    Looks like we dodged a Bullet

    I just find giving coaches credit for top 10 or 25 wins based on preseason rankings, which suck, is highly ridiculous. I think Napier will be fine though.

    Guess the A&M Spread…

    The fact that most here thought A&M would be favored tells you a ton about the lack of objectivity and historical pessimism of our fan base

    Anyone remember Arik Gilbert?

    So few modern offenses utilize the TE in their offense that good TEs have basically like 5 schools to choose from. TEs should absolutely never be 5 stars or even really above a 95 rated player. If TEs were really 5 stars, they play far more lucrative positions like DE & LT, which should fit...

    Another good SEC Shorts this week

    The Dr’s office is a little played out. They need to find new, clever material

    Bowl Projections: post-Week 1

    The bowl pecking order just so stagnant. Leads to the same teams playing in virtually the same bowls every year. Good thing the 12 team playoff could alter this

    Do I dare say, CFB referees

    I’m fairly certain Marc Curles was demoted. That should lead to less cluster 17s immediately.

    Can someone explain the Leach hatred to me?

    People that grew up in Mississippi grew up seeing South Panola, Mike Justice, etc win a lot of football games and that’s the style of football they saw win and that they learned to win with. Leach’s style is very non physical on offense and that style instinctually is something that many in...

    Starkville needs to become the headquarters of a major corporation that the local population grows & the economy diversifies.

    Scott Frost vs Bo Pelini will surprise you

    While true, that doesn't mean that Pelini is better than Frost. The entire program has regressed since Osborne left & each coach before Frost had a better situation to work with.

    The Athletic writers do an SEC draft...

    Same ole crap. With college football only having 3-5 teams that matter in this era (Bama, UGA, Ohio State + two teams that just vaulted up the recruiting rankings), why would they need to know anything about the other 62 or so power 5 schools?

    Should the MS legislature proactively tie State and Ole Miss together?

    Then you’ll have to have a draft or teams 15-20, that currently win 8-9 games a year and sell out 80,000 seat stadiums, will be going 2-10 with no way to recruit out of it, and be drawing 40K within a decade. Then they’ll get kicked out because losers don’t make any money. You’ve got to see...

    Should the MS legislature proactively tie State and Ole Miss together?

    Seems like an awful lot of trouble for very little benefit. We'll be long dead before anything like this occurs. For the foreseeable future, however, the top 20 programs need teams to beat or they'll lose their status. Thus, it's not in their interest to leave

    Should the MS legislature proactively tie State and Ole Miss together?

    They can if they want, but I don't think a super conference is viable unless it's got 50+ teams in it or the 30-40 that get invited decide to have a draft or relegation, which would go against what Alabama, Ohio State, & the super blue bloods want. 30-40 teams under the current structure won't...

    The case for Rogers in the NFL.

    I think Will has a future as an NFL backup because he can go through reads & execute an offense. I watch so much NFL where, even starters, drop their heads & run after the first read isn't there, that surely Will has some value as a dependable backup. He'll never be a starter, but I can...
