Honest question... What's Wyatt's employee (for lack of a better word) status with MSU? Is he a university employee who's doing these videos on the side or do we "hire" him as a contract employee to broadcast games?

Believe he is an employee of Learfield

To broadcast our games, and not an employee of MSU..........

Gotcha. Maybe it's just me and I have a bad taste in my mouth after he fell all over himself to carry Hugh Freeze's water but I really struggle with some of these videos he does. It's one thing to break down State's performance after games (I actually really enjoy those) but I have a hard time with the one's where he's pimping rival teams and/or their players. And now he's doing a video on someone associated with OM baseball?

I guess my view is if you're going to be a State guy, be a State guy and let other teams promote themselves. If you want to be an independent journalist, be an independent journalist.

I think he's trying to feed his family and this is something he can make money doing. He's a state guy through and through. I never question his loyalty at the end of the day.

If you notice - he has been dabbing in a lot of different video presentations from vlogs to now a documentary.

My view is if you are going to make a living, do it anyway you want and don't worry about what someone rapped up in a petty rivalry thinks.

I get the trying to feed his family bit and I never begrudge anyone with a side hustle. I just have a hard time with the notion that the university is paying him (even if indirectly) to be a part of its broadcast team and he's turning around and promoting rival schools and players. Correct me I'm wrong but I don't think you'd see a broadcast guy at any other SEC school doing a video series breaking down every one of Keytaon Thompson's pass attempts.

I'm sure he's a great guy and all but after his serving as a ventriloquist's dummy for Hugh Freeze, I think it's fair ask questions about his loyalty.

Some of you people never cease to amaze me with your obsession with Ole Miss.

Why is it that Mississippi State guys have this obsession with being "objective", while Bama, om, Auburn, LSU, etc. announcers can be absolute homers?

Because Ole Miss is the reason Mississippi is 50th in the nation in everything. It's Ole Miss lawyers that sue businesses out of this State. It's ole Miss politicians that make it impossible for Mississippi to have a sustainable middle class.

The best and brightest have to leave Mississippi, because Ole Miss wants only people as talentless and stupid as they are in this State.

That's good stuff. And I'll echo something that Jim and John basically said. Rosenblatt > Ameritrade.

Wyatt is 💯 bulldog and good at what he does.
I’d rather have Wyatt than someone like Godfrey.

I loved Rosenblatt but TD Ameritrade Park is awesome. Many aspects of the new Dudy Noble are modeled after TDA. I don’t love that it’s not a very home run friendly park, but it’s super nice and in a great downtown location.
