Ole Miss owns us.

[GhostOfJackie]

Here's why:

1. They have crushed us on the football field 2 years in a row.
2. They crushed us in all of the big 3 sports last year.
3. Their coach wants to stay (we're not sure if ours does)
4. Their coach knows how to recruit, ours doesn't
5. They sign 5 of the top 10 talents in the state. We sign 2 and they were #9 and #10 (our state right?)
6. The talent gap between us and them is growing
7. They hold assistants longer than we do.
8. They just won a Sugar Bowl, we get crushed in our New Years Bowl
9. AJ Brown hurts real real bad. Mullen really screwed this one up.

What else?

Some of you can keep turning a blind eye to it, but that won't make it any better. We have to do what it takes to swing momentum back in our favor.

We should have a big advantage next year assuming we don't screw things up. What makes this class sting is it could have been 3 straight top 15-20 classes after next year. Especially when you consider to numerous advantages we had with players like AJ Brown, Lashley, and Knott.

 

[MarkDallas]

My hatred for them is so bad that I cannot enjoy college sports without beating them at least half the time. That is my problem though. I either need to get over it or find a new hobby.

 

[rugbdawg]

Wanna know how bad it's gonna get? Ole Miss signed 16, 4 stars today...we have

signed 20 over the past four years (2013-2016) COMBINED. This is per Scout.

We are getting left in the dust and it's because we have a head man that is too conceited to recruit.

We heard the same thing last year. Until Mullen proves he can land talent sitting in his own back yard, then I have no reason to think we will ever get to where we want to be.

And we still have folks over here telling us "It's all going to be OK, Mullen is a developer of talent".

Real talent would have gone to Miami and taken care of business. Real talent would have caught that 2 point conversion pass against LSU. Real talent would not have gotten hammered by your instate rival for 2 years in a row.

I had pretty much given over to what Dan said when he first came here, that we were going to win with Mississippi kids and we would recruit the best players in "Our State". And I figured Ole Miss would get kids from Univ. of South Panola and get highly ranked out of state kids like Threadwell (Illinois), Tunsil (Florida), and Nkemdiche (Georgia).

But this current recruiting situation is ridiculous. Forget "Our State" we are not even guaranteed to get kids from our own town or the Golden Triangle!

He's hell on the Sunbelt, CUSA, and whatever flopping fish we draw from the eastern division though.

Last year's class was a top 20 class with 4 of the top 5 according to 247. I understand the frustration, but it's not like ever one of his classes has been 30 or worse.

They are definitely winning the mental game too. Look at how State fans handle adversity versus how they do.

Embarrassing.

What adversity have they had?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

They just got a release of 30+ allegations in their sports programs Friday before signing. State fans would be running each other over to **** on every STATE coach and administrator.

Ole Miss fans unite. So now they will
not only get to enjoy and celebrate a great class but ALSO get to watch their rival flip ****.

They are dominating the mental game.

To add. When we were kicking their *** on they went and did something about it too. I just hope we do the same and learn from this.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Well by all means carry your *** over there and be one of them if you dont like it on this side of the fence.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Wow.
no thanks though. I'm sorry I interrupted the ***** session.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

agree 100% It's time all the Mullen followers stop the act and face the 17'n facts! He needs to go now for sure!

 

[dawgdr]

They dont care about the 30 allegatioms because they knew they were still gomma sign 16 4 stars. Give me a 17n break. Time for Mullen to play game Or go somewhere else.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

I just get tired of people talking about our fanbase, particularly in comparison to Ole Miss's. Everything is always over-inflated. Our people seem to take pride in posting about how bad our fanbase is as if they have it all figured out while posting a negative comment about our fanbase. Oh the irony. And meanwhile, if you are to believe some of our fans, Ole Miss has a super secret GroupMe account with every single fan with Freeze and Bjork telling them how to reply to every story posted and every rumor that surfaces. It's ridiculous. Fans are fans and people are people. If an actual social science researcher studied the two, I'd bet dollars to donuts there's not a microhair of a difference between the two.

Not questioning your Bulldogishness. You are certainly no Sandman.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I don't like many of the opinions I read here either. I'm not saying I like the ole miss way. I'm saying we have to adapt. Things are different now. Adapt and change or be passed.

I'm kinda surprised my post drew that reaction from you.

And I'm not sure I get the no Sandman comment but you won't find me on Twitter and FB. Probably on LinkedIn though if you need any verification.

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

This^ They new they still had the recuirts onboard either way

Don't forget the 2 5 stars

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Ok you can have a break. And a Bp pill.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Sandman is signed up on some other websites, more personal than professional.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Oh. Haha. I gotcha.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

But, but, but we are winning the games we are supposed to and going to a bowl**

Now remember!!! We should just be grateful that we are going to a bowl** (one of the 40 bowl games they have now, where you don't need a winning record for a birth).

MSU has come such a long way**

While Dan collects his checks and waits for another greener pasture to come calling, our team collects wins against cupcakes and just goes to a bowl (Independence or Music City most likely)

 

[Shamoan]

the fact that we are getting our asses handed to us is undeniable. what we do about it is the question and i have my doubts given the puss-assedness of our assistants and compliance.

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

Answer me this, what we have done to improve our situation?

As you so eluded to in your coddling Ole Miss reference above. They have improved their situation. What have we done? We have a coach that cannot recruit and is dying to get out of Vegas. I'll hang up and listen

 

[Shamoan]

hell, they have an argument for oktibbeha county.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Just because I am not all emotional like you doesn't mean I am coddling Ole Miss. I 17ing hate ole miss. That's why I am pissed they are going to enjoy our reaction. I personally am denying them the satisfaction of freaking out on a public forum or in their presence.

And I don't know what we are doing. Whatever it is it isn't what's needed apparently.

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

Claims the guy that said.."17 you AJ" less than an hr ago. Keep up the good work

Might wanna come down from that high horse a bit

We all have our moments buddy. Go be combative with someone else huckleberry.

 

[ThisIsAMaroonState]

Yes they do.
