Surprised KC found the cap space for it. I thought they'd have to trade him. He's a great player.

Mahomes took a little less so this deal could get done.

Kind of amazing how State has had some badass players (Jones, Dak, fletcher cox, Darius slay) and they’re always a bottom dweller.

Eric Berry's dead money clears up after this year ($8M this year). That, and guessing we don't resign Sammy next year ($17m).

Speaks to the depth of the SEC.

State has had some teams in the last decade finish fourth or fifth in the West that could have won another P5 conference. Go look at the 2010 season. State was 5th out of 6th teams and ended the season No. 15 in the polls and beat a good Michigan team 52-14 in a bowl game.

I wish it would. I actually made the logo and reached out to the school but they said something about copyright blah blah.

They weren’t a bottom dweller when they had those guys. People forget that OM and State we’re both ranked top 4 in the inaugural CFP playoff poll

It's pretty badarse. Well done. I'd print some shirts and decals and make some money while you can. MSU will surely steal it. It fits too well with what ya'll already have.

I'm sure you could find some website to make them or perhaps a friend with a print shop. Deal in cash. I'd at least do it for friends and hand out as gifts or whatnot. I can understand the hesitancy though.

I've always followed him after watching him dominate the Ala-Miss HS Allstar game back in '12. Couldn't block him. It was a sight to see.

For a day or two, until Myles 5 year 125 million deal is finalized.


(And, for the record, Chris Jones is a stud. Unbelievably good player.)

Chris Jones recruitment was wild. I remember he was an unranked recruit and ended up being the #2 recruit in the country behind Nkemdiche. That would have been a natty champ team if ole miss had Chris Jones in 2015.
