I am absolutely embarrassed that this terribly coached MSU team is going to a bowl game. We should never have accepted.
So many of you here sqawk on about getting practice and a paycheck. WTF?!? I think integrity matters more and accepting a bowl bid you didn't earn doesn't show a smidge.

They got in because the sports media spends mammoth amounts of time sucking off Bama and vise-versa.

Mississippi State does not deserve to go to a bowl game and Coach Grimace will make bad play calls, lose the game and damage our winning bowl record.

The only issue I see is that a 10-3 Alabama team that had a huge loss to a 5-7 Florida State team was able to get in above a 10-2 Vanderbilt team with two losses to ranked, winning teams. Your argument about Tulane and James Madison is nothing more than a big deflection from that fact. And I don't care that Alabama beat Vandy in the regular season, your team lost to a losing team, 31-17 and looked really bad in the SEC Championship game. Minus 3 yards rushing.
So good luck in the playoffs. You'll need every bit of it. Do you deserve to be in? No. And everyone knows it. But since you're getting in by virtue of your name, try not embarrassing the conference too bad when you lose.

Since Arkansas is looking, how about Mississippi State trade you Lebby for Petrino and a Love's reusable coffee mug?

I doubt Kiffin leave Ole Miss. He's got a sweet life there and he's building a contender.

I'm sure next season, when he's losing, we'll be in year 2.5 of a "complete rebuild" as well. Then it will be in year 3.5, 4.5...

How many seasons is the warranty on that excuse??

He would be smart enough to kick a FG to win a game, as opposed to calling a pass play and getting it picked off.

Okay, after reading your prediction, I'd recommend you put down the bottle of Bulleit Rye and go get a cold shower.

A Lebby coached team doesn't worry anyone. Mississippi State beat a really bad Arkansas team and you people are popping champagne corks! We should have beaten Arkansas and we did, DESPITE Lebby.

Lebby cost us a win over Florida. He has taken a good team that should be 7-2 and coached them to a 5-4 record. He's NOT a good sideline coach and he's not outcoaching Kirby Smart on Saturday. But when MSU finishes this season at 5-7, so many of you will praise that disappointing record and declare we should give him another year.

Good luck with that plan.

Coach Bill Parcels once said that a team that loses by 2 points is no better than a team that loses by 20. They are still both losing teams.

Lebby called the pass play at Florida when we might have won it with a FG. That was the most idiotic call I've ever seen a coach make. He deserves the scorn he's getting. You can't ask your players to put it all on the line and then blow a game with such a poor coaching decision.
