How bad will the meltdown in our fanbase be? Just getting you guys ready. Our coaches have basically conceded defeat.

I've hit recruiting apathy. I recommend everyone else does to. It'll save you some keystrokes.

My guess is we'll be melted out by signing day. Our pre-melt is pretty impressive for a group of mostly non women and children

It'll be bad. But it'll be no worse than a rugb meltdown when the lead off runner of an opposing team reaches first.

Nothing quite like knowing for over a year that people are going to melt about something -- talking about it and preparing yourself for the whole year -- then melting anyway.

A.J. Brown signs with Alabama and you're looking at a minor meltdown from logical people. A.J. Brown signs with Ole Miss, you're looking at nothing short of a meltdown that would most likely reach nuclear proportions from 75% of logical or delusional people.


For the record, I think losing a kid that could walk to your campus is unacceptable at any level for any school. I dont care if its Rashaan Evans, Tim Williams, A.J. Brown, etc. If you want to win anything, it can not happen.

Brown is not signing with Ole Miss

If he's telling people that, then he's 17ing with them to just 17 with them. He might sign with Bama and I agree it sucks to lose a recruit in your backyard, but Bama has taken plenty of kids from schools backyards with a lot more prestige than State. I still think he signs with State, but Bama gonna Bama.

I really think when Mullen took this job, he never thought he would have to put so much effort into recruiting. I believe he actually thought everyone he called would want to come and play at State. I mean, he was taking over a dismal program that was no more than a couple of years away from extinction. We were about to become a Vandy level football program going forward. No more than 2 seasons away, for sure.

So Dan was the hero. But being in a small, poor state and right in the middle of Tuscaloosa and Oxford afforded no such luxury. He was unfamiliar with the territory, and I think it caught him by surprise. Who the hell else has to deal with recruiting barriers like that? No one else in the country I can think of. We aren't even 100 miles away from either campus and one school happens to have the most successful program going. I would trade locations with Ole Miss any day, just to not be in the middle. It's a built in disadvantage.

You are 100% correct. I had a lot of stuff typed out about the Hudspeth/Mullen relationship and how I think that separation really hurt both of them and State, but it's not worth digging up old bones.

Well, look:

It's not so much about getting the top shelf recruits. It's about finding the kids that really want to be here. After all; These are mostly low-income kids with little to no hope of obtaining a college education. Being an athlete is all they know. What Mullen needs to concentrate on is building character in these young men and helping them to become productive contributing members of society. After all; Is that not the real purpose of athletic programs? We do a much better job at that than any other school in the SEC. And that is much more valuable than any championship.

You might want to check the definition of secondary education. Although one could argue that some of our recruiting territories don't provide much of a secondary education. Looking at you, Delta.

Wow, you really think we will win 9 games next year.. I was thinking more like 7.

To be honest, I was just being a smart ***. I don't think I've put too much effort in to what I think state will do next year. The post was more of a dig at rugb who I'm sure thought the sky was falling and wanted Mullen gone last year too.
