And Mississippi State a team returning the reigning SEC player of the year was expected to be terrible. Through 4 games my bulldogs are looking solid and I can see us winning 8-9 games.

Auburn and Arkansas returned a lot of players but it blows my mind that the media thought they would be so good.

With the lofty expectations Bert and Gus could feel a lot of heat this season if they don't make a bowl. Both still have to play Bama and Ole Miss

Because of your small penis size.

Because we're Mississippi State and the media loves to focus on the past trends. Clearly we couldn't possibly field a competitive team two years in a row..

Arkansas was a bonafide power at the end of last year. Returning QB, skill positions, and a massive O-line. Defense lost some people but they crushed texass in the bowl game. Hype was deserved.

Auburn... no idea. Their D was almost as shitty as ours was last year. Not sure how/why they were so hyped.

Where do you think State finishes in the West this year? I have a hard time seeing them finish higher than 5th, which would be nothing to brag about. I also think that has less to do with people underestimating y'all and more to do with Auburn's collapse and Arkansas' recession from last year's end.

Auburn's own coach who is known for his innovative offense and putting up points hyped his own QB this offseason.

Well that didn't work out well.

And that team was held without a TD vs Mississippi State for the first time since he's been roaming the sidelines down on the Plains.

A&M game is critical. Win and I see State 8-1 going into the Bama game. Lose, and it's anyone's guess.

Historically when Auburn is rated high in the preseason this tends to happen, it's nothing new for long time Auburn fans.

AND Frick your Quasimodo coach and your QB that got curb stomped by a Flavor Flav wanna be.

Wow! We have different definitions of "solid." I could see State winning 8-9 games, but LSU fans would call that average.

I've already eaten my crow regarding State.

IMO, y'all are the #2 team in the division right now behind LSU. I am confident y'all will beat Ole Miss and wouldn't be at all surprised if you beat Bama too.

Y'all are definitely not out of the division race. Dawgs will have to find a running game in order to keep winning though.

I think we finish either 5-3 or 4-4 in the SEC and that would put us 3-5 likely

You are the same guy who repeatedly claimed there would be no drop off from Moo State's greatest of all time team, yet you were extremely fortunate to beat an Auburn team that was so overhyped. Make sure to come back and repeat that story when you finish the season with at least 5 losses

They had to pump up somebody and LSU was supposed to have another bad QB + bad coach. Burt, Gus & Mustchump are such great coaches. MSU has no supporting cast for Prescott.

It's going to be Fun watching the Bayou Coon Asses Melt when they travel to T-Town and the Grove to get their Annual beat down.
