Gather round girls and boys...you can even sit on Uncle NIH's lap( 
) It was a chilly October night in 2009 and Mississippi State great Anthony Dixon had just finished the game of his life vs. the Wildcats...

Which lead to this beautifully written piece by Mississippi State professor Whit Wade on what grindin' is and what it means to State.

Since then grindin' has become a revolution on the SEC Rant and everywhere where Bulldogs are.

REPORTER: Anthony Dixon, what a game! You broke a few records tonight! Were you just feeling it out there?
DIXON: Yeah, I was pushin' it. I'm a senior. I want to go out with a bang. I promise I do. The records are what they are. I am not concerned with that. I enjoy having fun with these guys. I love my team. This was a team effort. I just want to do my part. To the best of my ability. I'm just out here grindin' for my team. I'm grindin' for my State. I'm just trying to do what I can.

quote:
What does it mean "to grind"? Grindin' simply means to work hard and to have pride, respect, and honor in the thing you are working for. It of course has meaning that pre-dates today, but its Bulldawg connotation was born amongst guys like Dixon. Young black fellows who like rap music and sports. The young black community adopted the word and gave it its own meaning. And in so doing, I believe, created a perfect branding and personification of what being a Mississippi State Bulldawg is all about. We grind for our State.
