Bo Bounds Say MSU is a 5-8 Win Program

[ShotgunDawg]

Awesome having a statewide sport radio guy that brings down the state everyday and would rather promote lower expectations than higher.

Calling MSU a 5-8 win program is absurd.

Well he got the 8 part right lol.

Just saying we win 7 or 8 this year that 9 year average is 8 wins.

[BeardoMSU]

Bo probably still thinks Nebraska and Tennessee are football powerhouses, so his opinion is shit, tbh.

Right on!

[TrapGame]

Bo also said A&M and AU were gonna beat us by double digits. He's as giddy as a school girl that Moorhead has transition issues b/c it feeds his narrative.

Oh, and remember this gem: "Hugh Freeze is the best college recruiter in the country." That one didn't age well.

[Cooterpoot]

I wouldn't **** in Bo's mouth if he was starving to death. His show is terrible and he's a hack.

I have quit him more than Copenhagen, and I always go back to Copenhagen. Can't say the same for Bo this year...Problem is there's really no good competition for him. I listen to Doug n whoever some, but that program isn't too good either.

[Jack Lambert]

I don't listen to him. In fact I have stop listening to any local sports radio. Bo is trying to get to big time and will tote any ones water at ESPN. He is a monkey wrench and I don't give a shit if he sits on his back deck drinking some fancy drink and smoking some fancy cigar. His Preppy, sitting down to pee, arrogant, Candy Ass, Prima Donna life style is not mine. It's amazing he can put a 10 foot ego into his tiny little 5 foot nothing body.

[sleepy dawg]

Not counting this year since it isn't complete, our average wins per season is actually slightly over 8. So we actually average more wins per season than he says our ceiling is.

Bo is all about selling Bo! He sits around on Saturday's waiting on negative things to happen then jumps on Twitter to try and generate controversy to drive calls, tweets and text to his show on Monday. He's a salesman that knows how to push peoples buttons while cashing in from his sponsors. Smart really. Stopped listening to him long ago. But hey, to each its own.

[Liverpooldawg]

I see his name on here all the time but who is Bo Bounds?

[SignalToNoise]

Did he make a recommendation on which beers to drink with those 5-8 wins, or is it listeners choice?

Right On!!!!!!!! He's someone who should've gone to the Mississippi university, he's probably pissed he didn't I guess!

[Johnson85]

I think we probably are a 5-8 win program when we don't have a really good or really bad coach. Mullen was mostly a really good coach but couldn't get out of his way on a few things and couldn't maintain his focus. Hence we barely exceeded the 8 win average.

Granted we've had an unusually stacked defense this year, but while the jury is still out on Moorhead, we've struggled to say the least and we're still going to get to 7 or 8 wins most likely. If we had more normal talent, we'd still be looking at 4 OOC, plus struggling Ark and Ole Miss teams, so we'd still get to 5 or 6 wins with an average SEC quality coach.

Saying a team is a 5-8 win program in the SEC West isn't really knocking them. You have 3 cupcakes each year. Then you have Ark, UM, UK, and a Power 5 OOC that will generally be roughly similarly situated as far as where you should be. Then you have a second SEC East opponent that can swing either way. Then you have Bama, Auburn, LSU, and A&M that have big time advantages.

So a 5-8 win program is one that in a bad year, gets 3 OOC, and then probably gets two out of Ark, UM, UK, and the Power 5 OOC, and probably gets a bad draw from the east or just drops a winnable game. A good year gets three OOC, the Power 5 OOC, and then either sweeps Ark, UM, UK and the second East opponent or catches one of the big four in the west in a down year or just upsets somebody. That seems like a pretty reasonable assessment of where we will be without an above average SEC coach.

[Jarius]

If we finish out the year the way we should we will have finished with at least 9 wins 4 of the past 5 years. He is an idiot.

105.9 has gone downhill since Jay White left. Jay was the only talk guy on that channel who kept sports in prospective.
Bo thinks his listeners care about his adventures to "luxurious" getaways with the likes of Dave Bartoo or how many clients he jacked off this weekend while drinking sweetwater 420 beer.

Also Jake Wimberly show has become just as bad. Who cares what "his" matrix says about who will win the game or having a daily segment devoted to Gardner Minshew because Jake called his high school games.

I wish we had a sports talk show that talked about what his happening in the world of sports without the whole betting lines or how correct they were when they said something 5 years ago.

[Ari Gold]

He is a talking head.. This cat built up Sumlin just a few years ago as the next big thing. Couldn’t get enough of the guy..
He is a clown ..

[ShotgunDawg]

My biggest issue with Bo's assertion is that he uses recruiting rankings to justify everything else, but is failing to use them here. It's like recruiting rankings can only work when they aren't in favor of MSU.

MSU currently is and should be expected to fill a top 25 roster every year by recruiting rankings.

If that happens, then every year MSU should have more talent than it's 4 non-conference opponents, Kentucky, & be of similar talent to Ole Miss & Arkansas when both are operating in a sound fashion.

That's 7 games per year where MSU is not at a meaningful talent disadvantage. Throw in another East opponent like Vandy, South Carolina, or Tennessee & that means that many years MSU has 8 games on their schedule that they shouldn't be at a meaningful talent disadvantage.

Additionally, so long as MSU is adequately coached, of Texas A&M, Auburn, LSU, or Bama, typically MSU will win at least 1 of those games.

I saw all this say that at MSU the expectations for any coach should be a 7-8 wins per year.

When looking at recruiting rankings, Bo is low & it's a disservice to everything that has been accomplished at MSU to say that we are a 5-8 program. We are a 7-8 win program.

For whatever reason, MSU is defined by it's worst seasons & other programs become defined by their best seasons. If MSU wins 8-9 games for 10 straight years & then wins 5 games one year, they are considered a 5 win program. If Tennessee did the same, would anyone consider them a 5 win program?

Old narratives die hard I guess

WINNER, WINNER!!! Tune this dude out. No reason to repeatedly accept his negative bias toward MSU. Even in the 2014 season when Dak was leading us to No. 1, Bo was spewing negative venom.

[RougeDawg]

Why do you keep listening to this clown? Its time people in Mississippi to start speaking with their wallets and stop listening, while also letting his sponsors know why you aren?t buying there because he a clown. How anyone can listen to that is beyond me. I?d rather listen to nails on a chalkboard for 12 hours than 30 seconds of his show.

Some of you bitch on here about our fans being our own worst enemy. No Clue Bounds asks you to hold his beer daily on running down our program.

I actually like the show. I think it has great guests & is pretty high quality. I don't listen to torture myself.

That being said though, I do think his lessening of expectations & always taking the UNDER on all things MSU does a dis-service to this state & MSU. Why would anyone else respect us if our own graduate & MSU fan doesn't?

It's just an attitude that has plagued this school, state, & fan base for entirely too long.

When I feel like he's done that & have actual facts to back up his Eeyore syndrome, then I call him out.

eeyore syndrome
A person that is habitually or chronically depressed, sad, melancholy, gloomy etc., for more days than not. They are over concerned with their problems, no matter how small. They tend to have a round the clock "poor me" attitude. Being around these people has a tendency to "suck the life" out of others.

Unless I have a granddaughter that goes to Bama, I won't listen to Finebaum again.

My odds are considerably more favorable my winning the powerball than her going there, I might add.

I just disagree with him while liking his show. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Bully13]

I'm dry now but like Jack Cristil once said, I've spilled more alcohol than you've drank in your lifetime. And I've enjoyed tons of H-Upmans in my lifetime as well. But anyone who poses like that for a pic is a douche. And I've enjoyed tons of liquor with my H-Upmans. But it's because I enjoyed it personally, it was never to "look cool". 99% of the cigar smoking I do is alone in my back yard while grilling dead animals.

I've never heard a word ever come from his mouth. but that statement about us being a 5-8 team based on the past 10 years and posing in that pic tells me all I need to know about him.

If we go 7-5 Moorheads ass will be as hot as a frying pan all summer. 7-5 would mean losing to OM, La Tech or Arkansas. None of those should be acceptable losses. Bama is an acceptable loss but nobody will be happy about it.

[OrlandoLundie]

Bo is fascinating. He's kept a show on the air for 10+ years with nothing more than anecdotes of of SEC football 1996-2012 and a command of Black Crowes songs.

Who?

I think we probably are a 5-8 win program when we don't have a really good or really bad coach. Mullen was mostly a really good coach but couldn't get out of his way on a few things and couldn't maintain his focus. Hence we barely exceeded the 8 win average.

Granted we've had an unusually stacked defense this year, but while the jury is still out on Moorhead, we've struggled to say the least and we're still going to get to 7 or 8 wins most likely. If we had more normal talent, we'd still be looking at 4 OOC, plus struggling Ark and Ole Miss teams, so we'd still get to 5 or 6 wins with an average SEC quality coach.

Saying a team is a 5-8 win program in the SEC West isn't really knocking them. You have 3 cupcakes each year. Then you have Ark, UM, UK, and a Power 5 OOC that will generally be roughly similarly situated as far as where you should be. Then you have a second SEC East opponent that can swing either way.

So a 5-8 win program is one that in a bad year, gets 3 OOC, and then probably gets two out of Ark, UM, UK, and the Power 5 OOC, and probably gets a bad draw from the east or just drops a winnable game. A good year gets three OOC, the Power 5 OOC, and then either sweeps Ark, UM, UK and the second East opponent or catches one of the big four in the west in a down year or just upsets somebody. That seems like a pretty reasonable assessment of where we will be without an above average SEC coach.

a 6.5 win average team (5-8 program) does not go to 9 straight bowls.

Isn't every program a 5 win program when they don't have a good coach?

Go check the history or USC, Bama, Texas, etc when they don't have a good coach.

Why is MSU judged by when we don't have a good coach rather than when we do?

See the hypocrisy?

Elitedawgs doesn?t hate Bo. We just point out the facts. How does one asshat remain on the air with no more than an amateur knowledge of Jackson Prep School sports? He simply regurgitates articles that other people have already written and have guests on. You could most likely get a mature 5th grader to do the same show for much less $$. Seriously, listen to the show. It?s as if he?s sitting behind a computer with multiple various sports websites reading articles. It?s sad that he is still on the air and that someone with half a brain hasn?t started a real sports show in Mississippi and blown him out of his bourbon barrel.
