I don't think the issue is flashy. It's putting the cart before the horse. Win football games and you can dress as flashy as you want.This will be a good thing. I know some of you don't get it due to growing up during the Great Depression, but it's ok to be flashy from time to time.
If Trask came in and led us to a miracle win against UGA I think law would be absolutely miserable, and that’s pretty sad.
I know Law. He uses SOS as a comparison for just about every coach who came behind him.
We wore the putrid all-orange Clemson look throughout the 1980s. Pell brought it with him and Hall decided not to change when Pell was fired in '84. I don't know about you, but I hated it. We're the orange and blue Florida Gators, not some paid advertisement for fruit that grows on trees.
Spurrier would have none of fake grass or looking like Clemson. He was determined to restore dignity and tradition to the program. He had the university tear up Florida Field and we went back to the traditional blue jerseys. We became winners again, doing so with the potent vertical passing game so many of us came to associate Florida football with.
What Mullen's doing makes sense from a recruiting standpoint, but the (no pun) optics are questionable in the face of a slow recruiting start. The uni talk smacks of hollow gimmickry.
Law and many others are the proverbial state of Missouri. You're gonna have to prove it to them on the field before they jump on the bandwagon. When you think about it, isn't that the way it should be?
I’m not wasting my time worrying about future recruiting classes and things like that because they are totally meaningless until we see this team actually play.
The question is, if we play well will people like law and MJM give props to the coaching staff? I don’t think they will.

I believe in being optimistic until players or coaches give you a reason not to be. Like it or not, Mullen was hired and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in an extremely difficult situation. I’m excited for the season.
Yes, I think this year is a throwaway. I dont expect anyone can salvage much w what he was handed.The question is, if we play well will people like law and MJM give props to the coaching staff? I don’t think they will.
Winning 9 or 10 games with what he was left is how much bigger accomplishment. Butters was left a strong defense and some offensive pieces. Mullinz was left a pair of CBs and a rush end hybrid.I am at the top of that list OX and the answer is YES. If Cousin Eddie proves our opinion of him wrong, we will admit it! But winning 9 games the way Butters won 9 games does not count. Worst 9 win teams I have ever seen. The entire process is what we care about!
I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised at the product on the field this year. Not world beaters, but a disciplined, stronger team. I think we're done being embarrassed out there.Yes, I think this year is a throwaway. I dont expect anyone can salvage much w what he was handed.
Why you lumping me in with the Mullen haters? I’ve said numerous times we should give him 4-5 years because of the sh*t show he was handed. I’m simply keeping my immediate expectations low because I know what he’s got to work with. It’ll be great if he’s able to make a drastic turnaround in year one, but I don’t think Saban could win 8 games with this roster. Why would I saddle Mullen with unrealistic expectations?I’m not wasting my time worrying about future recruiting classes and things like that because they are totally meaningless until we see this team actually play.

I do. Easily. The SEC is in the toilet.I don’t think Saban could win 8 games with this roster.
We’re in the septic tank.I do. Easily. The SEC is in the toilet.
Such yellow manure. Who is better? Missouri? Kentucky? Vandy? Tennessee? Even LSU and FSU are extremely beatable this season.We’re in the septic tank.
YesSuch yellow manure. Who is better? Missouri? Kentucky? Vandy?
I suffered through the 70s and 80s, Zook, Mushchamp and Mac. I can endure another year.
If you really believe that, there's certainly no reason to even bother watching the games.
