This weekend, the MSU Sports Hall of Fame inducts five new members. Each day this week, we’ll be highlighting one of those individuals in this space.
Everyone has a story about Phil Silva. The trouble is, Phil Silva has a story about everyone else, too.
Mississippi State’s head equipment manager for the last 33 years, Silva has been the most consistent presence in the modern era of Bulldog football, his time spanning from Emory Bellard to Dan Mullen and John Bond to Dak Prescott. The equipment room in the new football complex is already named after the legendary figure and personality, and this weekend, Silva gets yet another honor as he is inducted into the MSU Sports Hall of Fame.
