Oxford is Oxford and Starkville is Starkville. That's why OM is a more appealing job. Not to mention the fact that OM has won something significant. It's easier to recruit to Oxford because of the town, women, better facilities, better food, better atmosphere, etc. Taking these things into account makes the job Mullen has done up to this point very impressive. Four straight bowl games is something to be proud of in Starkville!

LOL. Yeah -- we had so much trouble that we hired the national champion OC. You hired Arky St's coach after our boy in Lafayette told you thanks but no thanks.

So easy to dominate recruiting that you generally only get 50% of the players in the state and still can't manage to beat big bro, huh? How many years in a row now have you finished behind us in the west? #crootindomination

Don't look up this year -- because we're taking that from you as well.

What Mullen has done is the baseline of what we expect going forward -- with the potential for a special year this year -- but one that will ultimately define him either way and give us a pretty good idea about his ceiling. You won't find a single State fan that thinks he's greatly overachieved thusfar. He's basically been chalk. Done some things great and some things not so good. One thing I won't complain about is that he self-examines and fixes problems from year-to-year. It's not your mom and dad's Mississippi State anymore.

Facilities? Which athletic buildings are you referring to as being better at OM than State? You can spin that as much as possible, but it makes you seem poorly informed or dumb. You really think coaches view Oxford as a more attractive job? Just remember were our two coaches came from before they took jobs at our respective schools.
