Since football is finally back this week, we decided to drop a brand new episode today featuring a guy who knows a little bit about throwing the pigskin. In this great episode we interview Mississippi State Football own Matt Wyatt about how he ended up in Starkville, memorable and not so memorable experiences playing QB for the Bulldogs, his career in radio and becoming this color analyst alongside Neil Price for Bulldog football games.

For all of you baseball fans out there you will enjoying hearing Matt talk about his bucket list trip to Dyersville, Iowa to see where the Kevin Costner movie “Field of Dreams” was filmed. He made this trip right after Mississippi State Baseball won the National Championship, so I know it definitely made him wonder “Is this heaven?”

Thanks for tuning in to our podcasts and please check us out at johnnypacker.com
