The Maroon Mic

Baseball sweeps Auburn, the basketball portal is heating up, and football plays its spring game.

Super Bulldog Weekend has arrived. We talk the spring game and baseball's series with Auburn. But first we look at the transfer portal.

It finally happened. State lost a series to Ole Miss in baseball. We had 'em in the first half, not gonna lie. Andrew and Lounge discuss a frustrating weekend on the diamond where State let the series completely slip away. Then Andrew discusses the back half of the MSU defense and how those positions are currently shaping out.

We talk portal news in basketball, football's search for a running back, discuss the fat guys on the football team, preview baseball's series in Oxford, and close talking a huge weekend ahead for softball.

Baseball gets back on track with a big series win in Starkville. We discuss the positives from the weekend and the incompetence that is SEC officiating. We then talk softball ascending to new heights, have a long discussion about Chris Jans and the basketball coaching carousel, and close with a look at the MSU pass-catchers.

Baseball is in bad need of a series win after a frustrating week. Can they get it done against a UGA squad that absolutely rakes? But first, we talk MSU's spring running back room and the concerns around that unit plus portal news for basketball and a look at softball.

Baseball squanders a perfect opportunity at Florida and then dropped an ugly midweek to Central Arkansas. Hooray. Basketball gets good news about next season's roster, and we look at the spring QB room for football.

Baseball lost momentum down in Biloxi. Now LSU comes to town. Do the Diamond Dawgs have a shot without Nate Dohm?

Baseball keeps winning, softball takes the series in Oxford, and MBK is going to drive everyone crazy.

NOTE: there is a moment Andrew says Texas A&M MBK had 19 fouls. He meant 9.

Just Andrew today. He recaps MBK taking another loss and teetering closer to the bubble. SCAR is massive Saturday. WBK's season likely came to an end with a disastrous SECT performance. Baseball beats the mustard buzzards, and Billy Butler says something dumb.

We've got a loaded weekend of MSU sports to discuss. Baseball gets a sweep, softball continues to dominate, former football stars at the NFL Combine, MBK falls to AU and has a huge game coming up, and WBK beats Mizzou and has a must-win on deck.

Death, taxes, and Mississippi State basketball taking heartbreaking losses to Kentucky. It happened again, and this one was far more brutal than normal. But there are still positives we can take away from the game. We then look ahead to MBK's trip to Auburn and do a wraparound of all the latest MSU action.

MSU MBK is on fire right now. We talk a dominant win over LSU and look ahead to a massive game at the Hump vs UK. But before that, we recap the weekend of baseball, get an update on softball, and close out the show with WBK. Plus Andrew rips into UK fans.

MBK stayed hot with a win over Ole Miss. Softball continues its incredible start. And that's all that happened in MSU sports over the past few days. Right? I'd say we treat it that way, but I couldn't help but still have a Come to Jesus Meeting about baseball. And finally, Andrew gets to talk about football (even though it isn't exactly positive).

Then we recap MBK getting their second top-10 win of the season by shutting down Auburn. We end with a preview of MBK's trip to Oxford.

Last week we asked if anything good could happen for Mississippi State. And now, it seems as though fortunes have changed. We talk basketball getting back to winning, momentum on the recruiting trail, and discuss State's 2024 football schedule.

Well it's just been day after day of bad news for Mississippi State, huh? We react to it all. Is basketball season dead? Is the football coaching staff worth a crap? Will State actually get a good QB out of the portal? Let's dive into it.

We have another loaded show for this Thanksgiving week. We recap the weekend that was in Mississippi State sports. Then we go deep into the latest on the coaching search, including berating the opinions of many within the MSU universe. We give a brief preview of the Egg Bowl (which is such a weird thing to say given the game that it is), and close with our picks for the week.

LONG EPISODE. We talk basketball. And then we go into a deep dive on several possible candidates beyond the initial hot board. We throw out tons of names, including several that State fans will absolutely hate! Then as always we finish with our weekly picks.

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?
