A Super Talk Mississippi Media Production.

This is a Thunder and Lightning Extra here at supertalk.fm.

I'm Brian Hayden, and I'm very pleased to be joined by one of my favorite guys to interview here on the podcast.

For Mississippi State quarterback, Nick Fitzgerald.

Nick, been too long since we've talked.

How you doing down there, man? Man, I am doing great, and your right has been too long, man. It's always a good time to come on here and chat. Well, I hit you up the other day because I wanted to talk about the 2017 LSU game, and I thought you had an interesting response.
