WATCH: Michigan State tight ends review quarterbacks’ Spotify playlist in the Battle of the Aux

The Battle of the Aux rages on.

The Battle of the Aux rages on within the (virtual) walls of Michigan State football.

Last week (and for a primer on what the hell I’m writing about) the offensive and defensive lines–dubbed “Juice Squad” and “A.W.O.L” (Animals Without a Leash) respectively–battled it out by putting together Spotify playlists to represent the position groups. Then they reviewed each others’ playlists and fans were able to vote on the winner. The defensive line won that first matchup going away.

This week the battle rages on with the “Gunslingers” going up against “The Arsenal.” Gunslingers are of course the QBs and The Arsenal is the tight end group. (I’m quite enjoying that each position group at MSU has its own nickname.)

Today the tight ends reviewed the QBs’ playlist and overall had pretty positive remarks.

A fan poll will be posted on Friday and that will decide which position group will take the win.

WATCH: Michigan State offensive line reviews defensive line’s Spotify playlist in the Battle of the Aux

Fans can vote on which position group put together the best Spotify playlist.

Michigan State is doing a lot to stimulate fan engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently competing position groups are battling it out musically in what has been dubbed “The Battle of the Aux”. For informational purposes, auxiliary cords, A.K.A “aux” cords are used to hook up phones–or if you’re old, MP3 players–to stereo systems. Whomever controls the aux cord controls the music and that is an incredibly important responsibility, especially in a football locker room.

The concept is that a position group will make a Spotify playlist to be reviewed by their opposing position group. Today’s battle is between the offensive and defensive lines, dubbed the “Juice Squad” and “A.W.O.L” (Animals Without a Leash) respectively. Earlier this week the D-line reviewed the O-line’s playlist. Today the roles are reversed with the O-line reviewing the tracks put together by the D-line.

Fans can now vote on Twitter for which playlist they like best. The playlists are also available for listening on Spotify.
