Bailey heads for Starkville via Iraq

 

Timmy Bailey, a 6-foot-3, 241-pound linebacker, signed a football letter of intent with Mississippi State on Wednesday, two months after returning from a year of active duty with the Mississippi National Guard in Iraq.

Bailey, who runs a 4.6-second time for 40 yards and possesses a 41-inch vertical jump, could have played against East Carolina had he accepted his only other Division I-A offer out of Riverside High school in Avon, MS, which was from Southern Miss.

Bailey instead joined the National Guard and, after going through basic training, enrolled at Mississippi Delta Community College, where he led the team in tackles with 95 in 2003 before his unit was called to active duty.

SEC schools Ole Miss and Alabama as well as Big 12 member Texas A&M offered him football grants following his return from Iraq.

Bailey said he picked the Bulldogs because Coach Sylvester Croom had recruited him prior to his assignment overseas.


Texas A&M Gridders vie in "Big Splash"

The second-annual “Big Splash” diving competition, so named because it features some of the larger members of the Texas A&M football team, will be held in conjunction with the Texas A&M men’s swimming and diving team’s home meet with archrival Texas on Friday.

The “Big Splash” will be contested during the break between the actual one-meter and three-meter diving events.

A new “Big Splash” Champion is assured since last year’s winner, tight end Joey Thomas, will not compete. Among the heavyweights scheduled to splash down are 300-pounders Kirk Elder, Chris Yoder and Vincent Williams.
