Mississippi State assistant proposes on the field after ReliaQuest Bowl victory
Mississippi State scored an impressive and exciting 19-10 victory over Illinois in the ReliaQuest Bowl to honor the memory of Mike Leach, who passed away last month at the age of 61.
For Mississippi State RB coach Jason Washington, the win was even more special.
That’s because, after the game, Washington got on a knee and proposed to his girlfriend:

The game was memorable for many reasons, but it will be remembered as a truly special day for Washington and his now-fiancé.
Would Leach have had any advice for Washington and his new fiancé? You bet. Elope!
So @AlyssaLang asked @Coach_Leach for wedding advice. He told her to elope. This is fantastic: pic.twitter.com/G438up3NBk

Congratulations to Washington on the win and his engagement.
Congratulations, Coach. Hope you listened to the wedding advice from the Pirate and can sell it to your bride-to-be.
My parents eloped and they celebrated their 70th anniversary shortly before my dad passed away.
