Each week, I’ll be taking a coach to the bar. Not literally, although that would be way more cool. Whether they had a great game, a terrible game, or I just want to hang out with that coach for no real reason. Basically there is no metric here, I just get to choose, so deal with it.

This week’s bar buddy: Dan Mullen

Coach Mullen and the Bulldogs had a huge weekend taking down LSU in Death Valley. Amidst a huge win, Dak Prescott shined, but the main story ended up being the play of Dillon Day. Coach seems to think Mississippi State is being disrespected and some people are ignorant for their opinions regarding Day.

MD: “Coach, congrats, that’s a great win.”

DM: “Thanks. I knew we would always win the SEC West.”

MD: “I think there are still a few games left to be played.”

DM: “Yeah, I guess, but that was easily the biggest game in college football history, so might as well give us the ring now.”

MD: “Coach, I think you need to reign it in a bit. Speaking of reigning it is, Dillon Day, what is the deal there?”

DM: “Completely incidental, no ill intent there whatsoever.”

MD: “I dunno, coach. Once maybe, but twice? By the same player? The same guy who received a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty later in the game? Seems a little suspect.”

DM: “You’re suspect. No one in this town works without a retainer.”

MD: “Did you just reference Good Will Hunting? How is that even a little relevant?”

DM: “I just like that movie, I watched it the other night.”

MD: “Okay, but, can we address the actual question?”

DM: “Anyone who thinks this could be intentional is ignorant.”

MD: “Wait, what? That makes no sense at all. The video clearly shows what happened, so, I think it’s normal for some people to draw that conclusion.”

DM: “It’s all media bias. No one wants to see Mississippi State on top.”

MD: “I think it’s actually interesting that you all are a contender. I don’t think I’m alone in this. I mean, Dak Prescott, he’s pretty good, some say a legit Heisman contender. I think the Bulldogs could do it this year.”

DM: “You want a beer or not? I’ve been buying the bar rounds for about an hour now celebrating this championship, you can miss out on your opportunity if you don’t come around.”

MD: “I mean, sure, I’ll have a beer, but what do you mean come around?”

DM: “Say you think people are ignorant and don’t know anything about football if they say Day could have meant to stomp on people.”

MD: “No.”

DM: “Get out.”

MD: “Coach, this seems unnecessary.”

DM: “Take it back or get out.”

MD: “I guess I’ll leave.”

DM: “Hail State!”

MD: “Coach.”

DM: “Hail State!”
