On Thursday, Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach will participate in an hour-long interview with host Neil Price from 7-8 p.m. at the Greater Starkville Development Partnership office on Main Street in Starkville. Because of safety protocols due to the pandemic, fans cannot attend in person, but the interview will be broadcast through the downtown speaker system, meaning spectators can listen while outside or while eating outdoors at downtown dining options.
