The Maroon Mic

It happened. Less than year after being named MSU's head coach, Zach Arnett has been fired. We briefly recap the details of why the move had to be made (most of you know this by now), and then we dive into a long list of candidates for the job. Who's the grand slam hire? Who are the next top options? Who's not getting the job? We discuss it all.

Basketball is back to save us from the torture that is football season. We discuss a dominant victory for MBK over ASU. We then preview if State has any shot against A&M and close with our weekly picks.

Football season sucks. It's not worth discussing. But basketball season is back, and that's exciting! So we do a deep dive into the men's and women's teams ahead of a what should be a big year for both programs.

STRIKE UP CREED. THE RANGERS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

If this pod gets taken down for copyright violations, oh well. We give Dan his well-deserved moment and then dive into MSU's homecoming matchup against Kentucky. Will the Dawgs properly honor the interlocking MSU and 98 team (who ironically lost to Kentucky)? It's do or die time for football. Plus we make our picks for a great weekend of games.

If you thought State's win in Fayetteville was a sign that things were turning around, I've got bad news for you. Things did not turn around. Not at all. We assess the state of the program after another poor showing by the Bulldogs.

Can the Bulldogs win two SEC games in a row? They've got a great chance against Auburn. But with a vindictive coach and great home field advantage, could whore eagle cause problems?

Per the record books, Mississippi State technically won a football against Arkansas in the year 2023. But did anyone truly win? We talk an incredible defensive effort and disgusting offensive performance that resulted in State's first SEC victory. Have the Bulldogs turned the season around?

Mississippi State comes off their bye and heads up to Fayetteville to take on the Hogs. Arkansas has been even more disappointing than the Bulldogs so far. Is this the game State turns things around? Who plays at QB, and how does that impact the game? We break it all down plus our weekly picks.

We're at the halfway point of the 2023 season for Mississippi State football. With the Dawgs on a bye, we talk through what's gone wrong for them so far. Is there a path forward? Is a change inevitable at the end of the year? And if that's the case, what does the job look like? We don't shy away from discussing the big picture. Plus our weekly picks.

Mississippi State beat Western Michigan. Mississippi State didn't blow out Western Michigan. That's not a great sign, and it was ultimately more of what we've come to expect from the Bulldogs. While the offense is at least figuring some things out, the defense is still horrible. Why is State in this position? Is Mike Wright the answer at QB? Who's to blame for the defense? What happens if this continues? We discuss it all on today's Maroon Mic.
