That is so 17ing important that our students have a hard time showing up /staying at probably the most important game of this years football season????

Also how about the ones that actually did stay... they built a 500 foot snake out of stinky cups. Of course this drew more attention to the half empty student section.

The most important game of this football season was Florida. Which Moorhead blew. Just like he blew the LSU game by not preparing the offense or the Kentucky game by not taking them seriously.

But whatever. At least we beat a terrible Ole Miss team act like it's a big accomplishment and end up in Memphis. Yipee

I guess we'll at least get to enjoy one last bowl game. The talent will tank dramatically next year and with his game planning, we ain't sniffing 6 next year

The reality of it all is the coaching staff ruined this season. Really not that hard to understand. AFWIW I was there tonight.

Look. You only get so many games as a student and they may not realize it yet but this is really one of the best times of their lives. how you don’t come to this game that can really make this season or even worse the large amount of students that left early is beyond me. If you don’t get that....I can’t help you.
The last two posters giving them a pass because the season is ruined/blown. Really? Not quite up to what I was hoping for but 5 wins (2 over ranked teams) with 3 winnable games left on the schedule....my god how long have you been a state fan? This could still qualify as a top 5% all time season.

Not popular to say on here but I have more faith long term in Moorhead having a successful rebuilding year. Truth is, our wideouts and OL wasn't great going into this season and Fitz and KT are not really good fits for his system. Moorhead trying to run Mullen's system would have been equally a disaster.

All of these rose colored viewing of Mullen and how he would have handled this team. The same Mullen that would have had it's yearly **** the bed moment against Bama (and normally LSU) and lose to any team that was actually a legit top 15 ranked team? That would have likely lost games in November because he's out job hunting? Same Mullen that had questionable personnel choices and play calling and taking his ball and going home when he faced adversity?

What the 17 is wrong with some of you? Like a bunch of sad nerds angry your girlfriend left you and then talking up how much better life would be with her still in your life. Whether people want to admit it or not, the playbook on how to beat Fitz has been written and it didn't start this year. Even still, how many more years did we need to see Mullen drop the ball in recruiting to see our ceiling with him is 7 maybe 8 wins with the possible 10 win season sprinkled in every 5-8 years because we rarely have SEC quality receivers or Olinemen?

Moorhead has shown he's a winner a multiple levels and when our offense starts executing we're pretty damn good. There is only so much scheming we can do around personnel if they can't execute on the field. Ya'll act like we hired John L Smith or Ellis Johnson and we can't pick up a win. Yeah we missed out on a 10 win seasons but guess what, we might be in this same spot if Mullen was still here.

I still don't see the huge drop off next year. The only HUGE lose is Simmons. Everyone else is honestly replaceable and I think we have the guys on board now who can plug in with little to no drop off. I still think the front 7 will be extremely strong if not as strong as this year. The DB's will be better with more experience with Danzler, Smitherman, Cole, Andrews. I'm not exactly sure but don't think we are losing any starters on Off except Fitz. Most of you guys should be giddy with that.

That's the problem with State fans like you. Whenever State has a chance at a 11 or a 12 win season, you're just happy with an 8 win season. That's why we'll always be Mississippi State.

I would say the bigger problem is State fans like you who believe a coach should be fired after seven games. Nobody is saying that 8-4 was what they were hoping for at the beginning of the year, but it’s foolish to suggest that’s a bad season at Mississippi State.

You’re trying too hard and your rebel is showing. Were you guys on a bye or something this week?

There were plenty of fans dressed like empty seats, not just the student section.

8-4 was not a good season this year. Not terrible, but certainly a wasted opportunity made worse by the fact that we lost two games we should have won and our offense basically didn't show up for those two and another that we could have won with an offense with a pulse.

No sense in downplaying that, just like there's no sense in whining the way some have. We hired a coach who has not done well but has shown enough potential to think that he could end up being a good hire. That's not the end of the world. My tentative guess right now is that Moorhead is going to end up being solid, but that we're going to have two or three SEC games a year where a defensive coordinator does something that screws us up and he can't adjust during the game. Or maybe it really is just that he and Fitz don't fit and once he gets a QB that is a better fit for his system, we won't even have that problem.

I totally agree with this statement and it is a disappointment that some of our fans let the team down... in again one of the biggest games of the year. What is a little more disappointing about our student section is THEY LIVE IN STARKVILLE! They aren’t driving 3 hours both ways, hauling kids around and teaching a Sunday School class the next morning. All they have to do is go to the game, go out with friends and sleep late (for the most part, not looking at you, students who wait tables for post game crowds). It is their prerogative as to how they spend their time but I know some will one day regret missing any game at DWS while the ones that stayed made some great memories.

not just the students. I took this pic right before the interception with only like 2-3 minutes left in the game in an 8 point ball game. the crowd was starting to get sparse in the entire stadium in an 8 point game in the 4th quarter against a ranked opponent in the SEC West. I'm not sure what's wrong with people that they can't stay to the end of a game especially a close conference game. I was disappointed in our fans especially after they finally played a very good game on offense.
