Best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

a guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so, for that one change me a little.

Hey y'all, I'm Bud Elliott and this is Cover 3 College Football Summer School.

We've done our research on the teams and now are bringing on the top team experts from the 24 7 sports network to help us fill in the blanks.

Please follow us on Twitter at Cover 3 Podcast. That's Cover 3 Podcast and leave us a five star review on Apple and Spotify.

Alright, class is in session.

Hey guys, Bud Elliott here of the Cover 3 Collegeball Podcast. We appreciate you joining us and this is another edition of our summer school series where we take my notes and we ask an expert from the 24 7 sports network about where we're right,

we're wrong what we're expecting about these teams and today we're going to talk a little Mississippi State Bulldogs had another strong year under Mike Leach and to help us out.

We're going to bring on Robbie Fock of Mississippi State 24 7 sports. Robbie welcome to the show man.

Nice to have me, Bud. Good to be here.

Pretty good mood and stark for a lot. I would think coming off the year they had and all they bring back this year.

You would think so but it's kind of a apathy. Is that the word? I mean, oh man.

I know is it strange. I mean, at a place like Mississippi State where people have kind of grown accustomed to, if you can get to a ball game, you can beat Ole Miss.

You're in good shape. When the problem is they're not beating Ole Miss, they are getting to the ball games, but it's kind of, you know, by default. I mean, everybody's getting to the ball game now.

And just the way that the season ended last year, I think left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.

You can't kind of a strong close until you get to the egg bowl. So rainy night and start ball. You drop a couple of touchdowns and you end up losing that ball game with a chance to go to significantly better ball.

If you win and then you go and you play Texas Tech and Memphis and you just fall flat on your face.

You had a lot of guys out with COVID. You had Charles Croson Martin Emerson sitting out for the NFL draft and it was just not a good performance.

I think just those last two ball games really put a bad taste in the mouths of fans. When in reality it was a big step forward.
