So football got rings for winning egg bowl?

[msstate7]

OM was 5-7 (1-7) this year. We gave rings for beating them? Jeez

Moorhead had to make sure Fitzgerald had something to go in that space he cleared out in the trophy case.

[msstate7]

Did baseball get rings for winning SBW?

[msstate7]

Moorhead had to make sure Fitzgerald had something to go in that space he cleared out in the trophy case.

I owe Moorhead an apology... he lived up to the championship standard, and we have the rings to prove it

[Drugdog]

That’s embarrassing. Moorehead will go down as our second worst coaching hire ever.

[BrunswickDawg]

Didn't some on here bash Dan for not taking the Egg Bowl seriously enough after about 2012? Well Moorhead is damn sure taking it seriously by giving out bling and now people are bashing. Some of y'all just can't be pleased.***

I have no problem with this. Incentivize the hell out of beating them. I like it.

Actually most are just, opinions! Know what I mean?

[vv83]

People complaining about this are beyond out of touch

[Todd4State]

I heard we got rings for beating Jimbo Fisher.

[Dawg2003]

That is just embarrassing. Can you imagine what we'd be saying if Ole Miss did that?

[CadaverDawg]

Rings for beating Mississippi?

[confucius say]

Well we love to complain, so probably smn like "they put more emphasis on the game than we do and that's why they beat us. Luke hates state and will always put a huge emphasis on the egg bowl. Joe better start showing some emotion. Howland too damn it."

How's that?

[Jarius]

Dan Mullen put the attendance of the 2010 spring game as the egg bowl score, said he was never losing to Ole Miss again, had a countdown clock, told everyone that rival schools were making things up about him wanting to leave, called Ole Miss “the school up north”, and claimed winning bowl games like the Liberty Bowl and Music City Bowl as us “winning championships”. Joe Moorhead never says a word about them until it is game week and never stirs up any drama with them that is unnecessary. That ring also has “Outback Bowl” written on it. How dare Joe try to do something nice for his players.

[confucius say]

If we sweep them in baseball I'd be for giving baseball a ring too.

I think we should give a pinky ring for splitting in basketball.

Or if Mullen gave the gators one for beating FSU? Either one would have 12 pages of posts making fun of them

Who cares? This whole thread is ignorant. God forbid the coach does something for the players because fans are too worried about what someone else thinks... Some of you folks need to grow a pair and stop validating your self worth using other people's opinions.

[Dolphus Raymond]

Since they do not have to pay millions in attorney fees to defend us from the NCAA, the MSU Athletic Department to spend the excess cash on something.******

This amazes me. If we lose to them this board melts and wants to clear house but if we beat them in our biggest rivalry game and reward our players with hardware for doing so it's a participation trophy.

I always thought a participation trophy was given to losers to make them feel better. Last I checked we won the egg bowl

[Jack Lambert]

I guess if this is stupid then having a name and a trophy for the game is stupid.

What specifically irks you about the ring. You think beating OM is not important enough to warrant a ring?

[msstate7]

No, I don't. Om was 1-7 in conference play last year.

Why did the ring have outback bowl on it too?

[DownwardDawg]

I have no issue at all with this. Whatever it takes to motivate them to whip that butt every year.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Nipple rings if we lose to them

Nah, Prince Alberta for everyone.

[confucius say]

No, I don't. Om was 1-7 in conference play last year.

So we should only give rings if OM is good?

Vandy and OM are not hated rivals.

[msstate7]

So we should only give rings if OM is good?

Vandy and OM are not hated rivals.

We should never give rings for winning a regular season rivalry game. I don't think we should give rings for anything less than an actual championship. They're called "championship rings" for a reason

[BeardoMSU]

You think beating OM is not important enough to warrant a ring?

What if we went 1-11 and they were our only win? Do we still do the ring thing?

I know they're our rival, and it matters a lot to win that game, but beating them shouldn't define our season. I absolutely hated when Dan would say "he could go 1-11 and as long as our 1 win was OM, he'd be loved"...I just think that makes us look small as hell. Beating your rival IS important, but so is taking steps forward as a program, playing in NYD bowls, access bowls, etc.

My 2 cents.

That's kinda how I think, Beardo... Using non-traditional awards for beating a rival just enhances one's rival, IMO...

[BuckyIsAB****]

Im fine with it. If we wouldve lost yall wouldve wanted to fire him. I guess some people will hate on him no matter what. I promise you the kids loved it

[BeastMan]

Yet another example of Moorehead being a clown show. OM was freaking terrible, we underachieved, and he gave out rings? God he is terrible

[Dawgcap]

I’m not. Screw that. Give a ring for amazing play for the season. I’m like 7 I’m sick of motivation by participation trophies. Produce Excellence and be rewarded by excellence.

[Dawgcap]

My child gets a C in school they ain’t getting a trophy they getting hell from dad! Praise mediocrity you get it. Raise the bar and expectations. Demand it.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Yea lets fire him now....You sound like an 80 year old man right here man. If the kids love it, I love it. If its a big enough game you do something for it, and thats the biggest game of the year every year.

We won. He will be fired soon enough....

[Dawgcap]

You don’t give a ring to someone who made a C when at worst deserved a B. To raise expectations you set higher goals.

Dont jump back on the train if we win this year. Some of yall are wild

Yes.

And I agree it shouldn't define our season. There are bigger things, such as those you mention. But it should always be a top priority to beat them. Always. Anyrhing to incentivize that and make it s big deal, I'm all for it.

Joe can average a 7.1-4.9 regular season here just like dan did and folks will want him gone. That is joes biggest problem.

This is such a false statement. I adjust expectations year-to-year. Last season should've been a 10-win regular season. This season, I expect 6 wins, and won't be mad if we get them.

[Dawgcap]

Yes.

And I agree it shouldn't define our season. There are bigger things, such as those you mention. But it should always be a top priority to beat them. Always. Anyrhing to incentivize that and make it s big deal, I'm all for it.
It’s always great to be a rival but we don’t recruit to beat 1 team. We don’t play to win 1 game. We play to be special and every team should have the same goals. I don’t believe you give special treatment to anyone who was better because of another’s weakness. It’s about rewarding the long haul, the season. Special deseserves special.
While I loved the win and don’t agree with the recognition of 1 game I do still believe in the coaches at this point but I don’t believe any team should be recognized for 1 game I believe it has to be recognized for greatness over a whole year

[Lord McBuckethead]

Participation trophies would be if we lost. We won.

What specifically irks you about the ring. You think beating OM is not important enough to warrant a ring?

Yeah, rings are for 17n championships. Not beating a 1-7 rival. That is what the rival game trophy is for. You want a ring, stop losing 17n games to Bama and everyone else with a pulse.

[Relardo Sidney]

I'm betting MSU had already bought the rings for making the Outback bowl and then Joe decided it was better to label them as Egg Bowl winning rings instead of Outback appearance rings.

[Relardo Sidney]

This is such a false statement. I adjust expectations year-to-year. Last season should've been a 10-win regular season. This season, I expect 6 wins, and won't be mad if we get them.

You've lost your brain if you think post-injury Fitz is a ten win QB. Just stop.

[BeastMan]

We will win 7-8 games this year and people will still bitch about 2018

If he wins 8 next year I’ll be shocked and he’ll regain some fan confidence. I think he’s in the 5-7 range. 7 will keep folks happy enough, 6 will keep his job safe but fan base will be very restless, and 5 will be a shitshow. If anything under 5 happens Cohen’s seat gets warm too.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bitching about this is bitching just to bitch. Some of yall have already dug his grave

Dug his grave? I want to see one iota of progress beyond keeping our d coordinator from one season to the next for the first time in 6 years.

I want to see our offense work.
I want to see our QB complete 60% of his passes.
I want to see our running game work without running the qb 250 times and our best weapon rb 130 times.
I want to see our QB use his athleticism to buy him time to use his arm.

I will tell you what.....you want rings, give it to them after they 17n do something. UM 17n sucks and we lost to Iowa. Gator bowl doesn't mean shit if you lose it and only got there by beating Kansas State.

[Lord McBuckethead]

You've lost your brain if you think post-injury Fitz is a ten win QB. Just stop.

We could have beaten UF and maybe UK to get there.

I could care less about completion percentage or who gets the ball as long as we win. And we will win. Its going to be ok. Moorhead will be fine. You can blame Daniel Mullen for running off the DC's. Mullen's offense didnt piss a drop in a lot of games vs Bama, LSU, either. He also lost to Northwestern in the gator bowl so...

It was the most talented defensive roster. Unfortunately, the offense left a lot to be desired at WR and QB.

Ok. Take dans first year out and it makes him a 7.38-4.62 coach. The 2010 team had every much if not more talent than the 2019 so it is wash by year two of their respective tenures.

Joe can do the same thing and people will want him gone.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Look, we are all ready to get a team together that is ready to compete every game. You do not have to win every game, just compete. We missed the mark last year. Joe has another opportunity this year.

[Dawgcap]

It easy to blame a coaching staff vs the fact we are set up in the West to be last or next to last. We have nowhere near the money facilities or love by the conference. We can dream but we are set up like Mississippi and Arkansas to be lower tier teams in the SEC. And if we rattle the conference cage we will be penalized by key bad calls or investigation by the NCAA. JUst my black helicopter conspiracy thoughts and im guessing im right. We fight about what we need to win the west and I’m gonna say as a 55 yr old man that the 3 I mentioned won’t win the West in the next 20 years

[Relardo Sidney]

No we couldn't have. Kentucky skull****ed us the entire 4th quarter and Florida just kicked FGs all game instead going for TDs. Mullen coulda won that game by 21-28 but didn't wanna show us up.

Using C34's take as your basis for everyone else is an interesting strategy. Fitz actually only won 7 games last year. He's a below average passer, well below average decision maker passing, below average blitz reader and an elite runner but that never wins you 10 games in the SEC as a Qb no matter if Vegas favors you to.

[Relardo Sidney]

With Mullen's ego, that doesn't compute.

He punted the ball three times on our side of the field in the 4th quarter. He knew Fitz couldn't do anything against his defense.

[yjnkdawg]

Dan took over a team that won 4 games... Moorhead took over the most talented roster we?ve possibly ever had. Situations are different.

The people who actually know about what is involved when a coach takes another job (and not from some message board ) said that the situation that JoeMo came in was one of the most difficult ones a coach could come in. The high expectations (some unrealistic) most of us had, and the short time to put a staff together, trying to keep the recruiting class, plus try to add more, early signing period, short time learning and getting to know the players, and what were their strengths and weaknesses and implementing a new offense. Then you don't have the quarterback you need to run it so it has to be watered down. And whether you know it or not that injury to Fitz affected him both mentally and physically . That was a horrific injury. So where Mullen could have done this or that, we don't know. One thing for certain though we didn't hire JoeMo to run a Mullen type offense. We wanted a more wide open unpredictable offense which included down the field passing, and a quarterback proficient in being able to read a defense, and run the JoeMo offense. Well, we didn't have a quarterback available who could do that. So actually Mullen came into a lot lesser pressure situation than JoeMo did.
