Yes, great podcast. Worth listening to for sure. Brandon does a great job.
"We church out NFL players, they churn our high school assistant coaches."
"If you want to make money as a professional football player in the NFL go to Mississippi State. If you want to make money in college go to Ole Miss."
FWIW, Brandon has a 122K followers not on twitter. For comparison, Barrett Sallee only has 90K.
MSU has a real voice now & that's awesome
Brandon's stat
Ole Miss has had 62 4 & 5 stars the last 10 years & has 23 drafts picks. LOL.
Worst developmental program in America
This is probably the best attitude to have on it. You done messed up but enjoy yourself.
With that said..... and listening to all the sports podcast take on it..... the one question that still remains and yet hasn't really been asked. Where was Jones State teammates in all this? Are some State guys working out and he wasn't invited? Surely Jones had State teammates in the jackson area to workout with. Also I heard Leach imply he had almost daily zoom meetings in an interview recently. So it wasn't like our coaches fell off the earth.
I don't have any idea whether or not D1 in Madison is pushing kids to Ole Miss. I really don't.
However, the optics of that place would be significantly better if there was an ex-MSU player on staff as well.
I'm not sure if there are any ex MSU players living in that area, but hiring one sure would take the bulls eye off that place & improve the optics so they didn't get blamed every time something goofy like this happens.
Would just seem like a good business move unless their sole purpose is to push metro kids to OM
You can subscribe to the More Cowbell podcast at Apple Podcast. I'm hoping he starts putting out more.
I'm curious how Barstool views that.
I'm not sure how excited Barstool would be with Brandon putting out a personal podcast, that he could make some money on, while under contract with Barstool. Would seem like there would be a non-compete, particularly while under contract.
Like him or not, Brandon Walker being a national media personality is a good thing for us.
I love his shows. He's knowledgeable about what he's talking about, which can't be said for some in the business.
No problem. I only noticed the players that I follow on social media. I think a lot of them have been getting private coaching somewhere. Coincidentally the D1 MSU guys came out with videos very recently.**
I don't know Mike Espy that well but we are about the same age and I know people that do. Let me just say I would be much more surprised if he was on the up and up. His whole family has a history of corruption.
Anthony Dixon works out at the Baptist Sports Healthplex a mile or less from D1 all the time. You're right that they need to hire someone from MSU to change their optics. Heck- Paul Lacoste's headquarters are in Madison on Old Canton Rd if I'm not mistaken.
There are plenty of MSU people in Madison- maybe more than Ole Miss. But the problem has always been that MSU has never had any boosters there that were willing to play dirty for whatever reason. That and Ole Miss seems to have an obsession with Madison Central football players.
