You sir can go straight to hell. And I'm putting you on the secret rebal watchlist.

but again I think we can all agree we were never truly the number 1 team in the nation that year.

I've never heard/seen this statement made before. 17 that noise. Care to clarify that one?

Not Stricklin independently. It's too big of a hire, and he won't be allowed to pull another Rick Ray.

I'm guessing you think Stricklin independently hired Howland?

What is there to clarify? We beat two teams that were very overanked in auburn and am. Both of those fell apart and pretty much fell out of the rankings by seasons end. Then when we played the better teams in the nation like bama we got smashed. Georgia tech then smashed us to end the season. Technically yes we were number 1 for a few weeks then got smashed. I don't see what there is to clarify if you think for a second anybody outside of the msu fan base thought we were the number 1 team in America then you were either high or stupid. I am not trying to be offensive but if you thought we were then that says all I need to know about your football knowledge and you should consider following another sport. To all the Mullen super fans if you thought for a second we were really the number 1 team then you really did drink the kool aid. I hate we people say Mullen took us to number 1. Your right but that's only half the sentence. What happened once we hit the back end of our schedule? Oh yeah we got smashed.

But we were number 1............

People seem to forget how we ended the season losing 3 of last 4 games. (Bama, Ole Miss & G Tech)
We beat three 8-5 teams in A&M, LSU, and Auburn.

It is like the wearing the shorts to the game! First saw like whatever, doesn't mean anything, what difference does it make? But in reality it did! It showed his attitude towards the game and MSU! Looks like his "give a damn" is broke! Hope I am wrong!

I rarely ever feel the urge to post and I was as pissed as the next alum, but to read the nonsense is just to much. We as a fan base obviously have deep insecurities. The hypocrisy and fall in line negative hurd mentality is astounding.
Posters last year discussed we had the greatest talent of qbs State has ever had, but now, they are not SEC talent. Dan doesn't know how to manage them,yet history shows he knows exactly how.

We don't play underclass men is the next puzzling hurd statement. We have 14 on the two deep as underclass men. If anyone cares to research, I would say we have averaged at least 5-6 true freshmen per year, primarily at the skill positions.

Next hurd statement is Mullen has been gone since two years ago. Everyone just washes and repeats the statement as they are in the know; however, doesn't have a clue. Let's fire him and bring in a mid major coach like Freeze, who are posters are obsessed with. Let's just sanction ourselves by hiring a willing to cheat staff to prove State is a power. Hypocrisy.

I do believe without a doubt our existing/previous staff didn't work on the recruiting trail and our depth has been exposed but the Hurd is just to much to take. I'm not a sheep and don't look for silver linings to every situation, but band wagon crap is at an all time high. Let's go hire Saban.***

Go State!

So let me get this straight. In year 8 we lose to a Sun Belt team at home, and you are upset because so many people are negative? Coming into this fall we had the deepest talent at QB that MSU has ever seen, and we end up playing a QB that would ride the pine at a CUSA school for nearly the entire opening game..... and now WE as a fan base harbor deep insecurities? Get that ******* garbage out of here.

We finally get to a point where we expect our football program to preform at a certain level, and sheep like you follow the "hurd" into Lake Mediocrity. Get that **** out of here. If Mullen pulls trash like this again on Saturday and we lose to a pathetic South Carolina team, we will be one step closer to bringing in that Mid Major coach that you reference in that masterpiece I just read.

Exactly people quickly forget how we ended that season. All they care about is for a few short weeks we were technically number 1. Anybody with any sense knew that dream was going to die in Tuscaloosa and Oxford.

I have been saying it and saying it all
over this board to accept that we should fall in line behind Mullen is to accept we are mediocre. If he was going to get us over the hump in the west he would have by now. He still loses to the same people year in and year out. Say what you will about ole miss cheating but freeze figured out to beat bama and lsu much faster than Mullen. Oh wait Mullen never has other than once in Baton Rouge. Just look at his record against the west and ask yourself could we really not do better than that?

I cower just thinking of what you scored on the English portion of the ACT.

20 which is horrible, but a 26 in math, which is why I am in finance. I have an extremely bad habit of not proof reading. The first paper I had at State was on the Jim Crow laws. Typed it out, handed it in. Received it back with a giant F with the following: It's hard to believe someone who grew up in an English speaking culture could write a paper this bad. I almost quit school after my first week.

17 you.

Technically yes we were number 1 for a few weeks then got smashed. I don't see what there is to clarify if you think for a second anybody outside of the msu fan base thought we were the number 1 team in America then you were either high or stupid. I am not trying to be offensive but if you thought we were then that says all I need to know about your football knowledge and you should consider following another sport.

So, technically, we WERE number 1 as voted on by the ACTUAL COMMITTEE WHO DECIDES THAT. But I'm high or stupid if I say we were in fact, number 1? I guess you were shaking your head coming out of the Auburn game in '14, telling everyone we were a sham? And you think we technically didn't deserve to play in the SEC Championship game in '98 either, because we tied with Arkansas... RIGHT???

None of this makes me a Mullen fan, if that's what you're trying to imply. In fact, I don't understand what you're saying, nor do I care - so don't bother. But this is my vow: I don't have many high points in my long history of being a State fan, but I do have those two. And you can take those from me when you pry them from my cold dead heart.

Paint that in maroon and white, ya bastard.

Junction John I am truly sorry that's a high point in your life. That means you have a very sad life and I am truly very sorry for that. Cut it however you wish we were never the number 1 team in the country that year and everybody knew it. Had we played auburn and am at the end of year after they fell apart we wouldn't even being having this conversation. I ask you again what happened down the end of that season? Oh yeah we played the real number 1 team and they beat us like a drum. I am not saying I am a Alabama fan but everybody knew they were going to smash us. Apparently everybody but you. Grasping at straws is grasping at straws. You are the perfect example of a state fan that really doesn't know that much about football. You are concentrating on the tree instead of the forest. The tree being we were number 1 for about ten minutes and honestly had no business at number 1. The forest being the *** whoopings we took down the back end of the schedule. It wasn't just bama we got embarrassed in Oxford and then further embarrassed in Miami. I was there in Miami and watched tech put a foot in our ***. Look I am not trying to be an ******* to you but it's obvious you really don't much about football and maybe your opinions would be be served in a post about tennis or something. Hey tell those stories about the how we were number 1 for ten minutes but please make sure you tell the full story. Make sure you mention how fast we fell from number 1.

Not just Scott Stricklin, like we did with Ray. Other people will be involved in all future hiring decisions after the Ray debacle.

Mullen has done good things for our program, but his time is up at MSU.

Yeah, we're not going to hire another Rick Ray. Fishwater is holding out hopes for Croom 2.0

I love how everybody's response to my posts your an *******. Notice you can't say I am wrong because it's true. Sometimes the truth hurts even if it is something that love. If you really loved it you would want it to get better.

This ain't yo daddy's MSU. If you can't handle being around fans with higher expectations than yours then don't come back.
