It's the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Rice Owls colliding in the 55th AutoZone Liberty Bowl, Tues., Dec. 31, at 3 p.m.

For Mississippi State it's the 50th anniversary of its 1st Liberty Bowl appearance in 1963, where they met and bested North Carolina State, and 4th trip overall. Their last appearance in 2007, where they beat UCF, drew a record crowd of 63,816.

Rice, making its 1st AutoZone Liberty Bowl trip, earned its spot trouncing Marshall in the C-USA Championship game.

The Owl’s, with bowl appearances back to 1938, are making their 2nd consecutive bowl appearance – 3rd under head coach David Bailiff.

Speaking of the Bulldogs, Bailiff, said, “We’re excited to face Mississippi State. Dan Mullen and staff are doing a great job. They closed ranks and showed great character down the stretch, winning their last 2 games in overtime to become bowl eligible."

New Exhibits at Elvis Presley’s Graceland in 2013 Walk in the footsteps of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll at Elvis Presley’s Graceland. In addition, to enjoying a tour of Graceland Mansion, the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum, and Elvis’ custom jets. Guests can experience two new exhibits in 2013.
