Very few people have ever admitted they had a great weekend in Starkville, Mississippi. That is not true for the KSR crew — because we’ve never left the place with a loss.

Traveling down a few days early to beat the snowstorm, Steven Peake and I had plenty of time to kill. We stopped in Thursday evening for Mellow Mushroom trivia in Decatur (an overwhelming victory for the good guys, in case you were curious) before getting to Starkville at midnight. That led to a goofy campus tour on Friday, which can be found on our KSR YouTube channel, followed by some College Football Playoff action at the local watering hole that night — MSU coach Chris Jans also stopping in for a glass of wine while we were there.

From there, it was time for game day, talking with students camping out at Humphrey Coliseum for the anticipated matchup, followed by the heavyweight battle that night. You know the rest of the story, Kentucky taking down Mississippi State in a 95-90 victory, led by Jaxson Robinson with a career night. The Hump was rocking, but the Cats were able to overcome a truckload of adversity to pull off the win.

It was an all-time celebration and KSR was right there to capture it all, Peake absolutely CRUSHING it with behind-the-scenes access you won’t see anywhere else. If there is one thing you watch until tip-off vs. Texas A&M on Tuesday, make sure it’s the next edition of our KSR Roadtrip series.

Come for the game highlights and fan interactions, stay for the trivia and Hootie & The Blowfish singalong:

While you’re at it, check out our other MSU campus tour, which featured the craziest book selection you’ll ever see and what we thought was a near-death experience at our hotel:
