    Wow some positive news. I'm sure very quickly there will be some folks on here telling you that this can't be possible.

    Bbbbbbbbut "Fahr Mullin!!!1!!" ??

    Nice find.

    We're a cyclical program, like Iowa. Never gonna reload, but will rebuild & be good enough to make a run for a few years every 3-4 years. Our fans will never see it for what it is, accept it, and enjoy it though. Would rather dump Dan for the football version of Kenny Payne and then after 4 years of suck start looking for another Mullen.

    We are like Kansas St and Iowa and maybe Michigan State, and that's a good thing. But some think we should be Oklahoma or Bama....and that simply ain't happening. Gotta accept your niche & learn to capitalize on it.

    Kind of like we did in '14 and '15..... and '98 and '99. It's reality.

    It's just how Mullen recruits. He tries to find players that may not be the four or five star gem but he finds guys that want to work hard and he develops them. He is not a guy who puts a priority on recruiting players that are rated highly by the recruiting services. This is why I really don't follow football recruiting because odds are good you will be disappointed with the February's but you really can't argue with the results on the field.

    Yep, doesn't mean we have to accept 5-7 seasons, but it does mean we shouldn't have total meltdowns when a 3-star decides to go out of state following the guy who recruited him...

    You guys are melting over a 3 star? Give me a break. With all of the hoopla you guys have been blathering about I at least thought he was a four star. Louisville won't develop him and we know how great Sirmon is at the D.C. Just let him go.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CadaverDawg again.

    Glad you could find something negative for us to ponder on. Keep up the good work. You are an outstanding MSU fan...

    You did it again, Cadaver! Excellent post and the most accurate description I've seen of our program yet! I know people want to win natty's and stuff(me too) but heck after being a State fan for all 52 years of my life, the last 8 have been some of the most enjoyable. Does it mean we should be satisfied and stop trying to get any better? No but it does mean we should be enjoying the fact of where we are now from where we came from. Thanks for bringing a little rationale to the board, Cadaver!

    Nobody thinks we should be Oklahoma, LSU, or Bama

    Many of us are just pointing out that it's the SOS with Mullen and problems never get fixed.

    Lack of OL recruiting
    We only have 2 QB's for next year- 1 a true freshman. Fitz is going to get beat up early next year while we get our new OL situated.
    Back to average at best WR's now that Ross and Wilson are gone.

    We are cyclical because we can't sustain anything. We can't put 3 solid classes together or consistently recruit some good OL players. If we recruited better on the OL- we wouldn't down cycle. A good OL in 2016 and we don't lose to USA or BYU. 7-5 in a down year is the sign of a much better program

    So is this one of "those" lists? Did we finally get into the game of paying for getting on lists?******

    And if you do it long enough you can move beyond it. Just keep your head down and keep on keeping on.
