More Cowbell 1963

Next year may be State's best year for awhile. There will be a lot of NFL talent on that defense and maybe even a few on offense but most will be gone after next year.

Moorehead is already making inroads at recruiting and I expect the level of athlete in Starkville to surpass the Mullen era. If he can recruit in the top 15 consistently while adding that raw Mississippi talent, look out for that SEC West title or even better. But, you gotta have the players first.


After I see that happen a few years, get back with me on those championships.

Did you find yourself someone dumber than you? Congrats!

Cupboard.. cubbard.. hmmm, damm, that sucks... I must remember that stroke kicked my arse. No shite, getting old is not for the weak.

I have seen several State guys talk about Mullen's recruiting and how it sucked at State. He did get a bit lazy at times and some of his assistants (Hev) suck at it. We all seem to agree that they coach em up though.

My two cents:

Mullen can evaluate talent like few others. He will find some guys that no one else finds. He will not worry about stars. If you see him offer a two star guy, don't worry, that guy most likely can play and help him out after a year to two. He has his method of evaluation and it works.

I think Mullen did limit himself in Starkville. He was known to laugh at the idea that one of his assistants could bring in a certain recruits to State. I don't think he ever really "believed" in Starkvegas as a place that he could attract top talent. So, he never went after them or gave up quickly.

I do think he got a bit lazy and missed on some guys that he should have gotten. He knows he can't get away with that at Florida.

Bottom line, those issues won't service at Florida. He believes in that place.

If I were a Florida fan, his recruiting would not be my concern. Mullen will fill that roster with excellent players. Even if he ends up falling on his face due to his other limitations, your cubbard will not be empty for the next guy.

My two cents as a State fan.

State wins by dominating the run game. No way they can do that vs BAMA. This is a horrible match-up for them.

So, how can they win?

State has to get bunch of breaks, turnovers etc.. and play the best game of their life. Then and only then do they have a shot.

Score would be something like 16-14 with Bama missing a chip shot field goal as time expires.

I guess anything is possible.

This year's State team would beat last year's by 40 as well.

Obviously many of the players are the same but they have grown tremendously. The defense has a much better coach at the helm as well.

There also has been several JuCo's come in and be major contributors.

As a State fan it's been fun to watch the transformation but we really don't know how good they are do we. I mean LSU did shite the bed a lot in that game. I had thought our best team may be next year when Fitz is a senior and has all his abilities maxed. We won't lose a ton next year either unless some of these guys go early for the draft.

Hopefully, this group has a couple really good years. I am even hopeful that Mullen has started building this thing to be sustainable.

Playoffs... Playoffs... Plaaaayy offffss

Does not compute.. I am a State fan.

I am a Mississippi State fan.. What the freak you want from me?

Dang, even the kid from Stanford only scored a 21. These are some dumb arse people. i would be willing to bet that everyone here tonight could probably score at least 20 on it if they really tried.

Running backs really must be the dumbest people on the planet. Nevermind, draft his arse number 1

My honest answer, we don't have the fan base and money to force our way out of these road games. Simple as that.

The only SEC town shittier than Oxford, is Starkville. Thats a fact. Would never go back again under any circumstances.

I was passing through Baton Rouge one night on my way to Texas. Two swampy Cajun sounding dudes tried to roll me. I never intend to stop there again. Starkville and Oxford > Baton Rouge... At least I don't get killed in those places just trying to grab some breakfast.
