Starkville, MS -- January 5, 2006

On Thursday, January 5th, the Cotton District Grill in Starkville, Mississippi has been selected for the 5th year to host "Dawgs Talk with Rick Stansbury". This weekly, hour long, call-in show features Coach Stansbury and Jack Cristil on the Mississippi State men's basketball team. The live broadcast will continue airing every Thursday night at 7 pm (CT) during the 2005-06 season.

"Our staff and management are big supporters of the Mississippi State teams and we know our customers are too. It is just natural for us to continue this great partnership between MSU and The Cotton District Grill again this year," said John Bean, president of the Cotton District Grill.

This partnership began due to the restaurant's loyal following among students and locals alike. Larry Templeton, MSU Athletic Director, asked John Bean, President of the Grill, about hosting the universities call in show. The Cotton District Grill installed the necessary equipment and has continued the successful partnership into the present season.

"We want to see the Bulldog fans out in force! This is a great way for us to connect with those fans and offer them an up close and personal experience with Coach Stansbury," said David Whitten, Area Supervisor of all the Grill restaurants owned by University Management, Inc.

Fans are invited to come and show their support during "Dawgs Talk with Rick Stansbury" every Thursday at 7 pm (CT). Nightly specials will be offered during the show.
