I just ran into a couple of Bosie State..

[Liverpooldawg]

fans at Shiloh NMP. They were on their way to the game. They didn't sound too confident. Rightly so in my opinion. I wished them luck and told them we would be pulling for them.

[Bully041184]

I don't know much about Boise...is it really suppose to be that bad for them? What's the line? Work has those sites blocked.

ETA: Looked it up on my phone. 9. I personal hope Boise St gives them hell.

[msstate7]

If you were a BSU fan and all you've seen/read is OM hype, would you be confident?

I'm sure Oregon fans would be worried if they didn't know but what they seen/heard

[Covercorner2]

They must watch espn

[RougeDawg]

Boise may not be the BCS buster they were but they return a good but of experience. Pretty much entire okive and SR QB all coming back. They are picked to win their conference and should result in some nice sized splinters for Bucky to gnaw on. Don't be surprised if Boise wins. They may not have the depth to make a full SEC season, but they've shown how well they can play in games like this when they have more than one week to prepare. This game is their SuperBowl. Let's just hope they play like it.

Shiloh's round my neck of the woods. Used to ride my bike around there a lot.

It'll be closer than people think. In the spirit of informative info:

HC: Harsin is Peterson, but 10-12 years younger, and long time BSU guy. He was the OC during their run with Kellen Moore. Left for Texas 3 years ago for a payday to be OC and saved Mack's job. Mack won 5 games and Harsin helped him win 8 & 9 games for 2 years. Had no help from defense ~ Diaz. Then, went to be HC at Ark state where he won 8 games. Now, he's coming home and bringing back the same playcalling that they were so successful with. Expect him to counter Bucky's gimmicks with several of his own.

QB: Returnign their senior dual threat QB who threw 16td/5 ints in a part time role last year. gritty, local kid, smart decisions, etc
WR: Return their top 2 WRs who each caught 77 balls last year. 77 each. One is the outside guy @ 6'3 and the other is a shorter shiftier slot guy. Those 2 combined for 17-18 tds
RB: Return their offensive bellcow in a 6"1 215 power back from Texas. Ran for 1,400 yards and 17-18 tds last year

Biggest thing is their DL though. http://www.idahostatesman.com/2014/08/16/3327424/quantity-quality.html
They return 19 D-Lineman. So, tons of bodies and guys who are in shape and relentless. This is going to be the key as they should be able to get penetration.

I think they also return an all conference DB or two.

I'm not sure about their OL, but I do think OM's DL is vastly overrated so it shouldn't be that much of a difference.

Boise still Boise and Boise has more wins than everybody else the last 10 years.

I doubt it is going to happen, but what a gut punch that would be to start the season.

[dawgs]

Boise returns 15 or 16 starters (last year they returned 9), and most predictions have them getting back to double digit Ws. I understand their fans are down losing Peterson, but the new HC was his former right hand man, so the system isn't gonna change drastically.

I'd be fairly surprised if Boise and/or the rajun Cajuns (2nd most experienced team returning in the country) aren't in position to beat ole miss.

This is the most talented OM team of my lifetime. 8 preseason All-SEC performers. They should beat Boise by 21+ and anything less would be a huge disappointment. Looking forward to them packing out the Ga Dome in what's basically a home game for them...

Eli was a great player on an average team. They beat top 10 LSU last year. Obviously, most talented OM team of the past 30 years. No excuse not to win 11 after the bowl...

They've closed the upper deck in the Ga Dome for that game. It's going to be a ghost town in there. That part should have been a dead give-away.

This is a fair assessment. This is as much talent as I have ever seen for them. That being said I would be surprised if they won more than 8 games. If we can somehow match there intensity and pull off the egg bowl at there place, this would be a nail in the coffin. The fan base would turn on Buckey and they would spiral IMO. Golden opportunity we have to bury them this year if things go our way.

Jesus H., most talented? Based on what? Class rankings or on field performance. If you take results and experience, they are not the most talented OM team ever. Keep star gazing.....

I'm going to give you the benefit of doubt and assume you didn't watch OM play LSU. If you had watched you would have clearly seen, like the blind man in club level, that LSU should have won by 20+ points. Mett threw 3, let me repeat 3, picks into the endzone when LSU was about to score. OM won by three. 3.... 3. I hope you can perform the simple math to see how bad OM should have lost that one. Mett had his worst game of his collegiate career, yet you see OM as giant killers because of it. I'm seriously debating if you are just writing this stupid shit to get responses. No way a logical thinking human who watched that game and OM last year, could say this is the most talented OM team. Lay off the shrooms.

[Statefan]

Come on guys, what engie is saying is pretty clear

Mississippi has one of the most talented rosters this state has ever seen. Preseason all Americans at every position, 5 star recruits being relegated to the bench in favor of other five star recruits, the next Brett Favre in Bo Wallace. Not to mention Treadwell and the brothers Nkemdiche have kept Saban and Miles up for weeks -- even the OBC can't sleep thinking about the eventual matchup in Atlanta.

I could coach that team to 11 wins with all the talent they have... But they have an offensive maestro in Freeze who will score 40 ppg and a salty defense that will shut everyone else down

It sure would be disappointing if he only won less than 10 this year. A unimaginable tragedy really with all that talent and depth and superior coaching. Especially if they lose to us for the 5th time in 6th years...

[Noxdog]

This thread is pure gold. Engine trolls hard and several take it hook, line & sinker! Statefan adds the capper.

Everyone is so quick to ask for bannings, so how about banning those who have no sense of sarcasm? Seriously, this board needs to install a sarcasm meter for the sarcastically challenged.

I think the speed Ole Missus has- especially on that turf- will give Boise problems. Boise is going to get behind- they need to stay patient and keep being physical. They can wear down Ole Missus if they stay patient.

But it this is the most talented Ole Missus team I've evahhh seen- so it will probably be a blowout

Oh wait, we had our 3rd string true Freshman playing QB and held their mighty offense to 3 points. Mizzou (undertalented also) held those bitches in check also.

How can y'all expect people to detect the sarcasm without the asterisks? I knew he was but I am also familiar with Engie's posting habits/style/personality. If you don't want people to get confused when you're being sarcastic use asterisks. When you don't and they do get confused and then you blast them for being an idiot. Well you're just being an asshole at that point. People aren't mind readers. They can only read what you put and take it for what it says as being what you meant and not sarcasm. Expecting people to detect your sarcasm is being quite cun+y imo. Now that said I am guilty of this myself so don't throw stones in a glass house myself included. When you don't use asterisks you have taken away your right to call people stupid because it's fu@king stupid to expect people to detect your sarcasm without them.

Sometimes it is just so obvious.

I mean, consider the nature of this board. Would anyone here, anyone at all, heap that much praise on them? They'll be a pretty good team and have a handful of great players, but no one here believes that they will be world beaters, much less challenge for the west crown. When it is that obvious, you really have no excuse.

While we are not the frothing Jim Jones-esque lunatics that the OM boards portray us as, we certainly have no love for Ole Miss and none of us think that they are a double digit win team. Even those who are leaning in that direction because they are stuck in the poor ole missy state mindset, they don't ever do it with any enthusiasm.

No. That post was for real. The ones you idiots are still arguing against were the sarcasm...

Here's the deal. This board was formed to allow MSU people to post/discuss things between themselves. It was also formed to help them THINK for themselves by allowing MSU fans to set their own perception. This was necessary because FAR too many MSU fans allow "OM fans" to set their perception of MSU for them. As long as this continues on any level whatsoever -- we are eternally their BITCH no matter how many times we beat them.

So -- what is more advantageous for MSU -- pointing to OM's "reality" which is very similar to ours and in which they likely reach their goals again and consider themselves still on the path to eventually destroy us thus staying on the high horse. Or playing into the hype -- helping them believe it, when they only need a LITTLE push for this in general -- and then watching them jump from the cliff and quit on another coach when reality hits? You tell me.

If I put sarcasterisks -- that makes the sarcasm obvious to EVERYONE -- and doesn't allow the post to have it's desired effect. I had hoped ELITEdawgs were smart enough to see what I was doing and reason through the goal -- but obviously it was a gross overestimation.
