I agree. It's like he has been holding that article for a few months now to take a potshot at us when something bad comes out. Guy sounds like a nerdy eunuch when he speaks. Looks like a Horatio Sanz character.

Did I mention his teeth are stained a deep yellow? Either he was a heavy smoker or he loves to slosh dark yellow pee around in his mouth.

Poor guy makes Superbad Jonah Hill look like Brad Pitt.

One thing I've yet to understand. Ole Miss lost a ton of experience as we did after 2014 and got their QB back as we did after 2014. Their schedule is brutal. Yet, they are pegged to not miss a beat.

Yet ear as always, we were picked last in the west.

Well big deal, most media predictors almost always predict MSU to finish last in the West every year. At this point I can't decide if it is done out of disrespect to us or laziness.

It is just easy to write up our preseason overview each year if they can just pull up the past year's write up where we were picked last. Just change some of the lines like 2014 "#7 MSU, Dak is unproven as a Starter" to 2015 "#7 MSU, Dak can't do it all by himself", so now it'll be 2016 "#7 MSU, They ain't got Dak no more!"

It's disrespect and ignorance. They don't understand how anybody playing in Starkville could be any good..and that's the gist of it too. It's literally that simple.

I understand and agree with what you said but read the article I'm talking about. This has a different feel than just picking state to finish last. I wouldn't post anything about an article like that. Like rugb said, this article feels like Hugh has been saving it for a while. All in one article he says we will finish last, have no all sec caliber players on defense (then says we have the talent to finish in top half of sec defense). Threw shots at all of the defensive hires, such as the overall rank of the defense they coached on last year. And insinuates that Mullen has one foot out the door.

Its just a ******** article, especially on the heels of the fluff piece they wrote regarding OM and the investigation. To me, that article he wrote would be perfect to write after we finish last in the west next year.

Well I usually dismiss everything Kellenberger writes, but I did read his article this morning. While I agree he has stored up some "venom" to use in his article and he obviously biased---the thing that gets me is how he argues his argument and THEN argues the opposition's argument.

He talks about how we have lost all our Defensive coaches, graduated several leaders, lost underclassmen like Chris Jones and Beniquez Brown, and failed to create turnovers. But then he turns around and called our Defense "solid" last year and hints that we have "enough talent left in Starkville to field a top half of the league Defense..." He also adds at the end of his article that our new staff could lead a Defensive "resurgence" although by his tone he obviously considers this to be a low probability.

Kellenberger is either throwing in scattered compliments to try to seem unbiased or an editor made him do so. I believe he is adding them in on his own, and it makes no sense I mean he isn't going to "win us over" and get us to be his readers. Kellenberger, just put on your bow-tie, eat your Abner's chicken fingers, drink some mouthwash, smoke some Spice, and "Go Full Retard!"

Our fans poor mouth Mullen as much or more than many OM fans .. he can't recruit .. he can't get good coaches .. he won't play the best players .. his play calling sucks .. yada .. yada .. yada (See ED for the latest 'poor mouth')

BUT Mullen has consistently outperformed the so called 'experts.' NOBODY predicted a 9-4 season for MSU last year. Nobody.

I don't think Kellenberger is intentionally biased toward OM. I do think that we've been blessed with several quality writers at the CL, and that he just doesn't measure up. The poor guy is obviously very concerned about what certain groups of people think about him. That's a pretty serious flaw for a journalist.

He seems to have no real interest in the ncaa investigation because in certain internet circles they think ncaa rules prohibiting payment of players are dumb. Never mind the hypocrisy angle of the televangelist head coach and AD lying through their teeth every chance they get to talk about it. The fact that two recruits have come out and said that Freeze told them before signing day that the investigation didn't involve his staff should be a huge story.

You first really noticed the problem with Kellenberger back during the Marshall Henderson era. Here you have the highest profile OM athlete since Eli. And during college you could make the argument he was higher profile nationally than Eli was before him. He was arrested and a small amount of cocaine was found in his car. A month went by, then Kellenberger was scooped by an out of state journalist. I would think many journalists would be embarrassed by that, but this one just wants so badly to be liked.

They don't have a Treadwell or Rkemdeeche on their roster this year. Chad Kelly

Bailed their butt out last year otherwise 6 or 7 wins.

You are correct, nothing new to see here. The best we will ever get out of CL

Is fair unbiased reporting. To date they are basically an Ole Miss rag that takes shots at State.

They have 8 starters back and opens with FSU. Then they have Bama and GA two of the next three games. I suspect they will be losing some coaches next year and not due to them leaving to go to another school.

That poor goofy looking **** is just an OM homer mouthpiece. CL sucks......

at unbiased sports reporting. As Coach alluded to, he is nothing more than a pawn in the OM sports agenda and the CL is as well. Thank goodness I don't have to rely on it for legit sports info anymore.

I don't know, but I'm guessing it's more about him wanting to keep his job, or at least that keeping his job is more of a concern to him.

Name the last time the Clarion Ledger WASN'T scooped by an out-of-state newspaper with bad news about the confederates. You can't. Not in my lifetime has the CL ever been the first to report anything negative about umiss. Not once.

You probably have it right here... I mean the CL has already sent one beat writer packing for just trying to find out about this OM investigation.
