Things are changing and it’s not all bad for State:

The Guys we lost in portal, were replaced with similar or better talent.

Then look at the signing class., 18 HS.. none of these guys are two star cell players that filled Crooms classes. All of them are legit. Sure no five stars but we got few of those anyway. The floor of the HS talent is better than years past.

Another detail JUCOs. They get four years now. We signed ten. Even great JuCo players like Montez Sweat were only here a minute now get a full career and they are older.

Mississippi has one of the best JuCo systems in the country. State got some of the best JuCo’s at positions of need.

And, if we miss on too many.. portal brings in some help.

State has a path to be better than ever before but… so does every Big Ten And SEC TEAM. Those and the teams with m lots of $$$ like SMU & Miami.

Not sure what it means but State has 3 QBs on the roster that are as talented as any group we have ever had.

Thing is: SEC is tough with so many good teams but I don’t see any great ones that can’t be beaten.

Only Bama, Mississippi State and Auburn stood with us in the '84 vote.

The rest were punk biotches.


No it was a 6-4 vote, but I don't remember who voted for us keeping it.
Not sure what you are saying, but UF, Auburn, MSU and bama equals the four schools that sided with UF.

His mathing skills were not mathing properly. 3+ Florida does equal 4

Then I realized, it was a reading math problem.

If anyone questions where the talent lies, it’s the SEC, no doubt. 6 of top ten and 13 of 26. Half the top teams are SEC, the rest are split between 3 other P4 conferences, independents and G5’s. Half the 12 team playoffs should be SEC from that graphic.

So smart players, that attend colleges with high academic standards, don't fully engage in the game of football because they are scared of injury?

---

Scared? No, they generally just have options. Boxing is not the choice of many either, that beats your brains in but so does football and leaves your body wrecked no matter how good you become. I had cousin that played pro ball. I heard him say once it’s not worth it but that was

Heck, many football players would gladly give it up to be a basketball star or a rock star. So scared? That’s not exactly it. More like, they got options and stupid people don’t.

Then you are not informed. It’s was a running joke for decades before and after Sherrill. I think Mullen even picked up on it.

Clearly that is a lie. If that were remotely true you would not have read this thread much less took the time to make such a response.

not a myth - based more on fact than some guy just saying it's a myth.

He was clocked at 100.8 in 1974 in the 9th inning using a radar gun of the day that measured the ball ten feet in front of the plate.

It's no stretch to know the ball starts slowing as soon as the ball leaves the hand. Today the ball is measured much closer to it's max speed closer to leaving the pitcher's hand.

The ball loses a lot of speed in that distance. If you don't know that, then there is no help for you. How much? That takes a lot more time to figure out but the data is out there.

Some estimates have it at 108.5 which may or may not be exactly accurate but I think it's safe to say it's closer to that than you could ever imagine getting with your limited math skills.

Need my players but I think we got the right guy as the HC.

Offensively we should be really good, OL, WR, TE and QB seem to be set. Even RB is OK, no HR guy but several guys that run hard.

Defensively? Not so much, way too much unproven. Lots of length and athleticism but toughness? And that secondary? No real big time DL, DE but unproven does not mean untalented. They could be better than expected.

That's weird, you care enough to say you hate something? Damn, that's strong. I can see being indifferent but damn don't watch it prick.

Nate has been around for 20 years, he is not new. He blew up during Covid when he did a Netflix special outside that blew the lid off Netflix's ratings. Now, he sells out arenas.

He is a storyteller comedian that is taking advantage of the SNL limelight trying to get his name out there to be more mainstream but to say he wasn't already famous is crazy. Most famous entertainer ever? No, he ain't Elvis.

I listen Dana Carvey and David Spades' podcast called "Fly on the Wall. Nate was on the latest episode. It's about an hour long interview for one guest and you have to have some sort of tie to SNL for them to put you on. I found it very interesting.
