Q: What are some things that Arkansas fans who are traveling to the game can expect? Where are some must see places when traveling to Starkville?

A: The Cotton District in Starkville is neat strip just off campus on University Drive with some unique architecture, great food, and some of the town's go-to bars. That area is just a short walk from the stadium.

Two Brothers Smoked Meats, in the heart of the Cotton District, is the best recommendation I can give, but I can assure you it and the rest of that strip will be absolutely packed after the game. Dave's Dark Horse Tavern is more of a laid back spot with outstanding food a bit further away off of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

Q: Who are some Mississippi State players Arkansas fans need to know before the game?

A: We've already talked about Van Buren, so offensively I have to hit on Kevin Coleman. He's fourth in the SEC in receiving with 536 yards and 4 TDs. He's an explosive slot WR that State will both look to scheme up easy touches for but also take vertical shots to. He'll likely be the go-to target.

On defense, safety Isaac Smith has been the lone consistent bright-spot on that side of the ball. He leads the SEC with over 11 tackles per game and has been really good coming up in run support, which will obviously be important against Arkansas. If I were calling the Bulldog defense, I'd have him as my primary spy on Taylen Green.
