The Mississippi Hound Dogs is a professional indoor football team due to begin play in the Ultimate Indoor Football League for its 2012 season. Based in Tupelo, Mississippi, the Hound Dogs will play their home games at the BancorpSouth Arena as a member of the new UIFL South Division.^[1][2]

The Hound Dogs name is an homage to Tupelo's best-known native, the "King of Rock 'n Roll" Elvis Presley, in particular his cover version of "Hound Dog," which became that song's best-known version and one of Elvis' best-known recordings in general.

The Hound Dogs will be the third indoor football team to play in Tupelo, after the Tupelo FireAnts of the National Indoor Football League (2001–2004) and the Mississippi MudCats of the American Indoor Football Association (2007).

On August 16th, the team announced that Martino Theus would be the team's first ever head coach.^[3]
