Take this for what its worth

[tired]

I'm hearing Mullen thinks we can make another run next year. He wants Aeris & the other backs to be hungry & run like they stole something next year like Josh did in 2014.
Take it however you want, just something I'm hearing.

Then why do we see Holloway and Shump so often?

 

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

My take is that's not worth a ****!! Why in the hell would you wait till next year?

 

[tired]

Why did he wait for Josh? Why does he do some of the other **** he does?

2017 has lined up to be a good year.

2017 has lined up to be a good year.

We are going to need to solidify the trenches, we lose a lot of guys there. Which is why we are bringing in so many JUCOs.

I expected some two back sets this year. We haven't seen too many yet.

 

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Because Dan can that's why!

If it is true that Mullen thinks 2017 is going to be a Big year, then I am a little pissed.

Because if 2017 is Big then it will be done by the players that we Currently have now in 2016. Aries Williams and Dontavian Lee are on the bench right now and they have already Redshirted...so why wait?

I hope Dan is thinking more about this season than next season right now.

I'm calling ********. Jrob didn't run well because he didn't play earlier. He ran well because he was the best rb on the team dispite Mullen playing Perkins instead.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

Why don't they run like they stole something this year??? That makes zero sense.

I appreciate you sharing the rumor but your source is wrong.

Dan had the fire last night but he also still had bonehead personnel problems and bogus plays called with them


ETA: Most of those personnel problems were at rb

 

[tired]

I highly doubt this source is wrong. It doesn't mean he's gonna mail in this season, not anymore anyway*, but just has a plan, right or wrong. I agree the other backs should get more pt & stop sending Holloway up the middle over & over. Not sure why Dan can't see what we do.

wait, wait, wait.... Who looked at this years roster after the Spring and didn't agree??? Next years team should be a huge year. The schedule is much more favorable and the experience coming back. All this years team should be working on is learning how to "grind", how to play on the road, fight for 60 minutes. I realize most of that is cliche but seriously, look at the roster. Anybody that understands the game, progression and development would think that this years goal should be getting to ANY bowl game simply getting better as a team. Then, on paper, at least you bring the huge majority of production back next season with a much better home schedule to actually make a run. I do agree some of the rotations the first two games are head scratchers but I kind of thought most of the posters on this board understood that for a a program like ours to actually win in this league, it takes a few "run up" years to get the big season every 4-5 years. This is one those type years. Just learn HOW to win and get ready for next year and maybe even 18 with a few key additions and staying healthy....Now, should a coach look at like this, probably not, but he should recognize development and the future. This concept shouldn't seem so foreign to most of you???

Still don't get what you don't play your better players now. They will get better with reps.

Do you people believe he's trying to save their bodies from getting banged up? I doubt that. Mullen is loyal to Holloway who's a senior. He should play a lot, just not get 8 plays up the middle. In the SEC, 8 plays is huge. Can't waste them.

 

[bulldognation]

As a fan of MSU, the phrase "wait till next year" is a bad memory. First Egg Bowl.... game in Jackson... We lost... The walk of shame back to the car through all the OM fans and what did they say?
"Maybe next year. "
Makes my skin crawl every time I hear that excuse.

There is just enough WHAT IN THE F@CK ??? in this post ..................................

to make it somewhat believable that it came from the mind and/or mouth of merlin.

I'm having trouble w your post dude. A paragraph break will work wonders on message boards..

Are you are saying that "most of us" have trouble with the concept of playing for the future and developing players, while responding to a post about playing the younger, more suitable personnel instead of playing older guys that are less talented naturally?
