it just kind of depends on a few things. heisman status, w/l record, if he gets injured, CFB is a cruel mistress and things can go south quickly. im just going to enjoy it. hes got many reasons to stay at state and with the guys we have in the NFL along with our regular boosters, we may just decide to do something equally stupid and give him whatever his offer is elsewhere. hes got many reasons to stay at state that he himself has given. this is the sick side of college football. if this is his calling and he leaves, thats bad for college football.

I know a lot of State fans who have been wanting Lebby gone.


He was 100% on the hot seat entering the year. And you can make a case he’s not totally out of the woods if the season somehow falls apart and they only win 5ish games again.

But the strong start seems to suggest this team is good enough change perception of Lebby, for at least as long as Kamario is still on campus.

“Look sorry you hate people from multiple fan bases telling you that there’s a legitimate risk of your star quarterback being poached.”

I think it’s obviously a possibility. Money talks. I don’t necessarily appreciate the media pushing the narrative. Just like you probably didn’t like the media pushing the “Kiffin to wherever” narrative the last couple of years.

Why is Miss St -6 vs Missouri for this weekend game?


Odds makers and those placing the bets must have actually watched our game against Troy on Saturday.

But can they match when a different school is trying to make his entire family very rich?


If State is where he really wants to be, they may not have to match as long as they're within reasonable distance.

This isn't the 80s. Any BIG or SEC program can win and make the playoffs. You will need to overspend to attract a starter.

For sure. But that comes with the territory.

If State goes 7-5, a lot of money will be thrown at Taylor from other teams. I can see him leaving but I would hope not

FSU has major NIL issues.

I doubt he'd leave, but I also doubt he's going to leave money on the table


He left more money on the table this past offseason. He's just shy of 2 million this year. Turned down 3M+ offers last year.

It’s going to be hard to turn down an
extra 2 million a year when everyone
you know has their hand out. I think
the big worry is Lebby leaving. It’s taken
him 3 years to get the right personnel
but he can win with them. I could see
FSU, Baylor, or Oklahoma making offers.

FSU and Baylor? lmao

Oklahoma is a long term possibility for Lebby, I'll admit that. But I don't see them firing BV this year.

I don't see him making a move this year. I think he and Kamario will ride continuity out until he gets drafted and Lebby will go to a bigger program in 2028.

Kamario is who everyone thought Bryce Underwood would be.

Ok. With the current landscape of college football, I agree. I still find it boring to discus. “What if he transfers?” Well, that’ll suck. Next question? ??

State has a larger NIL budget than FSU, confirmed by the big NIL report. State has a $35,000,000 roster. Top 25 nationally with room to spare, 4 SEC teams have a cheaper roster. We are not poor

Yeah, I mean that’s fair. I understand the frustration about not wanting to talk about it. The other MSU fan had it right and that it was the same thing with the “Kiffin is going to leave you” stuff.
