The Maroon Mic

State needs to bounce back against a feisty Toledo squad. Let's break down the Rockets.

Mississippi State football had a terrible night against Arizona State. They got run all over, and they couldn't run it. We discuss the issues on both sides of the ball and what it means going forward.

Mississippi State plays an important out of conference game at Arizona State on Saturday. The Sun Devils look much better than we thought they would before the year through one game. Have our expectations changed, and should they? We break down the matchup and give our predictions for the week.

We have the first football game of the season to recap, so naturally, the first thing we talk about is tennis. But then we dive into State's 56-7 win over EKU. The offense was explosive. The defense was a mixed-bag. But it was a great showing for Jeff Lebby's squad.

The 2024 college football season is underway, and the eyes of the nation will be turned to Starkville where the mighty Mississippi State Bulldogs face off with the titans known as Eastern Kentucky. Andrew and Colton break down State's FCS opponent and talk what they want and need to see from the Bulldogs to open up the year. Plus they make their CFB predictions for the week.

It's Game Week! Mississippi State football kicks off the 2024 season this Saturday against Eastern Kentucky. The Maroon Mic gang comes together to give their full preview of the Bulldogs for this season. We talk offense, defense, the top players on both sides of the ball, and give our expectations and predictions for the year.

For as much as we don't know what to think about Mississippi State football in 2024, we are really clueless about the defense. Andrew and Colton try to breakdown each position group and what to expect from this unit.

Jeff Lebby is brining his high-flying attack to Starkville. Does he have the pieces to field a successful offense right away? Let's break down State's offensive roster.

We conclude our opponent previews with a look at Mississippi State's road SEC games. The Bulldogs have a brutal road slate featuring four top-15 teams. But can State be competitive in at least one of these games to give hope for the future?

For our next batch of opponent previews, we breakdown MSU's home SEC opponents. What are we expecting out of Florida, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Missouri? There's no question these are the most winnable SEC games MSU plays in 2024, and they'll need to perform well in them to make a bowl.

It's time to begin our opponent previews for the 2024 Mississippi State football season. Today we break down State's four non-conference opponents.

Just Andrew today, so he does what he knows best: talks offensive football. Andrew dives into the philosophy behind Jeff Lebby's offense and how it all works.

MSU baseball had a highly productive MLB Draft. We go through the selections, talk players returning, and which draftees are set up to succeed. Then we go through State's time at SEC Media Days.

SEC Media Days takes place next week. We discuss the questions we'd ask Jeff Lebby and his team if we were in attendance. But first, we talk baseball's big pick ups in the portal.

On July 1, Texas and Oklahoma formally became members of the SEC. We discuss our feelings on the new world of college sports, what if anything changes for MSU, and what MSU needs to do moving forward.

Which players are most important for the Bulldogs this fall and why? We break it down plus a look at basketball news, baseball's portal class, and football's momentum in recruiting.

Going into 2021, the Tennessee football program was in utter disarray. Josh Huepel was tasted with navigating that mess, and few expected much from the Vols that season. But with his Veer and Shoot attack, he immediately turned things around using a roster of largely unheralded players. Flash forward to 2024, and Mississippi State is in an eerily similar spot. Can Jeff Lebby organize a similar tur...

Jeff Lebby has been a successful branch off the Veer and Shoot offensive tree. How has this offense translated historically when implemented at struggling programs. We look at six cases to highlight what's on the way for State. Plus baseball portal news, football scheduling talk, and Mike Leach's omission from the Hall of Fame.

Baseball season has come to an end. Let's talk the regional, the season as a whole, and look ahead to the future.

State's off to Charlottesville for regional play. We breakdown each team in the regional and discuss State's chances.

MSU baseball is returning to a regional, but they'll have to go on the road. We discuss State not hosting, the issues with the selection process, and where we disagree with narratives about the decision. We close with a look at the Charlottesville regional and State's path to Omaha.

Mississippi State baseball is rounding into form at the exact right time. We talk the emergence of Mr. Clutch, the pitching staff reaching it's full potential, and how good they could be if the two biggest bats would provide literally anything. We close talking hosting scenarios.

Mississippi State baseball could have all but locked up a hosting spot by sweeping Mizzou. Instead, they now need to make a run in the SEC Tournament to accomplish that goal. But first we recap softball's short-lived postseason and Chris Jans new deal.

Mississippi State softball is back in the postseason. Dan gives us a deep dive into the Stanford regional and State's chances. But first we look at basketball portal news and a major move within the athletic department. And of course, we take a look at baseball's regular season finale (while it's happening).

We're back. We tackle the news of the week and then look at softball's tournament draw. Then we dive into the series at Arkansas where State let yet another golden opportunity slip away.
