    OT: Google Finance

    Google SPY if you just want to know what the S&P did that day. It is an ETF that tracks the S&P. You can also look up ^GSPC in Yahoo Finance if you want info on the actual index.

    July College Football Thread

    I've seen State play in 13 of 14 SEC stadiums. Tennessee 2019 will make 14 of 14. Kyle Field and Sanford Stadium are my favorite SEC road venues.

    Greatest single run

    19 Year Baseball Comparison

    The most telling number to me is 1 CWS in 46 years vs. 9. They ended a 41 year CWS drought in 2014. Our longest drought ever is 8 years (1999-2006).

    Welcome to SPS, how tough are you?

    Tried to think of one not already mentioned: I was in Fayetteville in 1997 when we were ranked #15 and controlled our destiny to Atlanta with 2 games left and scored 7 points and lost to a 3-6 team.

    I was thinking about Dan Mullins during my morning constitutional...

    If the argument is Mullen had the best facilities of any State coach and recruited the best talent of any State coach, I agree. The argument I disagree with is that Mullen was a bad recruiter. I'd be interested to see someone provide objective evidence for this claim.

    You're right: Mullen came into a really difficult recruiting situation. Which period of Mississippi State football had better recruiting than 2009-17?

    To be honest, I don't put a lot of stock in recruiting rankings. I reference those numbers because I know a lot of people do. I look at which other schools offered our players and production on the field. 2009-17 was the most talented and successful period for Mississippi State football in my...
