This Week's This Is Our Show...

[SheltonChoked]

This is our show with sallee

I still heard " I picked them last because it's Mississippi State".

MSU has no proven depth that's why they are last, but Everyone else has a proven history of replacing starters.

"MSU got lucky last year."

Please don't have this hack on again.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Every year I give him the benefit of the doubt, every year he's full of it again

On MSU's strengths "That's so overrated."

On other teams' weaknesses "Those are so overstated."

Returning a QB isn't a big deal, but MSU should be projected at the bottom next year because they lose their QB.

Also, he attributed the entirety of our success on our 84th ranked defense / 23rd ranked scoring defense (5th in the west), completely dismissing what was one of the most prolific SEC offenses ever - which is returning its Heisman candidate QB. But if we didn't have Dak, we'd probably be a 3 or 4 win team. Okay Sallee.


Guys, I think we must be Vanderbilt, but nobody told us.

[SheltonChoked]

I'm done with Sallee. I love the podcasts, but I'm not listening to his shows, segments or replays anymore.

I feel dumber for having listened to his reasoning for picking us at the bottom. First he says that a proven commodity returning at QB is the most overrated thing there is and then follows that up by saying that the reason we were successful last year essentially was due to our 1B defense rotation strategy. Guess Barrett somehow missed all the scores we gave up last year in key spots of big games with the 1Bs manning the defense. I guess also that Barrett can't see any difference in our offense between Dak running the show and an immobile pocket guy like Tyler was so its really unimportant he is returning.

Lost a lot of brain cells when he stated that Dak had very little to do with our success last year which is just beyond ridiculous. And to top it off it made me someone sick to hear him talking like he picked us to win pretty big last year when I know that's just a lie. Don't have his exact prediction for us last year but I would be shocked if he picked us any higher than 5th in the West.

The biggest thing I can remember him saying on his BSR interviews last year is that we didn't have enough elite talent starting to be an upper division type team. Of course now he says we have to replace all the experience we lost and that's why we will be at the bottom even though the guys we are replacing he called subpar talent prior to last year. Barrett just picks what he wants and then spews whatever jibberish he needs to in order to try and make sense of it. Besides his pathetic team evaluations the other thing is he is just so unlikeable. Only thing worse than an idiot is an arrogant idiot.

 

[dawgstudent]

I also wanted to ask him about why/how he thinks Chad Kelly is a "darkhorse" Heisman candidate but I forgot. I wanted him to clarify if Kelly was a darkhorse in the same vein he was saying Prescott was a darkhorse last season.

Thank y'all for listening.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

He picked us to go 7-5 and have a top 3 pass defense in the SEC in 2014.

So, basically, wrong on all counts.

 

[biguglyjoe]

Yet people continue to link his garbage and feed the machine.

So this is a really good thing. We have more than a chance! #opposite

 

[patdog]

If we have a top 3 pass defense in the SEC, we're going to be a lot better than 7-5.

 

[civildawg88]

I'm sorry but I could only make it half way through

when HD6 was talking about how shumpert out rushed roc thomas and how auburn returns so much but HD6 was pointing out how we return just as much and sallee just went quiet. I knew he was full of crap with his excuses. He also keeps saying our defense is the reason we are going to be last. Sallee do you realize how bad auburn's defense was last year?

 

[Hump4Hoops]

We could field identical twins to auburn's entire roster any given year,

and Sallee would have a completely different story to tell about each team, probably predicting them with 3 more wins than us. It's what he does.

2014

**nm**

 

[aTotal360]

100% agree. He's just lazy and loves to fan the flames. It's the only way he can get our fans to listen. I wish we would quit taking the bait.

 

[campshelbydog842003]

He basically made fun of state and everyone had a good laugh at our expense throughout that entire interview. I completely understand not wanting to be a dick to a guest on your show but when someone is pissing on your head while smiling and acting like it's no big deal you have to be a bit less cordial.

 

[Shamoan]

wow...im not gonna listen to it, but was it that bad? ouch.

 

[philduckworth]

I will just say if our 1A/1B rotation was such a key to our success last year b/c it kept us fresh, then why did we lose 3 of our last 4 games.

His main concern with State this year is our front 7. I would have said front 4, not front 7. But it is scary to me that a large part of our success on D relies on Nick James. And then of course Nelson Adams and Cory Thomas.

 

[dawgstudent]

It wasn't that bad. He would make his points and we would say why we disagreed.

 

[Bulldogg31]

It wasn't a bad interview. I thought it was entertaining when HD6 started calling BS out on some inconsistencies in his logic.

You know, the worst part of any argument is the moment when you realize you're wrong.

BS's logic is not well thought out, he basically picked us last because someone has to finish DAL.

 

[patdog]

Why do you even give him the platform to promote his website? From what little I know about him (what I've seen on this site and the links from here I've clicked), he's just a troll, and not a very good one at that.

 

[HD6]

He's working with me on VSporto now as well.

 

[dawgstudent]

Well he now is doing shows for Vsporto as well so he is not promoting his website only.

Next week's guest is Peter Burns from SEC Network.

So, basically, wrong on all counts.

So essentially the EXACT same as this year. I can assure you that if you would have replaced the home game with Vandy last year with a road trip to Mizzou then his prediction for us would have dropped from 7-5 to 6-6, which is pretty much what he is picking for us this year. Again emphasizing that he is trying to act now like he knew we would be really good last year because of all the returning experience which is just a bold face lie. He didn't expect us to be good last year and he doesn't expect us to be good this year and he will not expect us to be good next year. He's a broken record.

 

[dickiedawg]

First of all, props to Sallee for coming on and taking his lumps. It's pretty much a no-win scenario for him coming on the show to "defend" his predictions to a pro-MSU audience.

But here's what I took from the interview:
1. Returning quarterback is the most overrated factor.
2. Last year's results are not necessarily predictive.
3. Returning starters don't mean that much.

What does that leave to do rankings based on? The name on the jersey!

 

[HD6]

And that was the point I was trying to make. Auburn and Alabama are getting preseason respect because they are Auburn and Alabama.

 

[121Josey]

Barrette Sallée Say, "Hodor, Hodor. Best 6-6 Team in the Nation. Hodor, Hodor"

The guy's arguments are SO ad hoc.

As stated, offense isn't the problem, so:
2014 AU has a terrible defense. Hires a reputable DC. Top of the league.
2014 TAMU has a terrible defense. Hires a reputable DC. Top of the league.
2014 MSU has an average defense. Hires an unheralded DC. Bottom of the league.

But it all comes down to the W-L. He feels that everybody in the SECW can/will beat State. LSU got worse but is still better than State? LSU has name recognition.

Sallée's arguments are all based on name perception and nothing of substance. It's okay because 2015 is a trap-year for Miss. State.**

 

[AFDawg]

I'll happily listen to you two gents, but I'm not giving Sallee any attention. He's a troll with a press pass.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

Will be sweet to hear him retract, about 2/3 of the way through the season. Will expose what a hack he is. It's Bleacher Report, for crying out loud. My nephew can write an article for them.
