So the newbie to the SEC is now a historical expert on MSU and Mullen? Give me a fricking break. State will be the program that MUllen wants it to. There are no handicaps. Especially not any someone from TX would know about




So true. State is an SEC team Texan and if they keep winning and hold on to their coach they'll start holding on to the good recruits in MS. Most good MS recruits go to Bama or LSU.

I may be from Texas but it doesn't take a genius to see that State has the deck stacked against them. It takes more than a coach and honestly I don't see Mullen as being better than Saban, Miles, or Sumlin for that matter. State will always be at a severe monetary disadvantage which will leave it with a smaller stadium, lesser facilities, and less support. There are less than 3 million people in Mississippi and you share that with Ole Miss. Certainly there is no tradition of State winning either outside of the Jackie run when the rest of the West was down.

I don't hate State, I actually have always liked the school because of the similarities with A&M from school colors to similar roots to Jackie Sherrill. That said I don't see how you can consistently beat the other 6 schools in the West when you are battling it out with Ole Miss for 6th place in most fiscal related categories and the gap with the top schools is about double or more in some cases. It's going to take a lot more than Dan Mullen to change that and honestly Mullen still hasn't beaten a good team yet really.

I can see a breakthrough season where State wins the SEC but it would take an awful lot going your way. Personally I think State's best chance is the K State model where they do an amazing job of getting JUCO talent. There are great JUCO's in Mississippi and most of those kids leave the state, stop that flow and you could be on to something but that is much easier said than done.

Last time I checked Kailo Moore is committed to State with Shumpert a lean and Cox a State lock.
