Hail & Hotty!

After a devastating loss in Gainesville that took Ole Miss out of playoff contention, the Rebels prepare to meet in-state rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. The 2-9 Bulldogs will look to capitalize. Blake Levine and Parrish Alford discuss what the game means for both programs and Alford's new book.

In this episode, Blake Levine and Parrish Alford discuss the recent decision by Mississippi College to end its football program, Ole Miss' playoff chances, the Conerly Trophy, and the success of Jackson State following Deion Sanders' departure. 

In this episode, Blake Levine and Parrish Alford discuss Ole Miss's significant victory over Georgia, highlighting the team's expectations, defensive performance, and quarterback play.

The conversation emphasizes the shifting dynamics in college football and the implications for both Ole Miss and Mississippi State moving forward.

Expect an electric atmosphere in Oxford on Saturday when the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs head to town. Win, and Ole Miss' hopes remain alive for the 12-team playoff. Lose, and those hopes are dashed. Meanwhile, in Starkville and Hattiesburg, the programs are struggling to find consistency and identity. What can they do to improve?

Throw the records out when Ole Miss squares up against Arkansas and prepare for heart palpitations. Meanwhile, things have turned U-G-L-Y for Mississippi State and Southern...and the Deion Sanders' hype train is back on track. 

Parrish and Blake make the bold prediction that 1-6 Mississippi State will win their first SEC game of the year against the Razorbacks of Arkansas and discuss whether Oklahoma has the cure for what ails the Rebels' sputtering offense. With a little bit of lagniappe, the dynamic duo address the head coaching change made at Southern Miss. 

Blake and Parrish discuss the Rebels' playoff hopes after the devastating loss to LSU in the bayou, the problems up front, and how Lane Kiffin can get his groove back in Oxford. Kirby Smart got a little aggressive with MSU signal caller Michael Van Buren, but the freshman is handling the pressure as the Bulldogs prepare for Texas A&M. 

Olle Miss-LSU has national implications. A win and the Rebels remain alive for a potential playoff berth, but has the offense become one dimensional? Mississippi State faces off against a Georgia team hungry to re-establish dominance. Can State's freshman quarterback shock the world, again?

After a disappointing loss to Kentucky in the SEC opener, there's no margin for error for the Rebels moving forward. Rebels' reset requires "road warrior mentality" if they want to remain attractive to the College Football Playoff committee.

State gets a week off before facing a Georgia team that got stung by Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Plus, what Group of Five teams have stood out?  

SEC play and the first real test finally arrives for the Rebels as the Kentucky Wildcats come to town. Meanwhile, over in Starkville, Jeff Lebby faces a huge mid-season challenge in his first year as a head coach.
