As many of you have heard Brad Locke was in a car accident yesterday while traveling to Starkville. He is in the hospital and we’ll update you about his condition. I visited with his family last night and they were encouraged that it could have been worse and Brad was getting better. He had even talked about signing day with one of the doctors.

Miss. State’s Gregg Ellis visited with me and offered well wishes from him, Coach Stansbury and MSU to Brad’s family, which was very classy. Hope you continue pray for Brad and his family during this time.

One of the things that has always impressed me about this blog both during Brad’s time here and before when Gregg was with the Journal is the strong sense of community MSU fans feel and the way they come together in tough and good times. I was very impressed to see some of the kind comments below and I’m sure Brad and his family welcome your well wishes.

Thanks to all who visit here and just as Brad would want until he gets back we’ll continue to give the Bulldog news here and look forward to hearing from you.

Just wanted to wish you well and a speedy recovery, you will be missed. Man stuff happens in an instant, 1/2 second can change your life, it makes you appreciate everything once you make it through all this. Stay strong in your recovery, don't worry about work, everyone I'm sure will take care of your stuff while you are out. Thats what friends do! Good Luck, wish you well!
