Just so I have this straight....

[DawgatAuburn]

If an individual states any concern at all about the Auburn game, he/she is overreacting because we are the better team and will certainly win on Saturday night.
(Which we may well do, but Vegas is at least counting on half the people to believe Auburn will win, and they have a lot more skin in the game than we do.)

If an individual states any concern about Dan Mullen's ability as a head coach (game plan, personnel, recruiting, coaching staff), he/she is overreacting because Mullen is the best coach (or one of the best) we have ever had, we've been to five straight bowls, we were #1 last season, and Mullen is still relatively new to the job.
(Which he may be our best, but that's honestly not saying a lot. Bowls are a dime a dozen for SEC teams, so much so that we almost all dread ending up in the Birmingham Bowl. #1 was awesome and unforgettable and he gets full credit for that magical three game run last year that got us there. And he's now a young head coach into his seventh season.)

If an individual states any concern about our in-state rival's performance so far this season, he/she is overreacting because we don't measure ourselves against them.
(Except when we do. Usually after we beat them, i.e. TSUN and billboards and spring game attendance numbers, but even last year when it was pointed out endlessly that Mullen has finished ahead of Freezus in the West four years running. Whether either side wants to admit it, what one does is important to the other. It's pure foolishness for either side to try and act like they don't care about what the other does. I get that some people take it too far. Does an Ole Miss win impact how OUR season will turn out? No, unless the win is over us.)

The amount of groupthink this week is stunning to me. It's like a visit to Swan Lake back in the day, where any dissenting opinion is shot down. All we need is Gene and Steve over here to delete posts. And ban drt. (Which is not happening, unless we do the unthinkable and lose Saturday night and he becomes an overbearing obnoxious *******, because there's no room for that here.**)

 

[msstate7]

I feel drt's melt is directly tied to OM beating bama rather than feeling auburn is better than us.

Isn't auburn 0-3 vs the spread this year? Seems Vegas has overvalued them

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Yes they are 0-3 ATS and overvalued thus far. Thankfully if there's one thing Vegas is, it's slow learners. It's probably not until later this month when they start setting lines based on actual performance instead of just going on pre-season hype. I mean, it's only money.**

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Well

Nah, only those that are clearly exposing their vaginas'.

Time to man up,

Time to make a stand.

 

[57stratdawg]

I like how this has worn you down over the last 3 to 5 years.

 

[treeddeep]

I like to come here and read and get my thoughts off my chest. There is comfort in going through rough and/or trying times as a fan base. But almost every time someone doesn't pump sunshine they get ridiculed, mocked, and told how dumb they are. It's an odd fan base to be apart of, but I wouldn't ever cheer for another team.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

If State loses Saturday then by all means fire away. I just found it amusing that he posted about 5 or 6 times the same crap.

 

[drt7891]

Wait so saying our team is not good is directly tied to my ability to be a man? Got it.**

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

No Sir, it's just the way you are going about it.

 

[msstate7]

If State loses Saturday then by all means fire away. I just found it amusing that he posted about 5 or 6 times the same crap.

And weren't they all post-OM win? When auburn was getting their spanking and our youngsters were slapping a little directional school, no woe is msu. OM wins huge game and then we're absolutely horrid and auburn is gonna dick slap us

 

[drt7891]

My melt was triggered by a culmination of things, not just them winning. But you are fooling yourself if you think we are on the same level as them. We aren't. They showed us that last November when we thought we'd be OK not covering their all-SEC tight end.

But anyway, people are still talking like Saturday will be easy breezy. Just let me know where to send the fire department.

 

[msstate7]

Dude, you have a problem when om wins. You started melting the same way when they went to the cws... Om's gonna win a title... They hit to well to be stopped... Etc.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yeah they were.

Its been said said by several already, win this game Saturday and you feel a little better. I don't care if Auburn isn't very good. It's on the road that many including myself didn't count as a win. Go in there and lose and it's pointing towards a pretty rough season. State should win this game but will they makes me a little nervous.

 

[drt7891]

I decided to not ***** about the fact our coach thinks it's cool to hoard timeouts after last week. So what if I melted down after they won? It pissed me off. I get tired of people still claiming we are better than them, especially after they *****-slapped us last November and ruined what probably was our only chance in decades to get back to Atlanta. Instead, we decided we didn't care to rush and try to chase their gimpy quarterback around the field and he beat us.

 

[Bulldogg31]

None other than Barrett Sallee himself just said on Finebaum that Auburn might win their remaining non-conference games, and maybe beat Arkansas, but that's it. He's an Auburn guy, btw.

As far as the meltdowns go, you can't expect to come on here and say dumb things (coaching ignorance) and not be dumb.

 

[drt7891]

So you are OK with the delay of game that made a 47 yard field goal a 52 yard field goal? Got it. Thanks for sharing where you stand.

 

[drt7891]

I never said that.

I did say we'd struggle against ULL on elite dawgs and much like here, was called an idiot and was told how wrong I was. I was right and we lost. Which led to me being banned. Granted I was being an ******* about it, but after the replies, I felt it was deserved.

But that's another topic.

Go in there and lose and our season is looking more than pretty rough. Maybe Auburn miraculously turns it around in one week, but if the same Auburn team that played the last three weeks shows up Saturday and beats us, we are looking at worse than a pretty rough season. It looks like we're looking at 3 very likely losses between A&M, Bama, and UM and then 3 toss-ups between Arky, UK, and Mizzou. It will be between us and Arky or the bottom of the West at that point.

 

[DancingRabbit]

5 straight years of finishing with a better conference record than OM

I decided to not ***** about the fact our coach thinks it's cool to hoard timeouts after last week. So what if I melted down after they won? It pissed me off.

Maybe you should give more respect to other people's opinions.

If you want to go in a closet and cry, fine. I had no opinion or replies to your meltdown but it became annoying after 4 or 5 posts saying pretty much the same thing.

 

[MaroonNation]

What happens when we figure out that Bama this year is LSU/A&M last year? That the ReBears astronomical win over The Tahd isn't that special.

 

[drt7891]

When was the last time after an ole miss win I melted down?

 

[drt7891]

I do enjoy a snickers.

 

[drt7891]

I did. But it sounds pretty stupid when you tell your rival you finished ahead of them despite getting embarrassed by them head to head. Don't you think?

 

[DancingRabbit]

It happened to Eli and Coughlin yesterday. Two-time Super Bowl winners.

It was a screw-up. Mullen took responsibility for it, even though it was Dak's screw-up too.

Geez, move on. Sounds like you just want to fight with people and make this board un-readable.

So you are OK with the delay of game that made a 47 yard field goal a 52 yard field goal? Got it. Thanks for sharing where you stand.

Sunday

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

So let me get this straight.. If you think we might have a chance to win but dare to poke a little fun at continual posting of gloom and doom, you are a Swan Lake refugee in need of directions home.

i really get sick of hearing about that place and using it as a throwback in conversation if you don't join and immediately don the sack cloth and ashes.

I have concerns about about playing Auburn at Auburn. You would be stupid not to. But I also have a lot of faith in our offensive ability and Dak.

And eve.n if I WAS convinced we would lose I would not continually post it over and over again.

 

[drt7891]

But you said I melt down every time OM wins? You said I even did when they went to the CWS (which I didn't).

 

[msstate7]

I did. But it sounds pretty stupid when you tell your rival you finished ahead of them despite getting embarrassed by them head to head. Don't you think?

And we beat them the year before playing a 3rd string, freshman qb for 3+ quarters. Homefield is king in this rivalry lately and we have it this year, so I'm not bowing down and calling them daddy like you

 

[msstate7]

But you said I melt down every time OM wins? You said I even did when they went to the CWS (which I didn't).

Ok, not every time... if you do it once though when we win a game, you're embarrassing yourself and state fans everywhere

 

[Bulldogg31]

Bingo.

 

[drt7891]

I want culture change in our program. I want us to play with a damn pride, passion, and aggression in big games. We did against auburn last year in the first half. We did against LSU in the first half. We did in 2009 against OM.

I haven't seen that yet this year. Even last week, we got yards passing and our defense figured some things out in the second half, but we still don't have a running game, we still don't have a secondary, we still have dumb turnovers, we still don't go get turnovers, and we DAMN sure don't play with passion and aggression (like Mullens words constantly say). OM does. Freeze knows how to get them to play that way. They did it last November to us and we got beat (to knock us out of the playoffs and the SECCG). They did Saturday night and they won. And Mullen STILL hasn't beaten Bama. And it absolutely pisses me off.

And if we don't play that way Saturday, we will get beat yet again in a big game.

 

[msstate7]

You know those 2 teams (lsu and auburn) you mentioned us beating beat freeze. How did that happen when freeze always has his team's ready to play?

 

[msstate7]

So you want Mullen fired?

 

[DancingRabbit]

I don't give a **** what you tell them. Your self-loathing is cluttering the

board up.

We have plenty of good things going on. Our coach was Coach of the Year last year. I still think this team will have a good season.

I think we all know how you feel. More of your crying and bitching is nothing but making this about you and making the board unreadable.

I did. But it sounds pretty stupid when you tell your rival you finished ahead of them despite getting embarrassed by them head to head. Don't you think?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

So let me get this straight.. If you think we might have a chance to win but dare to poke a little fun at continual posting of gloom and doom, you are a Swan Lake refugee in need of directions home.

Interesting interpretation. I especially like your use opposite extremes to describe the discussion on here. "Poking a little fun" vs "continual posting of gloom and doom." I'd say both of those are somewhat exaggerated descriptions.

i really get sick of hearing about that place and using it as a throwback in conversation if you don't join and immediately don the sack cloth and ashes.

Using the search feature this board provides, which I find to be horrible but that's another thread, the last usage of "Swan Lake" in that context was last November, probably after either the Bama game or Egg Bowl. Nine months between mentions is too much?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

First point of yours I would just remind of the fact that the hyperbole has always ruled here.

Come to think of it, that applies to the second point as well. I had just hopes after this much time we would not use that term anymore like "Ole Missy", etc.

 

[bulldognation]

Can't you two settle this via PM? Honestly, do you really have to have your *****-fight on display in a thread?

 

[msstate7]

Nah, we like you to have to read it... Or you could you know not read this thread
