A Super Talk, Mississippi Media Production.

You can wrap this one, my friend, in Maroon and White.

10 seconds, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, four, three, two, one.

Bingoes.

You're listening to Thunder and Lightning on Super Talk, Mississippi.

Covering Mississippi State Sports Sports like nobody else.

Nobody on Super Talk has a better intro.

Just want to point that out. It's just not possible. It just isn't possible. It's a Thunder and Lightning Live. Super Talk, Mississippi. You're watching at Super Talk TV. You might be listening on the Super Talk app or at supertalk.fm. A lot of great places to find us. And we appreciate you tuning in wherever you are, especially if you're in Tupelo tonight. We really appreciate you guys out there. I'm Brian Haydad. Rhino in Studio X. Handling the business for me. Everything that goes good on this show is his fault. If there's a mistake, you put it on me. That's how we run things. I know people don't like Joe Morehead, but on this show, we follow his rule. We point the thumb, not the finger. We've got a lot to talk about tonight. Richard Williams is going to join us in about 13 minutes to talk with some MSU basketball because that team is a lot better than we all thought it would be. And if you're at home right now and you're like, no, Brian, I thought they'd be great.

Stop lying. It is Christmas time. Santa is listening. Don't go on the naughty list. Just accept the happiness that is MSU basketball right now. But we will start with football. We'll talk about MSU's bowl game a little later. but we got to start in the transfer portal because that's where all the news really is right now.

Some big changes possibly coming Mississippi State's way via that portal.

Now, obviously, let's look at some big picture about this first.

We've got to get out of the mindset of, oh, I love that guy.

I love that player.

That's a dangerous mindset now in the day of the transfer portal.

You need to just worry about the helmet.

You need to worry about the name on the front of the jersey, not the back.

That's how college sports are going to kind of have to work going forward.

So, if you get a player who's like in his fourth year, his fifth year, you guys want to level on Jet Johnson tonight or Boogie Watson, feel free.

Feel free.

Young promising freshman, maybe wait.

Don't get that jersey just yet for Christmas.

So let's look at who we think's in and who we think is out.
