Mississippi State SEC Media Day Tweet Recap

MSU's day with the SEC media started off with a bang with coach Dan Mullen announcing he would be wearing special edition Kanye West signature shoes, also known as "Yeezy's." This caused the collective SEC internet to lose its mind:

One reporter, who seems confused over @CoachDanMullen's new kicks, just asked me "Are those orthopedic shoes? Does Mullen have bad feet?"

Dan Mullen: They want to get back to playing in a championship-level game. pic.twitter.com/5jnY2HNW3p

— Alex Scarborough (@AlexS_ESPN) July 14, 2015

Mullen says he's glad to be back because it's hard to keep coming back in the SEC sometimes.

— loganlowery (@loganlowery) July 14, 2015

Mullen: "I think the SEC West will be as competitive as ever."

— Ben Wait (@bcwait) July 14, 2015

Mullen says he likes that people think State is a young football team. Cites more than 50 guys with significant game experience.

— Joel Coleman (@JoelTColeman) July 14, 2015

First question for Dan is about last year's Alabama game. Yes, we're in Hoover...

— David H Murray (@DawgsBiteMag) July 14, 2015

Coming this fall: can this reunited couple keep the fire alive the 2nd time 'round? Dan N Diaz, Tues. 8 p.m. ABC https://t.co/anwk68YGlb

First MSU specific question of the day is on senior corner Will Redmond. Mullen says he "was right in the middle of all" key moments in 2015

— Bob Carskadon (@bobcarskadon) July 14, 2015

Mullen points out that Redmond isn't considered a returning starter but was on the field at crucial moments last year.

— loganlowery (@loganlowery) July 14, 2015

Dan Mullen said he keeps files on defensive coordinators back to 1999

— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) July 14, 2015

Mullen says always losing a bowl game hurts, but said the Alabama game will be the biggest fuel for his team this fall.

— Ben Wait (@bcwait) July 14, 2015

Mullen says home field advantage has been a big deal in the Egg Bowl the last four seasons or so. MSU host Ole Miss this year.

— Ben Wait (@bcwait) July 14, 2015

Things were going pretty normally, then all hell broke loose when coach Mullen was asked about his shoes:

Mullen on his Yeezys: "I try to be swagged up. I've also got some sock game going."

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) July 14, 2015

Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen is wearing adidas running shoes w/ his suit: "I try to be a little swagger up."

— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) July 14, 2015

Dan Mullen: "I try to get my swag on. …I have custom-made adidas shoes." My God I love this man, but not more than he loves himself.

— Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) July 14, 2015

Dan Mullen on his Yeezy's: "I try to be swagged up. I have a little sock game going too. I like to wear the cool shoes."

— Dr. Saturday (@YahooDrSaturday) July 14, 2015

Dan Mullen is winning Media Days, isn't he?

— Brandon Walker (@BWonStateBeat) July 14, 2015

DAN MULLEN ACTUALLY SAID "I TRY TO BE SWAGGED UP." JUST GIVE US THE PLAYOFF TROPHY NOW.

— FWtCT (@mstatesports) July 14, 2015

Dan also took time to emphasize how MSU is a perpetual underdog:

Dan Mullen: "I’ve been here 7 years, we’re picked to finish last (in SEC West) every year. I guess it’s a tradition"

— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) July 14, 2015

Mullen not bothered by projections. "This is my seventh year coming here and we've been picked around last every year. It's a tradition."

— Bob Carskadon (@bobcarskadon) July 14, 2015

Mullen says that Prescott wants to finish his career with a championship.

— loganlowery (@loganlowery) July 14, 2015

Mullen: "If I look at the schedule, I think we're going 15-0."

— Bob Carskadon (@bobcarskadon) July 14, 2015

Mullen says he never looks at the schedule and says, "I'm definitely going to lose that game."

— Ben Wait (@bcwait) July 14, 2015

Then everyone's favorite MSU beat writer Michael Bonner asked what Dan thinks about the debate over the confederate flag in the state of Mississippi:

Mullen on MS flag: "We're the most diverse campus in the SEC...I hope as a university, we're in the forefront trying to make things better."

— Bob Carskadon (@bobcarskadon) July 14, 2015

Dan Mullen on Miss. State’s diversity: "We’re so diverse they have a Yankee for a head football coach in the SEC"

— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) July 14, 2015

Dan Mullen asked for his opinion about the state flag. Never really said what he thinks, basically repeated MSU's statement.

— Hugh Kellenberger (@HKellenbergerCL) July 14, 2015

And finally, because SEC Media Days is in Hoover, AL, someone asked coach Mullen a final question about Lane Kiffin. LANE KIFFIN.

Mullen is asked a question about Lane Kiffin and I'm not sure why.

— loganlowery (@loganlowery) July 14, 2015

And coach Mullen's time at the podium is up and the last question he answered was about Lane Kiffin. Dammit, Alabama.

— FWtCT (@mstatesports) July 14, 2015

In addition to coach Mullen, Dak Prescott, Taveze Calhoun, and Ryan Brown spoke and were interviewed at media day:
