Mississippi State Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen is running in Monday's Boston Marathon, despite never having even run a 5K. He arrived in Boston on Sunday after coaching in Mississippi State's spring game on Saturday, and picked up his bib, identifying him as runner 29,394, from Starkville. Starkville, Michigan, that is.

The postal code for Mississippi is MS, not MI. It's an easy mistake to make, but Michigan and Michigan State fans might be a bit concerned that they suddenly have an SEC team in their backyard. Then again, maybe Starkville's sudden relocation is just a way for Mullen to get around the NCAA's ban on satellite camps (OK, probably not).
