Taxslayer vs Louisville

[KurtRambis4]

No doubt, our fanbase

had made up their minds long before Joe declared his intentions.

I would have taken the family to Nashville.

I absolutely believe they will at least put more effort into the game than the entire staff did at the Orange Bowl against Ga Tech

This was going to be the case no matter what. The bowl game could be at Davis Wade and it would be maybe 25% full. For better or for worse, our administration and new coach ensured that we would have microscopic attendance at the bowl when it was decided Moorhead wasn’t going to coach in it.

I cannot remember a case where the new coach came in a coached a bowl game. It may have happened, but I don’t remember it.

Moorhead is better served during these next few weeks by recruiting and putting a staff together. This is much more important for our future than this bowl game.

How would it be well served to make him the head coach? He doesn’t know our plays, terminology, or players. He isn’t going to try to install his stuff in a few weeks.

All he could do is make in game decisions like timeouts or going for it on 4th down.

I also disagree with the fact Moorhead not coaching will have any impact on the attendance.

Cutcliffe did it in '98. He led OM to a victory over Texas Tech in Shreveport after Ears pine-boxed himself to Auburn.

I have no issues at all if Moorhead would coach it. The dysfunction has already been done. At least you deal with a guy that can organize and direct players in an offense. It's not like anything Merlinz did that would stump him or that he could not implement and stay the course through Dec. 30.

If Mullen’s ** has a free couple of hours maybe he could pop over and call a few plays. Grantham too....

I agree with everything but the last part. I think attendance will suffer, but by how much is impossible to quantify since we wouldn’t have turned out for the Taxslayer anyway (as others have stated).

Will be cool to see our defense matchup against the defending Heisman winning player. Would have been nice to have Grantham still on board, with his knowledge of the Louisville players.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

Our FB would attend a close game.

We've become spoiled, and aren't going to be traveling far.

I would have gone for sure to Nashville because it’s an awesome city and it’s not 10 hours away. This was the worst bowl possible for State fans this year due to circumstances.
