    Now We Know Why Danny Kanell was Fired by ESPN



    Ok, lets unpack this point by point:

    - FIU, Maine, Cincinnati, Navy, SMU, Temple, Memphis, Maryland, East Carolina, Austin Peay, South Florida. How can anyone with a straight face say this?

    - According to 247 Sports, MSU has the 25th most talented team in the country & UCF has the 55th most talented team.

    - True. UCF does have 0 losses & MSU 3 losses. MSU would be undefeated with UCF's schedule as well.

    - Ugh, no. As we've discussed in point #2, the talent levels of these two teams is not close. Additionally, due to Mississippi & JUCO recruits being undervalued, I would say upon the eye test, MSU is much closer to having about the 15th most talent in the country than 25th. i.e. Montez Sweat was a 3*, etc. I MEAN.... MONTEZ SWEAT WAS A 17ING 3*. That's the most egregious misranking, but many others on the roster are slightly underrated, which leads to a cumulative affect, of recruitin ranking just being light on MSU on the whole. Many 88s should've been 90s. Many 84s should've been 88s & so on. It's mostly because MS kids aren't seen as much as kids from GA, FL, AL, TX

    I realize that Kanell is hack, but it's stuff like this that forms a ridiculous & inaccurate perception of our program. Search Dan Mullen on twitter if you really want to see how we are viewed. I would argue that MSU has the most inaccurate national perception than any school in the country. How much better would recruiting be if MSU's accurate perception was portrayed?

    I like recruiting ranking & consider them somewhat accurate in predicting program & who is the better team, but, as has been proven time & time again, they are simply light on MS kids & JUCO kids & the result of that is everyone thinking that MSU is a garbage place with Bill Belichick 2.0 coaching them.

    When you combine with a lazy media that has never been to MSU in the last 10 years, you get a situation where the reality of a school & program is completely different than the perception.

    This is why I somehow wish we could get UCF in a bowl game this year.

    Where is Kanell now? I didn't even know the dude still existed lol. He hates the SEC and always seems to hate us because we aren't a blue blood like his beloved "fsu" and how are they doing this season again? He's an idiot and I'm glad his face isn't on the CFP show every week like it used to be. My brother-in-law did his post graduate work at UCF and lives in Orlando. He doesn't attend any games and apparently nobody else does either from the looks of their stadium on game days.

    ETA Oh and that's a really brutal schedule UCF has played, how in the world have they managed to navigate it unscathed****

    The points in that tweet sounds eerily like the same crap spewed before the 2007 Liberty Bowl. UCF was supposed to rum us off the field. Lulz

    Kannell is the heel. That’s just his schtick. But he does actually dislike the SEC. I do too most days.

    Sagarin says State would be favored over UCF on a neutral field.

    I can't see ESPN firing anybody for hating MSU. He must have made inappropriate advances to one of his male colleagues.

    He is the worst. Just hard to explain how bad he is. He has a bad case of little man syndrome against the sec. hard to imagine one so dumb. The schedule is tougher? Just a stop reading there

    He is incompetent. I'm 46 years old. I've never lost a job in my life. The reason is because I produce and get shit done. He lost a job as an NFL QB because he couldn't perform. Then he lost a job at ESPN. Maybe he should focus on being qualified enough and capable enough to hold a steady job.
