David Bowies funky George Orwell-fortolkning "1984" markerer et før og et efter i radioværten Alex Nyborg Madsens liv. Den gav ham oplevelsen af, at musik ikke kun er underholdning, men også kan få én til at tænke og reflektere. Måske var det endda nummeret, der sørgede for, at Alex endte bag en radiomikrofon og ikke som autoforhandler i dueblåt jakkesæt. Varighed: 5:30

With the season over, Brett and Matt take a look back at the legacy of the 2019 team, and peek ahead to 2020.

Vandy used a strong start from Kumar Rocker to grab a 6-3 win over Mississippi State, sending the Bulldogs into an elimination contest with Louisville. In this episode of Dogpile, Brett and Matt talk about the loss, and what's next for State.

There was nothing to talk about in Omaha on Tuesday, because rain eliminated just about all of play at the CWS. State's game with Vanderbilt is pushed back a day, so Brett entertained Twitter questions. They're not all about baseball...

Brett is joined by Adam Sparks of The Tennessean to get a closer look at Mississippi State's next opponent at the 2019 College World Series: Vanderbilt.

Four runs in the 9th inning... OF COURSE that's how this Mississippi State team found a way to advance past Auburn in round-1 of the College World Series.

Brett Hudson talks with Auburn beat writer Sam Blum, previewing the Bulldogs vs Tigers in round-1 of the College World Series.

Brett Hudson takes a look at the field in this CWS preview edition of DOGPILE

State is in Omaha, and had their first practice at TD Ameritrade Park on Friday. Brett Hudson is there and caught up with Jack Eagan, and Ethan Small in the Bulldog locker room.

Mississippi State punched its ticket to the College World Series with a dominating performance on the mound from Peyton Plumlee, and some late insurance from "Big Hit Mac".

Brett and Matt discuss State's next opponent, the Stanford Cardinal, and Brett catches up with Colby White for a 1-on-1 interview.

Hear from the head coaches of Miami, Central Michigan, and Southern as they prepare to begin play in the Starkville regional.

Brett Hudson was at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium until past 3:00 a.m. covering State's marathon win over LSU, but he still had the juice to join Matt on his radio show the following morning.

State swept Ole Miss in Oxford for the second consecutive trip, and is the third straight sweep in the series overall (including in Starkville in 2018).

Wad it up, throw it away, and move on: that's pretty much the takeaway from State's trip to Arkansas. Brett Hudson takes a look ahead at the annual matchup with Ole Miss in the Governor's Cup.

Starting with a Thursday night matchup on national television, State takes on Arkansas on the road. Brett and Matt discuss the midweek, close game that resulted in a win, plus a brief look at the Razorbacks.

Peyton Plumlee has impressed, and one could see a scenario where he challenges for the Sunday starting role... but is the plan to have him - the team's third best pitcher - on the mound for the important mid-week games, like the upcoming matchup with ECU? Brett and Matt discuss that and more on this week's DOGPILE.

Opening week brought its share of festivities - Thunder & Lightning statues, Ron Polk Ring of Honor - and it also brought its share of fireworks as State outscored its opponents 39-7 during their 4-0 start. State pitching struck out 43 batters against Youngstown State, while walking just 5 in the three-game series. A close one with UAB (3-2, win) in the midweek might be what Mississippi State needed with Southern Miss coming to town for a weekend series.

Spencer Price figured to play a significant role on last year's team, but an arm injury which lead to surgery cut that short. Price returns to the mound in 2019 and is ready to go.
