Just for the record, Sonny Dykes is coaching SMU tonight in the bowl game

Joe was in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Many keyboard jockeys on here who have bunched their panties up have told us repeatedly about how Moorhead being a Yankee meant there was no way he could establish ties with coaches or mamma's without some good ol' Mississippi boy heppin'. Not to mention Joe hired some devil of a coach who (gasp) played at Old Missus, who would sell us down the river in a moment to help the Lost Cause. If Moorhead had coached the bowl and lost this class - many of the same people criticism him for not coaching the bowl would be apoplectic with rage about how "Moorhead was a terrible hire who knows nothing about recruiting in the SEC."

This game is meaningless. As important as the the 2018 and 2019 classes are, it will pay huge dividends that Moorhead got out on the road like he did, solidified this class, and started making relationships now. And who knows, maybe this team surprises everyone next Saturday and plays with their hair on fire to prove a point to Dan and send the Seniors out with a W.

I would not say it is meaningless. If we somehow can win, we would finish the year ranked and probably start next season top 20. I think our fanbase has taken the position that the game is meaningless bc we have no real hope of winning it. If Mullen stayed and we were in the same game trying to lock down a top 20 ranking, this game would not be meaningless
