{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Big Boo Cast, Episode 498","description":"This week Melanie and I discuss my trip to Athens, Georgia (it was the best of times, it was the worst of times) and the end of Mississippi State's 2026 baseball season. We also cover some related topics: how we feel about baseball fields that lack dirt and grass, my appeal to the University of Georgia to install some cup holders, my friend Tracey's idea for a new cheer for our Bulldogs, and the fact that I'm in a fight with the NCAA.\n\nOn top of all that, Melanie loops us in on life in San Antonio, and it's her turn for Five Favorites.\n\nHope you enjoy!\n\nJoin Us on Patreon (http://patreon.com/bigboo)\nOur Amazon Shop (http://amazon.com/shop/bigboo)\n Big Boo Dallas (11/5) tickets - still a few left!
