When I was a kid, it was Leo II and he had a public habitat right there on campus.
I remember going to a football camp there my last year of high school under coach hud. Pretty nice campus from what I remember. Nothing special.Growing up in Northeast Mississippi, I had a LOT of friends and family members that went to the University of North Alabama over in Florence. I remember in my teens when they were a Division II powerhouse and I never once thought that we'd ever see them play Mississippi State. Say what you will about Stanford and Cal in the ACC... this feels even weirder to me.
Kinda like how we played MC’s old bitter rival from Div 2, the Troy Trojans, that fateful stormy day in 2001.Growing up in Northeast Mississippi, I had a LOT of friends and family members that went to the University of North Alabama over in Florence.

It’s still there. Now it’s Leo III. They used to have two lions but the female lion, named Una, died of cancer a couple years ago.
Probably be an even match up as some folks on here think we'll be D2 by then.Growing up in Northeast Mississippi, I had a LOT of friends and family members that went to the University of North Alabama over in Florence.

Yep. My dad has his Bachelor’s from State and his Master’s from UNA.
I am a State grad that works at UNA. The shoals are great. We love it. The river is beautiful, the food is great, and the music/art scene is fun on multiple different occasions. I am excited for the State/UNA game. I may have on a UNA shirt with a State hat.
