I've been going to MSU games since I was 8 years old. I'm 43 now and I seriously don't remember losing this bad to a team and really not feeling anything about it.
I'm just numb, and I'm numb to being numb. Of course the booze helps....
I expected us to lose honestly, but didn't expect us to just look like total ****.
I was looking forward to driving my kids 12 hours to see an MSU game in November, but that's not happening....
Even in the years that we didn't have good records, we had respectable O-lines and D-lines and some running backs that were well utilized.
I just dont see where most players or coaches gave a **** today. Some players looked like they cared, but still didn't play well.
I've ignored the "fire Mullen" stuff so far, because he is indeed the most sucsesful coach we've had. But DAMN he just doesn't give a **** anymore.
He doesn't.
He's a MUCh better coach than Croom (though I loved Croom as a person)
But today we looked as bad as any team under Croom. And worse than a lot of his teams.
So why is that?
I've seen a lot of posts talking about how we would have been happy getting 6 wins in the "old days", and that's absolutely true.
But we at least use to look like we gave a ****, and we just didn't today. Or most of last year.
And our team used to play physical football and play like they gave a ****, and they didn't today. Or most of last year.
And we at least used to pay coaches what you would expect to get with 6 wins, and now we are paying $4mil to a guy who obviouly doesn't give a ****.
I have all gratitude for what Mullen has done for our program, but he's not the person we hired 7 years ago. Or whatever # of years - does it matter?
I agree w/ the announers today who said something like "2 years ago, this was the game that propelled MSU to the #1 spot in the nation, and those days are long gone"
I have defended Mullen for the past 2 years, and have much gratitude for what he's done, but it's time...
We need some new blood. For $4mil a year, we could hire Briles, the Hat, or any other random person who could change things up.
No need to nit-pick about the Rick Ray fiasco - I get that not every hire is good - but we ain't good and we ain't gonna be for a while.
To echo what an earlier post said : At least my Christmas is free, because we ain't going bowling.
Go to hell ole miss.
Aside from that, I just don't care anymore.
