Y’all give Mullen zero credit but have MSU as a loss on 90% of these w subpar talent cause he can’t recruit and a new coach...interesting
Most people, including the commentators, think they have improved their coaching greatly and will likely score more points this year.

5-7


Mostly due to the OL/QB play wearing down our defense causing injuries and lack of depth. It's also an entirely new system on both sides of the ball..

CSU- 55-7 hype train starts W
UK- W 34-10
Colo St-L we get caught looking to UT
UT- W We come out focused after an embarrassing loss 24-13
MSU-L their defense is legit 24-10
LSU-L We should've got burrow 27-13
VU- W Turnovers let it be close 17-13
UGA- L. not a chance in hell 34-10
Miz- L Lock exposes our weak secondary due lack of depth 35-27
SCAR-L nail biting loss 17-20
ID-W
FSU- L .Taggart shows why we should've hired him 28-3

But Fitzgerald is ****...and he’s learning a new offense...just playing devils advocate since everyone seems to have backhanded things to say about everything...trying to follow the logic

Here's the logic:

1. fvkk all teams that arent Gators... although it is ok to root for teams playing Clowns or Ass-sniffers; and

2. we dont like poor coaching hires.

?Sabes?

Excellent point...They have a new coach too, unless they had two head coaches there. I guess they mean he cant recruit at UF, but he recruited enough talent there to beat him here...

Charleston So. - W
UK - W
Colo. St - W
@ UT - L
@ Miss. St - L
LSU - L
@ Vandy - W
UGA - L
Mizzou - W
USCe - W
Idaho - W
@ FSU - L

Ive got 7-5 with a possible extra win between LSU and UT. I just dont get the '9 to 10 wins should be easy' narrative with this schedule. I realize the only team on the entire schedule that's good is UGA. I also realize that of the teams that arent good, we are one of the poorer ones.

But hey, the bright side is we play maybe 2 ranked teams the whole year so the automatic mullen ranked loss wont affect us too much. :grin:

How about a bet Nole breath. If Colorado State beats us, I can’t post in the sports section until after NSD in February. If Colorado State loses to us, then you can’t.
I'll pass. You might want to get to a DR. That chafing might get infected if you're not careful

Most people think MSU is going to have one of their best years now that Mullen is no longer their coach, so I guess in that sense he's getting the credit he deserves.

People give Mullen credit for what he did. We just don't think he's the all world coach pumpers think he his and his record and recruiting reflect that. He's struggling at recruiting ATM more than Mac was. That is quite the feat for a coach who's paid $6M and a staff with SEC experience.

You can't make chicken salad with chicken ****. This team still has depth and talent issues and Mullen and Co are average coaches. For instance:


In nine years at Mississippi State, Dan Mullen finished 59-18 (76%) against teams equally as talented or teams he was more talented as.

In the nine years in Starkville, Dan Mullen finished 11-29 (28%) against teams he was less talented than on a four year recruiting composite average. His best year was 2014 where he went 3-1 AMT (against more talent), and you can chalk that up to quarterback play from Dak Prescott.

Just curious where the CSU upset is coming from considering the game will played in that humidity in the Swamp? You think Franks will be that bad or that we have other holes that team will be able to exploit big time?

Actually, sometimes, a person CAN make chicken salad OUT OF chicken ****. I've seen others do it, and once or twice I've been able to do it myself within my profession. I'm looking to Dan to do exactly that this fall.
