Hey, oh, welcome in the latest episode of that SEC podcast.

I'm your host, Hale State, Mike.

And there's old Bulldog Shane, so you know what that means?

Shane.

I need more cowbell, baby.

Yes, we're going to talk to Mississippi State.

We've been high on the Bulldog, Shane, here lately.

Maybe not all off-season, but here lately we have been.

And the Mississippi State fans have been made it very,

very aware to me, Shane, that we have not done Mississippi State the last couple of years.

So I figured, hey, they deserve it. They stick around thick and thin. So we're going to give

them a Mississippi State preview, and we're going to be pretty optimistic here when we pick your season. You know what?

Hell yeah. I even wore my old miss shirt just for them, you know.

As we talk about the Egg Bowl chance, man. Yes, I'm absolutely looking forward to this one,

you know, because, you know, we're starting to get some callbacks.

A lot of people don't know.

So media days, we're trying to line up conversations with the coaches and the players. And we're starting to see some of these teams reach out. And I'm like, you know, I'd like to have a little more information on Mississippi State. So I'm glad we're doing that today, Mike. And before we get started, I know old miss fans are like, how am I going to get through this?

You know how you get through this one with a bottle of Tennessee Legend Distillery? That's right. Before you do anything in the Smoky Mountains, be sure you stop off and see our family over here at TLD. Not only you're going to get a discount, but you will also get a bonus gift when you mentioned the show. And they got all kinds of good stuff. They got sampling. They got tases. They got trinkets you can take back to your family, even the ones you don't really like that much, but you had to get them something because they got you something on their vacation. That's exactly what you can do at Tennessee Legend Distillery.

Just again, remind them that you are a fan of that SEC podcast.

Yeah, they welcome all cousins down there, no matter what team you sport.

You know what?

Am I getting better with the radio voice?
