State, Ole Miss and Southern Miss are off to amazing starts in the young college baseball season. So much to discuss, including the Golden Eagles' impressive seep through the prestigious Round Rock Classic.
Pittsboro, Mississippi was the site. It was nowhere near neutral, as was evident when the proceedings began with a prayer asking for an one-year extension for Trinidad Chambliss, the Ole Miss quarterback. The prayer was answered. The Clevelands also talk about the opening weekend of college baseball season, the Winter Olympics and a whole lot more.
It's time to talk about what Mississippians do best, which is play and support college baseball. Mississippi State is a consensus top 5 team. Southern Miss is consistently a top 25 team and Rick says Ole Miss is underrated.
Rick Cleveland has watched all the 59 previous Super Bowls, 30 in person – always in pursuit of all the Mississippi angles. His memories are many.
They don't play Super Bowls without a Mississippi angle and this year's will be no different. Seattle left tackle Charles Cross of Laurel and Mississippi State leads a list of several Mississippians who are part of the Seahawks and New England Patriots. The Clevelands also talk college basketball, college baseball and Scottie Scheffler.
The Clevelands break in a new studio with commentary on the national championship game, Ole Miss' highest final national ranking in 63 years, Trinidad Chambliss, SEC Basketball, the coming baseball season and reigning NCAA golf champion Michael La Sasso joining the LIV golf tour.
Recorded the morning after the game, with Rick in Scottsdale and Tyler in studio, the Clevelands dissect what happened to end the most eventful season in Ole Miss football history.
It's only the biggest football game in Mississippi history: Miami vs. Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl. Miami is favored, but should it be? The Clevelands discuss that – and a lot more.
The question on everyone's mind: Does Ole Miss have a shot against mighty Georgia. The answer: Of course they do, but the Rebels will have to play their best game and hope Georgia doesn't. The Cleveland boys also discuss the New Orleans and Duke's Mayo bowls and the resurgent New Orleans Saints.
We talk Tulane-Ole Miss, the Blake Anderson hire at Southern Miss, Coach Larry Ladner's legacy in Mississippi basketball, and the New Orleans Saints and their new franchise quarterback.
It may or may not be the biggest sporting event in Mississippi history, but we know for certain Ole Miss is hosting Tulane and you can sell your car and rent a room in Oxford. The Clevelands also discuss USM coaching vacancy, the high school championships and a whole lot more.
Egg Bowl reduxe, Kiffin leaving, Golding elevated, SWAC Championship, state high school football championships, Southern Miss review, SEC Championship, FBS playoffs.
The stage is set for another classic Egg Bowl, but the stakes have been raised substantially for both Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Cleveland boys discuss scenarios for the game and the future of Ole Miss football should Lane Kiffin leave for Baton Rouge.
The Clevelands discuss the Lane Kiffin situation, Southern Miss's crash to earth and how an underappreciated kid from the southwest Mississippi community of Oma has entered the national college football spotlight with a 300-yard rushing performance against Mississippi State.
Rick calls in from New York to discuss all the latest in Mississippi football, including the sixth-ranked Rebels claiming their latest victim, the Golden Eagles' improbable run and Delta State's opponents simply chickening out. Also, the Cleveland boys run down the 2025 Mr. Football winners and the first round of tge high school playoffs
Nobody knows more about today's college football landscape than Ross Dellenger and he has plenty to talk about these days, including the stunning in-season coaching changes happening all over the country.
There's so much going on in the sports world, including an epic World Series, a memorable Mississippi college football season, an incredible turn-around at Lanier High School and so much more. All that and the Clevelands, in a generational argument, disagreeing on Shohei vs. the Babe.
That was the situation facing Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby Saturday at Florida. Lebby chose to run another play and Florida intercepted a pass to sew up a two-point victory. The Clevelands discuss the pros and cons of the strategy – and a whole lot more college football, high school football, the Saints and college golf.
We've got a huge week in Mississippi sports coming up. Ole Miss, State and Southern Miss all have huge conference football games and the three schools are hosting a huge college tournament at Fallen Oak on the coast this weekend and Monday.
The Clevelands discuss last weekend and the one coming up, including what appeared to be a routine quarterback sack by the Saints' Carl Granderson of the Giants' Jaxson Dart that was somehow called roughing the passer. The Saints, believe it or not, won anyway. Also, the conversation turns to what might have been the last Sanderson Farms Championship and the upcoming weekend in college football.
