Inepitude by Bama, good defense, but we couldn't do anything on offense and it never seemed the game was in doubt.
Got to be impressed by D-Line though. Bama's downfield passing game got exposed tonight. It is not that good. We stacked the box and made them pass and they really couldn't do...
I think that is captured in the comparison
SEC football has changed toward hurry up offenses, which increases the number of plays and possessions in a game. Therefore, the average score has increased, but the average score of the opposing team also increases - because the other team gets more...
I picked the median because as another poster said it is the most common measure of central tendency in statistical testing. I didn't look at mean or mode. I think median comes up first on ms excel.
Croom and Mullen are likely to have the same SEC record for their final two years. 4-4...
Just for fun, here is the median SEC loss (in point differential) for Coaches Sherrill, Croom, and Mullen in their final two years on the job. I'm predicting a 25 point loss to Bama in 2013 because that is the current point spread, and not adding in any loss to Ole Miss at this time.
For fun...
Have you seen Texas A&M's recruiting?
They have a higher average star ranking than Alabama right now - highest in the SEC. Texas A&M is going to be loaded for years and they will get the defense improved with talent and coaching.
This team would lose to 2008 Bama, LSU, OM
Likely we would also lose to Kentucky and Vandy in 2008. Arky would be a tossup. We might beat Tenn this year., but I bet they would be favored over us. We were building depth at every position in 2008 - just look at our team in 2010. I agree that...
Light years? Really? Nice to think we are but reality is different. In 2008, we were 2-6 in the SEC. We will be lucky to be 2-6 in the SEC this year.
We lost to La. Tech at La. Tech that year. We beat Bowling Green by 1 this year and likely would have lost to them at their place.
We lost...
Our success in the past five years has been due to the 2009 recruiting class
which as I have said over and over, is the best ever in MSU history and would be reranked as a top 10 national class for NFL talent.
As subsequent classes came in and were much weaker, and the 2009 class began to move...
You are right, it is not surprising
Wa are just not that talented. Period. Some of us have been saying this season was coming for years. We haven't beaten a team in the top 50 in almost three years. We are simply mediocre and just barely ahead of Kentucky in the SEC. I predict Kentucky...
Here is an another painful walk: This year's team would lose to the 2008 KY team (which lost at Bama by 3), the 2008 OM team, the 2008 La. Tech team at La. Tech, and probably the 2005 KY team.
In 2004, we were horrific. Just like in 2003 and 2002. By 2008 we were much, much better than in...
Pretty pathetic to be viewed this way now. Points out that KY and MSU are a combined 1-13 in their last SEC games, upside is that someone has to win the game.
We have to outrecruit Ole Miss to beat them
And I'm not talking about rankings, I'm talking about actual talent of players on the field. We beat Ole Miss for several years because we had out recruited them in the past and we had better players. We had evaluated better and got better players...
