re: Mississippi State 2014 Season Prediction

Of OM and MSU, who had better talent last year?

Hard to say, Im sure you are going to try to base your opinion on the eggbowl, but neither team was at full strength. Also it was at Starkville which gave you a slight advantage.

The funny thing is they were pretty close however you want to make your claim. The difference is that was after 1 real year of Freeze recruiting and 5 real years of Mullen recruiting, I could be off by a year. MSU should have been head and shoulders better but the only real position battle that was heavily in your favor was your DL vs our OL, but that was with our FR AA LT out for most of the game.

Nutt's recruiting was good at pulling in talent, attrition is what hurt y'all. Acting like Nutt recruited a bunch of not rated players is retarded.

butthurt is a strong term but it does kind of annoy me... After we win in Oxford this year I may bring him back.

And youre talking like they both stepped into similar situations... It's not like Mullen stepped into a loaded roster or anything but Croom left him something in the cupboard... Nutt and his staff burnt us to the god damn ground.

---

Nutt left you just as much as Croom left us. Or are you going to pretend that you've been carried by Freeze-recruited players these first 2 years?

Welcome to the SEC West... You've been here since 1992 but I guess you havent been paying attention..

5 of the listed teams were not SEC west teams. 3 were OOC -- including one BCS Bowl team.

---

Yeah... We pay our football coaches more money than you do... Always have...

---

That's why you are still paying the last staff. Not our fault that you are stupid with your money.

quote:

---

That's why Oxford is a more attractive destination for head coaches and assistants than Starkville.

---

According to whom? This is just you talking out of your arse.

I'd love to show me where you've ever paid an assistant better than we are currently paying Geoff Collins. If you can...

It's funny because Reggie says this stuff specifically to rile engie up and he goes for it every damn time.

Not even close... We had 7 OL the entire year... Our starting juco RT showed up on campus in the summer.

---

You don't count so good. You had NINE returning lettermen and 2 rsFR on the OL before Burton and Bailey showed up on campus. But, by all means, 13 is pretty close to 7 in the same way you only had 55 scholarship players 2 years ago...

You know what day I'm ready for engie.. The day you start spinning MSU wins instead of MSU losses.

---

Know what day I'm ready for reggie.. The day you stop basing your thoughts on bullshite propaganda and learn to think for yourself.

quote:

---

Oxford is Oxford and Starkville is Starkville. That's why OM is a more appealing job.

---

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.

quote:

Not to mention the fact that OM has won something significant.

ELLLL OH ELLLLLL

It's easier to recruit to Oxford because of the town, women, better facilities, better food, better atmosphere, etc.

---

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.

quote:

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!

---

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.
