Look, I'm a fair weather dogs fan but they aren’t in the same category.

I put every dollar in my FanDuel account on Bama ML. We simply never win these games. I will gladly wipe my arse with that money if we pull off the miracle of finally beating Bama for the first time in 20+ years.

I give State about a 20% chance of winning. Which is better than the vast majority of the Saban era. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a State-Bama game thinking “why am I doing this? This is a waste of time and money.”

It felt impossible for State to beat Saban most years. I would not say it’s impossible this time around. But Kamario is going to have to have Heisman winning performance.

I just continue to believe State is good but not Playoff caliber. I think they just aren’t good enough at the tackle positions, and on defense they’re playing hard but it just feels like too many injuries are piling up and they’re due for a game where they can’t get a stop. I lean toward that game coming against Bama.

As head coaches, you are correct. Kiffin is way ahead of Lebby. As offensive coordinators? Lebby is certainly up there with Kiffin. Lebby has proven his offense works at several schools. Look where Kamario Taylor is right now as a true sophomore.

I'm not saying State is going to win 10 or even 9 games in the regular season. But Kamario does not need to leave State to show his talent to the NFL.

Who exactly has Alabama beat to be so good?

Isn’t this the same team down 21-0 to Florida state at home in the second quarter?

State is better than fsu

But then there’s those other 2 pesky quarters. I figure State will score on AL. We may even get out in front in the beginning of the game. By the 4th quarter, AL will lead by two scores.

Miss St is #1 SEC total offense, has top 3 SEC QB+RB+WR, and defense has done enough to win games.
Playing in Starkville.
I get that it’s difficult after decades of beat down but State has to go into this game expecting to win.

Mississippi State is the most connected and together team in the SEC right now - and they also have playmakers at key positions - Lebby & staff have that whole thing locked in right now more than anyone - yes Florida - more than y'all - Bama still ain't bought into Dabore - Georgia is sleepwalking which is crazy considering their talent -

I see MSU going 9-3 as their floor. I think they beat LSU and Oklahoma. They beat Ole Miss and you’re looking at 10 wins and a playoff chance.

This is one of those games I could see Bama getting embarrassed in. Then they'll turn around next week and somehow beat Georgia.


Wrong about both predictions! Bama will easily beat State, then become Georgia's bitch when they meet. Sorry for your loss!

I'd worry a lot more about Florida's style of play at this point. They are taking lunch money on the LOS. They can run in the red zone, and they are figuring it out a little more every week. That is going to be a big matchup problem for everyone in the SEC. The defense does make me wonder about the biggest stage this season. But so does everyone else's.

The ball has been cloudy lately, that being said, I was higher on this State team than just about everyone in my circle.

I think Bama takes their first loss of the season Saturday.

I can't see it. As bad a Sellers threw it against us, I think he gave teams a blueprint, Beamer was just too dumb to realize it. You get your QB in space against our defense, it creates a lot of issues. As great as our two offenses are, I really think the story of this game is who's defense can limit 1-2 explosive plays.

Hard to root for State since they beat us Saturday, and I hate Bama as much as the next guy.... hrmmm maybe we'll see some history and total tv chaos with something like a thrilling seven OT game ending 2-0 Who wins ? REC
