head Coach Sharon Fanning is hoping her 13th season with the Lady Bulldogs will end with similar success that Coach Croom has enjoyed with his football program.

One thing is for sure – they know how to score; 8 out of their 10 games, the Lady Bulldogs have scored over 70 points. In their game against Memphis they scored an impressive 92 points.

After all this football stuff is over, get on dog watch!
