Why is it that

[the dog is on the loose]

other teams seem to always have their best games or record breaking stats against us? It seems like it has been this way for many years. A really bad offense in Umass had a really good offensive game against us and J Hurt had a career day against us. I know sirmon sux but it seems like this is the case constantly.

If I knew the answer to that question I should be making the $4M a year and not Mullen. But I think you can trace this ineptitude back to the reason we sux, the 60s. That's when we became "poor ole MSU" and that attitude continues today because we don't have any expectations of being champions in football. We continue to play below our capabilities whether its some directional school or an Alabama. Mullen has broken the cycle because of that special player named Dakota but I'm afraid the cycle has started back again. There is no-way on god's green earth that we should be beaten by any team by almost 50 points. No way in hell.

It's bc you notice it more when you watch every play/game of your team

Ole Miss seems to be more unlucky than us, although they deserve it. I also watch them play a lot.

It's like when you date a girl and you break up, every damn car you see is what she used to drive all the way down to the make, model and year.

What others said is true, but it's also because, big picture, we kind of suck.

Nothing against where we are under Mullen vs our historical success, etc., but when we're in a division with so many great teams that mostly just play other great teams, we're the soft spot on the schedule more often than not.

We're having a terrible year defensively. You've got to go back to 2003 to find an MSU defense that was this bad. Combine that with the more wide open style of offenses today, and you end up with some huge numbers being put up against us.
