When MSU has beat Auburn.....

[SLUdog]

any year from 1980 to 2014...the Bulldogs had a winning season: 1980, 1981, 1991, 1992, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2012, 2012, 2014.

That's good news.

We went from having a 6-6 year to at least a 7-5 year by beating Auburn tonight.

Who are the other 4 teams are are for certain going to lose to? Just curious.

Nothing is certain, but there are still 4 games against SEC West opponents. If you think AU is not the worst team in the West at the moment, prepare for disappointment. Playing @TAMU and @UPigg will require extraordinary strain. State then has the two best teams at home. 50 y/g on the ground isn't going to cut it against any of those teams.

Why is it so important to some of you guys that we temper our expectations? Why shouldn't I be excited and hopeful for the rest of the season? Why must we shade our collective happiness with your shrouds of doubt and despair?

Stop pissing in our punch bowl.

Yeah I'm past the point where a "winning season" is some great news.
Obviously we're not far enough removed from 3-9 type seasons that I completely take it for granted, but the bar has been raised.
6-6 was always the floor with this team, and would have (would still) qualify as a massive underachievement.

That said, it is a neat stat.

I think the running will continue to get better. Shump is not the answer! The AU defense last night truly called for lots of passing. 2 young / inexperienced corners and a Dak QB.

Then quit whining like a little ***** when you lose a game. Is 7-5 doubt and despair? 8-4? 9-3? Go back to Gene's with your sunshine pumping, sheep.

No sorry, that doesn't play here. I've been consistent in my optimism and support of this team. You've been living in the shade for years. You ain't never happy so carry on.

tne Barners strength is on the DL and their LBs their weakness is their Dbs. So the smart thing is to take your strength(our QB and wideouts against their DBs. Guess 17ing what? It worked

I think LSU could be be the top team in the West...

Nothing is certain, but there are still 4 games against SEC West opponents. If you think AU is not the worst team in the West at the moment, prepare for disappointment. Playing @TAMU and @UPigg will require extraordinary strain. State then has the two best teams at home. 50 y/g on the ground isn't going to cut it against any of those teams.

So if you look at it from that standpoint, we might be the second best team in the West, so I am excited for the remainder of the season. My pessimistic record would be 8-4, my optimistic would be 10-2

 

[Bulldogg31]

Totally agree. There's not a single team on our schedule we can't beat. Not pumping sunshine, it's true.

 

[SLUdog]

The point is that....

beating Auburn means success for MSU historically. In fact, 1994 & 2010 are the only seasons that I can remember that we lost to Auburn and had a winning regular season since 1980. We were 6-6 in 2011 and 2013 in regular seasons.

 

[SLUdog]

I agree that we can beat....

anyone on our schedule. However, I also think Troy is only team on our schedule that is "sure win" left too. Yes, we should beat UK and La Tech at home, but those are not horrible teams. We also appear to be a better team than Mizzou and Ark currently, but those are both on the road. TA&M is a 50/50 game for me. If we are healthy for Bama and OM those are 50/50 games at home. 10-2 is really possible but 7-5 is also.
