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

The position groups battle it out in who can curate 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. We’re not sure yet if there will be fan voting on who wins, but that would be a fun way to increase the fan engagement. Anyway, today’s battle is between the offensive and defensive lines, dubbed the “Juice Squad” and “A.W.O.L” (Animals Without a Leash) respectively. In this video the D-line reviews the tracks put together by the O-line.

Fair to say A.W.O.L wasn’t a big fan of the music Juice Squad brought to the table. Next up the roles will be flipped with the O-line evaluating the D-line’s choices.
