    Why did CJ Johnson go to Ole Miss?

    You really believe Manny didn't start dealing with Texas until AFTER the bowl game? You really think UT held off on their search until AFTER MSU played in the Gator? You really think certain people didn't know Manny's deal with UT wasn't signed, sealed and delivered well before MSU even left for...

    I got the hint.

    So McCreedy is on Lifestyle this morning and says.......

    I don't know--haven't taken the time to look it up. Besides, it's easier to run with the conspiracy theory if there are no facts in the way to support or discredit it.

    So McCreedy is on Lifestyle this morning and says.......

    Well, before the Moncrief conspriracy comment he was discussing how "political" a lot of the selections are. He cited the fact that, despite having the best skill position corp (and especially WR corp) in the history of the MS All Star roster, neither of the two QB's actually capable of throwing...

    So McCreedy is on Lifestyle this morning and says.......

    He also said that the best two players on the MS roster are MSU commits, so it didn't really sound like a "red & blue glasses" interview. I think everyone who has rated MS HS players, from Rivals to Scout to the CL and so on would agree that Moncrief's omission is "strange"

    Why is Gary Pinkel never

    I married a girl from Missouri, so I've followed Mizzou a bit more than I otherwise would have. What's he's done with that program is really nothing short of amazing. They are at least as hamstrung as OM and MSU in their conference, and in the last6 years he's gone to 2 conference championship...

    Scary

    This statement by Slive should be very worrisome to fans of MSU, OM, ARK, Vandy, USC and UK (bball doesn't matter). For the commisioner of "our" conference to take the position that procedure tops substance is bad enough. When you couple that with the reporting of timelines and the schools (and...

    Bo is HAMMERING home-cooking recruiting.......

    You stopped short of implying that B. Hall was steering players--you just left the rhetorical question of, "how does a school with 60% of it's enrollment supporting MSU send ALL of their players to Ole Miss?" You did go on and imply that Pogue steers players to certain schools and went on to...

    Excellent analysis from NAFOOM...

    I'm very well aware that Sherril had the same philosophy and that resulted in THE MOST successful stretch of MSU football....EVER. The point of the post was to point out that a unified fanbase, regardless of the motivation, is much more powerful in raising the profile of a program thana fanbase...

    Here's another way to handle an injury situation ...

    Judging by the prediction thread, the MSU game versus Memphis this weekend should be about similar to Bama versus SJSU--so why is the cloak & dagger necessary in Starkville?

    Hmmmm....Herbstreit thinking alot alike

    I think they'll lose to UGA and Bama for sure, and could easily lose to any of OM, MSU, Ark, LSU or USC. No doubt the schedule is in their favor, but if they lose 1 or 2 of those at home (and are bad enough to do so), then all of a sudden the games at OM, MSU and Bama look mighty tough.

    Hmmmm....Herbstreit thinking alot alike

    They played their best game in the last game of the year (against their rival). That is the taste of the team that everyone has going into the off-season. Couple that with a supposed stud JUCO transfer that's a "perfect fit" for their offense, and there you go--high expectations. Thereciprocal...

    I got ripped at church for this, am I completely off base?

    Explain how this non-conference schedule: Jacksonville St. (FCS) La-Lafayette @ Tulane Fresno St. Is much/any different than this non-conference schedule: Alcorn St. (FCS) Memphis UAB @ Houston Our permanent rivals our Vanderbilt (OM) and Kentucky (MSU), so that's a wash; we both play the same...

    BUY/SELL - Our Recruiting Rank will be our Final Rank in 2010 Season

    I also think y'all have a great coach, but lets be honest (for both schools), the SEC, and the SECW, is filled with very good and great coaches and coaching staffs(sans Les Miles). To think that any school has a coach and staff that is so far superior to those at the other conference schools...
