for not only for Kamario, but for a left tackle to protect him. Rewatching the SC game, we were getting wrecked on that side at times. We cant risk losing the golden goose.

MSU was ready to pay Jordan Seaton $5 million for this year. We got lucky missing out on that alleged opportunity. We will be fine to retain Kamario.
It would help if about another 60% of the Sixpackers would participate in NIL though.
We got lucky by missing on him???

We had like 7 holding and hands to the face penalties on our LT alone on Saturday. Both of them were getting absolutely worked.

If we continue to win and retain Lebby/KT I suspect the money situation is going to take care of itself. And perhaps more importantly, transfers and coaching upgrades will pay us more attention dollar for dollar with Lebby having proven he can win here.

LT gave up how many sacks? LT had a PFF of 70, which isn't bad

I will never understand the mindset of giving money to nil. In theory you’re giving bits and pieces of tuition for a kid that doesn’t belong to you and 90% of the time, there’s no return for YOUR benefit with YOUR money. 🤦‍♂️

It looked like if they didn’t hold or commit a blocking penalty, it was gonna be a sack. Many times.
There was another uncalled holding penalty on one of our long TD passes where the DE was pretty much tackled. Also, there was the strip sack right before the half that could have been a total disaster if it wasn’t waved off due to a defensive hands to the face penalty that had no impact on the play.

Neither of those things shows up in the PFF grades. Our LT position is absolutely a weakness right now, and there will be dire consequences if something doesn’t change in a hurry.

We did not look good at all there. Nor does Jordan Seaton. Against Ole Miss he looked about as bad as guys

Agree. Most of MSU's money comes from TV, so there's that. The average joes don't even make a dent, it's so pointless.

The reality of the situation may be, that we (nor anyone else) is going to be able to go out and consistently find key replacements at places like LT and DL. There's so few difference makers there, and the ones that are will cost more than we can pay. So we best be cultivating our own.

Its easier to pay a LT/DT than to keep paying buyouts for failed coaching hires. Lets do the smart things...

If the ncaa would just let the boosters be the mafia and leave them alone, I would never have a problem with post game $100+ handshakes. I know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing!!! That’s the problem, nobody knows how to shut the **** up anymore and mind their business.

According to a quick google search, MSU has about 150,000 living alumni. If everyone of them gave $100 a year, that would be an additional $15,000,000 which is no small boost to the NIL.
This kind of logic always amuses me.

- If they gave $200 per year, it’d be $30,000,000.

- If the same 150,000 all decided to vote Democrat instead of Republican, Mississippi could become a swing state.

- If they all bought 10 shares of XYZ stock, XYZ stock price would skyrocket 20%.

- If the over 1,000,000 living alumni from Indiana all gave $100 per year, it’d be $100,000,000 towards their NIL.

You can certainly move mountains in any number of areas if you can get tens of thousands of people to all do one specific thing together. But you’re talking about 150,000 unique individuals, none of whom have the same interests, difficulties, or life circumstances. So accomplishing any of those things above is going to be a pipe dream, and thus not worth mentioning as any type of real solution. If anyone ever figured out a way to get a large homogenous group with just one thing in common to do ANYTHING together that they wouldn’t do otherwise, or even 50% of them doing it, we’d have another Hitler on our hands.

My post was just to counter the poster who said all the little guys should just do nothing. I was just pointing out that if we all banded together we could make a difference.
