| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the hump day edition of the yard. Another day closer to college football. |
| 0:11.3 | Another day closer to you guys being back in town for another home game. Non-conference affair against Bowling Green State University, also known as Bowling Green, or affectionately known as BG, they'll be here. I don't know if it's going to be any bling, bling or not. Some of you will understand the reference. All that said, it's a big weekend. We're back together. Chance to get back on the winning side of things. Mississippi State fully expected to be three and one after this weekend. |
| 0:40.8 | I will share with you a couple things before we get started. |
| 0:44.3 | You know, my goals for Mississippi State, and of course, you know, my goals and 50 cents |
| 0:48.6 | to get you a cup of coffee at the Delo truck stop. |
| 0:50.7 | But I don't want to be in a situation where we're just competing to be in a bowl game. |
| 1:00.1 | Right? There was a time in my life. Then that was enough. You know, I grew up. I'm from 1900s. |
| 1:08.5 | And so, you know, we had a stretch there for a while that we didn't get to go to a ballgame very often. |
| 1:13.7 | And so it was a huge deal for us to make a bowl game. |
| 1:16.7 | Well, with so many ball games these days and some smart scheduling, you know, we have been to bowl games very regularly. |
| 1:24.6 | And so I think it's important to understand that it is okay for us to expect more |
| 1:28.9 | than simply making a bowl game. Now, any season that we don't is a complete failure. But there are |
| 1:37.2 | other seasons that, you know, perhaps we could and should do better than we do. Of course, we've |
| 1:42.5 | been to a ball game every year since 2010. |
| 1:44.6 | But going back a little bit, taking a little look at history here, |
| 1:49.3 | you know, in 1963, we won the Liberty Bowl in Philadelphia, Mississippi, |
| 1:55.6 | excuse me, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. |
| 1:57.2 | They've been in Philadelphia, Mississippi. |
| 1:59.1 | They probably wouldn't have been as well attended. |
| 2:00.6 | But a freezing cold game. |
| 2:02.9 | I've interviewed Bill McGuire about the game before. |
| 2:04.9 | Bill was in one of my books. |
