What times do these things happen?

The question may be "will they happen" but they are scheduled for 1:00 and 5:00......

Updated forecast looks like they'll get the FB game in but the baseball game could be wet.

Going to be watching on SECN+ unfortunately. Had some family stuff come up and not able to make it for the first time in a good while.

Rain looks to be arriving about 4:00 or so - I would almost prefer we play the doubleheader tomorrow (of 7 innings each) than have the players and pitchers dodge rain all night.

11 am Sunday DH would be the right call.

Yep. No need running through all of the pitchers when tomorrow will have better weather.

With all the people on campus and it being SBW- they gonna play if at all possible

I didn't realize Lee was back. Lee and Pittman are two solid backs to build around at RB.

I know it is spring but I like what I see so far. I think we have some playmakers. This year feels like 2009. I think we find a way to go 6-6 and then build from there.

QBs have both looked good. Best we've looked at QB in a long time.

R2Dawg
04-20-2024, 01:33 PM
And the TE scores. Our O will be much improved.

R2Dawg
04-20-2024, 01:37 PM
Kelly A. is going to be big time in the O. I'm calling it now - 1000 yd WR.

Shapen has better zip and a deep ball than Cowboy Will ever did

100% will could have never made that throw

Shapen would have set all kind of records too with Leach. I think we?re fine at at qb. The other qbs not bad either.

From an athletic standpoint, WR room is upgraded.

Lee and Reese only two offensive starters that were on roster last year.

Especially since he can take off and run if they want to drop everyone 15 yards.

I think this is best we've been on O in a long time. I think D will be OK, may not have any individual stars but as a unit, will be solid.

Treore,Kelly A, and Coleman look explosive but hard to tell considering they are going against 2nd string secondary.

Going to need to find some DB help after Pollack and Kelly Jones. Rogers has been on the receiving side of burnt toast twice this first half.

Cubelic said Craver clocked at 22mph this spring. Tyreek Hill was clocked at 23 for reference.

Didn’t show much other than base stuff, offense should be proficient, threw it and caught it well today against bland defenses. Concerned on defense got beat to much today. 6 wins and a trip to Bham would be a nice year 1 for this bunch.

Just back from the game. Didn't stay for baseball because I think its going to rain.
1. Loved the format! 1's and 2's on O against 1's and 2's on D. That way you can mix and match on both sides of the ball using all players like you would in a real game.
2. Loved the tempo! After every play you could hear people on the maroon sidelines yelling to get up and go. On running plays, several times you would see the wideouts already lined up and ready to go again before the ball carrier even got up off of the ground.
3. Don't know if they showed this on tv but during a lot of the stoppages, Bart and Charlie would interview current and former NFL players from MSU on the jumbotron and they would talk about their time at State. Absolutely brilliant idea with all of the recruits and transfer portal players in attendance! No dumb-ass hotdog eating contest here!

Not much else to say that hasn't already been said. Overall, VERY pleased.

Yeah as spring games go I would give it an A. Lebby and staff are very organized and there's no wasted time.

I caught the last few minutes of the game, and heard Richard Cross talking about the game. Of all people, what was the Ole Miss man doing there? Did he talk about play by play or something like that during the game? Gee whiz!!

Cross calls a lot of games. He's really good at his job.

Yeah sec network books him. As much as I don't like his semi smug attitude he actually does a good job, and doesn't throw shade at us(even though I'm sure he'd like to).

I think Cross is a professional and does a good job doing play by play. I can overlook he's a rebel. He doesn't let it show when he does games for sec net or ESPN.

Yeah it's a credit to him that he doesn't let his rebel side come out on air. He's actually one of the better local play by play guys but I like Charlie and Bart better!

Yes Cross does a decent job calling games involving us. He doesn?t show his ole miss homerisum that much.

But I still haven?t forgiven him for heckling Mullin on the radio during his radio talk show with Matt Wyatt Head to Head. When Mullin was first hired he repeatedly said that he had come to State to win championships. Matt had taken the day off and Cross was doing a phone interview with Mullin. In a heckling tone of voice Cross multiple times asked Mullin what or which championships had Mullin come to State to win. I so badly wanted to reach thru the radio and punch that prick in the throat.

Yeah he's totally different on the talk radio gig. He can be a total butt there.

You are being very diplomatic there CC. Ha! But I do agree that Cross is a professional at his tv gig.
