The Maroon Mic

There's not a ton happening in the MSU athletics world, so we go into a variety topics. Updates on the 2023 football roster, the basketball teams, MSU's bowl picture, playoff expansion, Auburn hiring a joke of a coach, and our final Pick 'Em of the season. 

Your Bulldogs are 2022 Egg Bowl Champions! We break down how a dominant defensive effort gives State their first win in the series in 3 years plus our thoughts on the future of CFB in Mississippi, Ole Miss fans being trash, and what bowl MSU could find themselves in. 

Happy Thanksgiving! The greatest holiday of the year has arrived, and we all know what that means. It's time for our annual battle with the Reb-Bear-Sharks of Oxford Junior College. In a special episode, we get all four members of the Maroon Mic on to discuss everything happening with this year's game along with their favorite Egg Bowl memories. 

State plays their final home game of the season vs ETSU, and well, there's not much to say about that. So along with a brief preview of our FCS opponent, we get Colton on the show for more basketball talk. We literally just did our big preview show, and it's obviously still early. But so far, it looks like it will be an exciting season at the Hump. So let's hype those teams up some more. 

The battle of the bulldogs went about as well as we expected. So let's break it down. 

Lots of topics discussed on today's pod. We take a look at everything happening around campus beyond the gridiron ahead of a loaded weekend for MSU athletics. Then we break down the Georgia Bulldogs and what needs to happen if MSU wants to make it a magical night in Starkville. 

MSU survives against Auburn in one of the weirdest (and ugliest) games you'll ever see. Andrew and Lounge break down what went right and wrong for the Bulldogs and have a chat about the big picture takeaways from this season thus far. Plus, a recap of Men's Basketball's season opening win as the Chris Jans era begins. 

Solo show for today's pod as Andrew previews State's showdown with Auburn. State is at home off a bye and is clearly the better team. But Auburn gets the interim boost with Cadillac Williams in charge. Is Auburn Jesus going to rise again and spoil the Bulldogs' season? We sure hope not, but let's discuss how they matchup to see how likely it is. 

Mississippi State is in need of a new AD after John Cohen is hired away to takeover the Auburn athletic department (that is not at all a cluster). We discuss the move and what direction we think MSU should take with the new AD hire. Plus, we give breakdowns of the men's and women's basketball teams ahead of the upcoming season.

Note: there may be a few times that audio cuts out thanks to bad internet, but the points being made still come through.

We're 2/3 of the way through the 2022 CFB season. Mississippi State is right in line with where most of us had them projected in the preseason, but recent struggles are creating frustrations amongst the fanbase. As the team enjoys a must-needed bye week, we evaluate where the Bulldogs stand through 8 games. Do they look like we expected? What's better or worse? How can they meet their preseason expectations? We discuss all of this and more in the latest edition of the Maroon Mic.
