re: Dark Horse of the SEC East, West and of the NCAA

quote:

---

We lost some people, and replaced them with starters from Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma.

---

Actually.. No, you didn't.

Let's take the LB who transferred from us. Do you think he was the starter? Heads up... he wasn't. He was next man up due to injuries.

If he was a starter here, with that many years left to play, he would have remained.

The CB fro LSU was not starter either. Though he was forced to start some games due to the issues at LSU.


The WR from OU is NO Burks.

quote:

---

We’ll be fine.

---

No doubt, Like I said... He's a great guy.

quote:

---

Arkansas is 2-0 against Miss State.

---

Yes... he is. Year 1, he barely beat the youngest, most inexperienced team in not just the SEC but the NCAA. In Year 2, you didn't beat them... they beat themselves. Yeah, you got the win, but it had more to do with Ms St not having a kicker.

quote:

---

Odom has Leach figured out.

---

No.. If he had, then you would not have allowed 500 yards. They would NOT have had the lead with 2:30 seconds left in the game... and been able to get back into FG as time ran out.


But that's why the games are played!

Baylor is +220 to make the Big 12 championship. They are +550 to win the Big 12.


Bet the house

Burks was a beast at getting the ball.

We can agree on this.

How’s Columbia doing this year and where is it?

Mississippi State is out of excuses this year. They should roll except for when they play Bama. Ole Miss doesn’t have anything left over so the State pressure is in Mississippi State.

I’m not crazy about 3-4 defense teams tho

I don't like 3-4 much either but I like the way we do it. Or did it last year. Whether I like it this year or not will hinge on how smart & physical our new linebackers play.

Warren barely saw the field and Morris was a walk-on. Both are being replaced by better WRs that Arkansas has recruited well the past two years. Inexperienced but better size and speed.

Blake Kern was a good blocking TE but struggled catching the ball. He is being replaced by WR turned TE Trey Knox who has better hands. Sam has recruited well at this position but needed someone with experience before throwing a freshman on the field.

Tre Williams got busted with drinking and passed at a McDonalds right before the bowl. He was a senior and declared but was undrafted. He was all over the field in the first four games of the season but as Missouri fans warned, he would disappear and he went missing the rest of the year. Utsey like Williams were Missouri rejects that were filler until better players come along. Wright never saw the field, Boykin didn't either. Jalen Williams was buried on the depth chart. John Ridgeway was the only loss and he was a late round draft pick.


Morgan and Henry are decent players and were very fortunate to start at an SEC team when depth was severely limited. You still have leading tackler Bumper Pool and Drew Sanders will fill in one of those spots. Sam has recruited hard at this position and depth is a problem again because of the lack of experience.

Arkansas traded decent players for other decent players from the portal and so no gain or loss at this position and you also forgot to mention Jalen Catalon who missed seven games last year will return and provide a huge boost to the secondary.

Turner and Jordan either saw limited playing time or couldn't get on the field. Bush has flirted with the portal in the past, decided to make it a final decision because of lack of playing time.

quote:

---

So wait, you said 7-6 Miss State was “that close” to being a 10 win team… Over Arkansas who finished 9-4, and lost to Ole Miss 52-51 because we missed a 2 pt conversion as time expired to win. You are really special.

Don’t forget the Bama game at Bama.

Morris had the second highest production at WR behind Burks.

All I hear is noise. You asked who else you lost, I listed them. Now you are "but but b ut.." And that's ok as long as you "afford" that to other teams.

And when you do that, You have to acknowledge that Ms St did the same thing with the FEW they needed. Example.. They got a great 4 Star CB from us, Marcus Banks. They got a WR from Georgia. etc etc.

So it all goes back to these things.

1- They had the lead on the road with 2:30 left in the game. They missed 4 FGs. One was to tie the game back up.

2- All things are not equal. 18 returning starters who have been in that system 3 years, and most are starters during that time VS bringing in a lot of new people.

3- You are on the road.

4- reports are they recruited 2 kickers.



So I still get back to the point..... You are not going to win at Ms St this year. As a dark horse, that removes you from contention.

Just personal opinion.

Why do you even pretend to be a bama fan. Every damn thing you say is to somehow prop up miss state. Which is fine, be a fan and be optimistic about your team. This pretending to be an objective observer is complete shite. Arkansas, ole miss, and state are all relatively close in talent, probably all end up 1-1 against the other 2.

What the Mississippi State mud pie eating mongoloids fail to realize is that OM is paying Lane 7.25m, a top 10 salary. His kids moved from Cali to live in Oxford. He’s put more skill players on NFL rosters in his first two years than MS State has in this millennium. He had a top 15 class in year 2, something Mississippi State hasn’t done in program history.

Lane isn’t leaving, no matter how badly you runts want it to happen.
