Missouri State Madness: Bowls, Portals & Hoops Momentum
A December Update with Corey Riggs, the Voice of the Bears
Missouri State fans are in for a wild postseason ride. Corey Riggs, the Voice of the Bears, joined The Starting Lineup for a can’t-miss breakdown of what’s shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable Decembers in recent MSU history.
LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE:
With bowl games across the country scrambling to fill spots thanks to widespread team opt-outs, the Bears found themselves landing an unexpected postseason opportunity. Corey sheds light on how MSU earned its place in the mix, why 5–7 teams are suddenly in play nationwide, and how unconventional bowl selections (including headline-grabbers like the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl) are reshaping the financial and competitive landscape of college football.
But there’s more to the chaos than bowl bids. The transfer portal is buzzing, and Corey dives into how recent declarations could impact the Bears’ roster when they take the field. On the hardwood, he breaks down the men’s basketball team’s recent stretch, the wins, the challenges, and the heated upcoming showdown with Xavier that already has fans talking.
And in true Corey style, he also brings the fun. Listeners get an inside look at the unique experiences awaiting MSU players during bowl week, from inter-squad contests to community outreach events, the moments that make postseason trips unforgettable.
Missouri State athletics are on the move this winter, and if this episode is any indication, the next few weeks promise plenty of surprises, energy, and storylines worth following closely.
