The narrative is you eliminate excuses..... Excuse was when we lose, blame MSU fan support-Peters. The fans eliminated that excuse...............
Whats giving someone a trophy just because you got your ****** hurt that we lost to Ole Miss? So you think we shouldn’t show the team support because they lost a couple? I guess that will show them.
Not just a MSU thing.
I was sitting in Bryant Denny Stadium in 1997 and watched MSU beat Bama on Senior Day in front of a patchy sparse Crimson Tide crowd. Bama was having a rough season and even the Bama fans with their History, Tradition, Mystique, etc. couldn't fill the stands.
This last season, The Egg Bowl at Ole Miss, their Senior Day their "Bowl Game", but they had a rough season so their stands were NOT full especially their Student section.
We need to stop acting like MSU is some weird fan base and that we react to losing differently than other fan bases. "If you build it, they will come" is actually a lie..."If you win, they will come" is the damn truth.

So you equate fans not supporting two ****** teams to us not supporting a top 25 team? And football a loss is much more devastating than basketball. If we were a **** show I could understand. I just saw a team that made more plays than us today. I mean a guy averaging 8 ppg scores what 26 points?
Not just this game douchenozzle. I’ve never been a Howland fan. Knew what we were getting when we hired him. Strong recruiter who has undisciplined and unorganized teams. Unfortunately sunshine princesses like yourself cant understand that. And now we’re in a really 17ed up spot for our program going forward. Cause ol Ben will be losing his best players next year so the writing is on the wall
Thats not what Peters did. Peters said he didn’t care if the person that tweeted that supported this team or not because they have played in an empty hump which was true.
yeah hate that he’s coached us to a top 25 team. That’s definitley a tough spot for the program. Might need to go ahead a shut down the program because no way we recover from being a top 25 team.
Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees, holy **** dude. Tell me what our ranking is at the end of the year and how we do in the tournament, if we make it
Yeah. It’s basketball. UNC got beat by 20 at home today. Sometimes you lose. Ole miss is a good team. The only game we’ve lost that I was pissed about was South Carolina and our efffort was ****. If we played South Carolina with this effort, we would have won by at least 20. Yeah it sucks to lose to Ole Miss but we’ve lost the last 9 of 11 so I guess we should get use to it.
We supported a top 25 team plenty. Today's crowd was great.
After today if you want to support a top 25 team in this state you'll be wearing red and blue.

You mad bro? You not planning on having access to a tv or internet at the end of the season? And talk about not seeing the trees for the forest. I got you some tissues though
Uh hate to tell you but there’s a 14 by our name, which means we are a top 25 team.

WTF
2 straight losses will probably drop our ranking to around 20th - 24th, so we will have to work to stay in the Top 25.
We play 16 SEC games in Basketball and 8 SEC games in Football, so the ratio is approximately 2 Basketball SEC games equal 1 Football SEC game...so yeah losing a 1 Football game is more devastating than losing 1 Basketball game, but losing 2 Basketall SEC games is pretty much as devastating as losing 1 Football SEC game.

Losing to Ole Miss, Mullen, or not hiring a brand name coach in baseball is a fireable offense. Can’t be argued against. Until, of course, later when it’s inconvenient to hold that opinion.
That number 14 does not mean a damn thing. Anybody with eyes can look at our last two games and see that we are not a top 25 team. We have the potential to be one but we are not even close right now.
Until we stop letting opposing forwards that average single figures look like Kevin 17ing Durant we will continue to lose to crappy teams.
said forward was 5 for 11 from 3 point range. Said forward averages three 3 point shots a game. I understand being upset last game because Holman got abused down low. It’s hard to be mad about today when Hinson just played out of his mind from long range.
Except losing 1 game in football can equal no playoffs, as shitastic of week this was, it comes nowhere near eliminating a team from the playoffs.
So you knew we were getting a coach that had been to 3 straight final fours when it took many decades, Title IX, 2 genders, and 2 1st round NBA picks just to get to 3. And you weren't a fan?
Do you know that his Northern Arizona and Pittsburgh teams were undisciplined and organized? Or are you going off one Sports Illustrated article his last year at UCLA? Because bad coaches don't get to 3 straight FF's, nor do good coaches, nor do most great coaches. I don't know that Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina or Michigan State has done it in the modern era.
And after the Rick Ray error you wasn't a fan of a hire of a coach with his record and accolades when there were few proven winners that wanted the job. You know what happened to the last "not a fan" don't you?

Brother if you ain't acting like we completely **** the bed against a Div 2 team by 20, you are not going to get much support around here. If we aren't throttling every team by 30 or more, we have a ****** coach running a bunch of ****** players.
You are correct that this can change IF we can get our collective **** together and play like a team. Don't know if we can because even if we do, we have some deficiencies on this team that no one talks about while they are twisting their panties in a wad.
Also remember that if we had lost to anyone at home other than Ole Miss, 50% of them wouldn't even be posting about it.
You must be ben.
Ole miss didnt win because hinson played out of his mind. Ole miss won because they are the better coached team. They ran sets with good ball movement and had open shots all night. Division 1 players hit shots when they are open. On our end, our offense is Peters or Q hogging the ball and shooting tough, contested shots from as far away as 30 feet. I'd love to see us actually run an offense.
We aren't a top 25 team because we dont play like one.
There's a lot more to our offense than just that. You're forgetting Peters or Q driving to the basket and either dribbling the ball off their knee or trying to shoot over a bigger center and/or forward and getting their shot either blocked or altered.
This is about as accurate as I have heard it put. Our undisciplined style of play isn't going to consistently win against well coached teams.
Yeah, it’s waaaaaay too early to say the NET rankings are the only ones that matter. If they automatically take the Top 36 teams that don’t receive auto bids, and leave the rest out, then yes you can say the NET rankings mean everything. But if that isn’t the case, you can’t really argue the NET is any more relevant than the old RPI. Something tells me the NCAA is going to deviate at least somewhat from the final rankings when selecting the teams. The NET rankings also don’t really mean anything until Selection Sunday, it’s still not even halfway through the season and they are going to change a lot....especially as Power conference teams get into their conference schedules.
Also, by the same logic, you can say that our football team finished in the Top 25 too, because that’s where they were ranked in the final edition of “the only rankings that matter”. I think you are just trying too hard to be negative to say that we aren’t a Top 25 team when we are ranked in both major polls.
