So if state is 6-5 going into the Egg Bowl and they lose, does Mullen's seat just begin to get warm, or will state fans be calling for his head??
Serious question, no flame.

I'd say there's little chance of that happening... going 6-6 would meet expectations. He would have four straight bowl appearences. I think state fans would be happy with that.

We are the dark horse of 2013.

Historically I'd tend to agree. Ironically though, a coach on the rise can be his own worst enemy in some cases (without continued win/loss improvement) because they inevitably raise the bar for the program. Add to the fact that Mullen has been less than humble regarding his accomplishments and I personally believe at the bare minimum his seat would get warm, but there'd begin to be a vocal group within the fan base calling for a change (i.e. Hudspeth).

Losing 4 of your last 5 games and getting beat down by your in state rival isn't exactly "heating it up."
The statement, "Losing 4 of your last 5" isn't deceiving? Sure it happened and as bad as it sounds it is merely a way to make the fact that we lost to 3 top 10 teams and 1 hot team. Had our schedule been
JSU 1-0
LSU 1-1
AU 2-1
Troy 3-1
USA 4-1
UA 4-2
UT 5-2
UK 6-2
ATM 6-3
MTSU 7-3
Ark 8-3
TSUN 8-4
would it really make a difference? In reality, no. In an idiot's perspective, yes.
The fact of the matter is State beat the teams they were supposed to with the exception of OM.

State fans are the only ones that think State was "supposed" to beat Ole Miss this year.

Because other people don't really pay attention to either of us. OM had the momentum on their side. State was deflated and couldn't get any sort of rhythm going as a team.
Had the BFTGE been played the first game of the season State would have curb stomped OM. You can't deny that.

Anywhere from 4-6. 6 wins and Mullen gets a contract extension and raise.

Yeah. State winning 3 out of the last 4 and 4 out of the last 6 has taken the competitiveness out of the rivalry. Add to that 24 total wins and 10 SEC wins over the past 3 years to OM's 12 total wins and 4 SEC wins. Maybe if Hudspeth took over at State and lost more than Mullen the rivalry would be more competitive.

We were on a 3 game losing streak and y'all had just beaten Arky 45-14. Going into the game y'all had more momentum than us.

But this schedule is a LOT MORE difficult than last year.
It really is, and we got screwed in the 2013 realignment 'bridge' schedule. We've never played Missouri and the East team we have gone the longest since we played is Vanderbilt (last played at Vandy), so we were due to play either Missouri home/away or Vanderbilt at home, yet the SEC sticks us playing at South Carolina.
For those (esp OM fans) that want to point out our schedule this year, remember that we played 11-win South Carolina and 10-win Georgia teams from the East in 2011, even tougher than OM's East opponents this year. In 2010 we played Florida/Georgia from the East. In 2009 State played the toughest schedule in the country. And State's permanent East opponent, Kentucky, went bowling every year from 2006-2010.
So we didn't deserve to get screwed by playing at South Carolina in 2013 when we should have been playing Missouri or Vandy. Our AD had apparently been assured that we would play Vandy when we scheduled Oklahoma State.
Either way, it's not THAT big of a deal. It's not like Oklahoma State or even South Carolina are unbeatable. And maybe all this will make our 2014 and 2015 schedules better.

Keep spinning it. State beat the shite out of a really really REALLY shitty Arky team. OM had all of their moral victories from being competitive with aTm, UA, LSU so their guys felt like they could beat State. Had they gotten skull drug in those games they would not have felt the same. OM had no false hope of winning those games, therefore just being competitive was a win. State felt as though they could have won against any of them so getting beat badly was a punch to the gut.

Grasping for straws and you know it.
We're trending upward. Y'all have plateaued. Everyone else can see it.
