Mississippi State and Ole Miss both took tough losses last weekend.

On this episode, Logan looks back at MSU’s loss to No. 1 Alabama (6:14). Some calls did not go the Bulldogs’ way, and the SEC reviewed some of them. As for Ole Miss, it lost to Texas A&M, but Parrish says the Rebels are still playing hard for coach Matt Luke (10:17).

Up next for MSU is Arkansas, which is winless in SEC play but has played folks tough (17:44). Ole Miss visits Vanderbilt (21:13), a team that is vulnerable against the run.

The guys also look at bowl projections for MSU (1:44) – the Outback Bowl, perhaps? – and they do a quick hit on basketball (24:40).

#123: Basketball season arrives; football teams hit road – 11/08/18

November 8, 2018 by Brad Locke Leave a Comment

Basketball is here!

The Ole Miss and MSU teams hit the court this week. On this episode, Logan previews the MSU men’s Friday opener against Austin Peay (2:17). Good news for the Bulldogs: Quinndary Weatherspoon will be back from injury.

As for the women, they won their opener against Southeast Missouri State thanks to a huge game by Teaira McCowan (4:59). Up next is Virginia, and good news for the Bulldogs: UConn transfer Andra Espinoza-Hunter has been cleared by the NCAA to play and will be available for this game.

The Kermit Davis era begins at Ole Miss on Saturday (9:02), when the Rebels host Western Michigan. The women got going earlier this week, beating Norfolk State to tip off the Yolett McPhee-McCuin era (7:00).

On the football field, State makes the trek to Tuscaloosa to take on No. 1 Alabama (12:02). Pulling off the upset is a long shot, but the Bulldogs’ defense could keep them in the game a while to at least make it seem possible.

Ole Miss is also on the road, taking on Texas A&M (18:19). The Rebels are trying to shake off last week’s loss to South Carolina, when they blew a fourth-quarter lead at home.

#122: MSU hoopsters ranked; Rebels back on football field – 11/01/18

November 1, 2018 by Brad Locke Leave a Comment

Basketball season is drawing near, and so Parrish and Logan take a look at the Mississippi State and Ole Miss teams on this episode.

The MSU men enter this season ranked No. 18 in the country (1:50), and for good reason. All five starters return, including Quinndary Weatherspoon. The women will start the season at No. 6 (5:38), although it has four starters to replace from last year’s national finalist squad.

As for Ole Miss, there are a lot of fresh faces. The women have a new coach and several new players (7:12), and the men also have a new coach in Kermit Davis (10:46). The former Middle Tennessee State coach has a bit of a rebuilding job on his hands, although he has three strong guards around which to build.

On the football field, Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs rolled over Texas A&M last week (16:31) as the offense shook itself out of a slump. Up next is a home game against Louisiana Tech, a tough non-SEC opponent.

After a week off, Ole Miss is back in action when it hosts South Carolina (20:19). The Rebels will need a big day from the offense and need to be better in the red zone.
