Pretty Sure We Could Beat Oregon on A Neutral Field

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

They looked horrible tonight!!!

If Dan game plans like he usually does, I think we would put up 30ish and our D would give em fits all day!!! I MEAN COMMON- THIS IS THE SEC!

HAIL STATE!

[msstate7]

We couldn't beat oklahoma st on a neutral field much less oregon

[engie]

Gotta be a troll...

No one is this dumb

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

We couldn't beat oklahoma st on a neutral field much less oregon

First off- that was the first game of the season. We weren't ready yet.

And I'm not convinced that Oregon is better than OK State.

[bluelightstar]

No way this guy is real

[4Dawgs4Life]

I agree we could pretty much do what Stanford did to them. We could get physical and run the ball the same way. Dak would have a heyday against them.

[Apoplectic]

We couldnt beat bowling green on a neutral field.

[CadaverDawg]

This board is under attack.

[bluelightstar]

These guys are sent here to make ED look ridiculous

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

Sorry guys... not trying to get anyone all upset. I'm just trying to inject some positive thinking on this board.

Everyone has been such a negative nancy lately... thought this could get yall pumped up and excited about our DAWGS!

POSITIVE THINKING CAN DO WONDERS!

[engie]

This place has attracted some serious troll action lately.

We are a 25-30 point underdog against Oregon on a neutral field. No possible way that anyone that's watched us play can possibly imagine that we stay on the field with them.

5 hours ago, this board believed Oregon would take down Bama for the title. Now, they aren't as good as us? Lol

[Dawg61]

I laughed too hard at this. You're off to a great start Apoplectic.

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

I laughed too hard at this. You're off to a great start Apoplectic.

The fact that our fan base is laughing at the fact they THINK we are terrible shows a real problem with our MSU family.

Don't give up on us yet! WE STILL HAVE 4 GAMES LEFT, YALL!

OM is 12-9 under his savior... with one quality win.

I bet they could beat Jacksonville State now though.

Smh.... "His savior" ..... Not funny

[DownwardDawg]

We have got to take our board back. Make me a moderator ED!!! I feel like playing "Whack-A-Mole". (or wack-a-troll)

You should welcome trolls. It bring activity to the board. And I asked this question to everyone on the board, Why do you care? Just don't read their post.

[cheewgumm]

Does their win over us last year count as a quality won? We were 8-4 after all. Our record was better than Florida when we beat them .

[Jack Lambert]

I say we have the talent to beat any team in the Pack 12 but we just can't put four quarters together and it is hard to beat any team that is above average when you do that. I think they will right the ship.

Meh... this place ISN'T jeans page telling you "Only post positive stuff or GTFO". I don't think that the mods would say "only post negative stuff about our program nothing positive, guys"

If you want to boot me for being positive, whatever... but I thought there was a little higher standard here compared to jeanie's page.

Get off the coke dumbass

[DownwardDawg]

OK, I'll play along. Did you watch the 4th quarter? That's what Oregon would do to us for 4 quarters, not just 1 quarter.

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

OK, I'll play along. Did you watch the 4th quarter? That's what Oregon would do to us for 4 quarters, not just 1 quarter.

Look we held OK State to 21 points. That's tied for their lowest total of the year. They have the #15 defense.

So let's say Oregon gets an extra 10 points on a neutral field. Pushes us to 31. It is my HUMBLE OPINION that we would at least put up two touchdowns a half. Puts us at 28 at least.

But here is the thing... our team seeing that we are close to knocking off a national power house would go ALL IN and push to beat them in the 4th quarter.

I think we could pull it off. However, it would help if we had Trooper Taylor on the sidelines for that extra push in the HYPE department.

There is a difference in being positive and being outright stupid.

Example Positive post:
Things haven't gone right this year, but we have some young guys with a lot of potential. Let's see if we can claw and scratch our way to 6 wins this season. Next year things set up nicely. The schedule is better and all these young guys will return with another year of experience. Hopefully Dak will have gotten all the turnovers out of his system and our young WRs will have a better idea of whats going on.


Example Stupid post:
We will beat Oregon on a neutral site.

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

Ok but that's your opinion, Ken. Just sharing mine.

Can I be your Ryu?

[geotop]

I dont think you are trole, I actually was thinking the same thing last night watching the game.

Our defense is as good as Stanford's !!! We run the same power running attack that Stanford runs. This is just good ol smash mouth
bulldawg footbal. an let me tell you what... JFF is gonna get a taste of that tomorrow.

By the way, I arrived in college station this morning on the red eye from Dallas.

Gonna be a whup azzzz . You gotta believe.

because the spread ALWAYS holds up.

Also, you are forgetting the "heart factor".

Our kids have more heart.

So we have all the heart and talent but can't compete for 4 quarters....problem is? All the hype is great RAh rah rah but that doesn't necessarily equal points or production

[engie]

Since when?

Jesus H, someone please ban Sorantable again.

Exactly??

My point is that spreads don't matter. Refresh my memory.... what was the spread for Oregon game last night and what REALLY happened??????

[engie]

Refresh my memory -- when was the last time Dan Mullen won as a 10 point underdog? Seems to me like point spreads matter a helluva lot when the game involves us.

A 4* chance = probable according to Sorantable...http://www.philsteele.com/blogs/2012/Aug12/DBAug1.html

Dear lord, make it stop.

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

Ok, I get what's happening here....

You all think if you bitch and complain enough I will go away. JUST LIKE how you think if you bitch and complain enough Dan Mullen will go away.

Sorry I have a different opinion than most of our "fans" on this board. I just think we can knock around with the big boys in this league and the rest of the country. Sorry I'm not sorry.

[SignalToNoise]

Despite mountains of empirical evidence that says other wise. You really have to try to be so stupid.

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

I have seen no evidence that shows we cannot hang in there with Oregon, AM or Bama.

[BankerDog]

Last time I saw..our "heart" wasn't there against LSU after a missed field goal in the third. You know, when the team quit after they went down?

We just don't have enough horses yet man. There is no way we could step on the field with Oregon and beat them right now. De'Anthony Thomas would have his way with us.

Go home your drunk. Seriously dude like I told you earlier on this thread. COCAINE IS NOT OKAY.

Sit back and relax because unfortunately, you will get all the evidence you need over the next 2 Saturdays.

[JeanPeesSittingDown]

To the person that put a reputation report on my post that said "Your stupid as f--k"

I would like to sit down and discuss the differences in your vs. you're.

You're is a contraction of "you are". If you cannot replace "you are" in the sentence then it is wrong.

Your is a possessive adjective. def.- belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing

Let's see some examples!

"You're dumb as f--k"

"Did you ever find your cowbell before the game?"

Hope this clears things up!

[MarketingBully01]

All I'm saying is Oregon 59 Tennessee 14. Oregon just had one of those let down games like they had last year. They will blow out every other team they play this year. I appreciate your positive mental attitude but Oregon just has too many weapons and their defense is just good enough to be able to blow us out.

Funny Oregon had a let down 2 years in a row against the same team

[CJDAWG85]

Oregon made a lot of mistakes last night. Multiple turnovers in Stanford territory and not converting a 4th down and they still almost came back with 5 mins to go. I like your enthusiasm, but we would not beat Oregon. We just aren't polished and disciplined enough to pull that off... We would have to catch them on a really off day.

[Dawg61]

I have seen no evidence that shows we cannot hang in there with Oregon, AM or Bama.

How about that Mullen has NEVER won a game that had a line of more than +6. Never. He's won only 2 that were +6 exactly. Oregon would be favored by somewhere around 24 points. So more than 3X a line that Mullen has never been able to win. That's enough evidence for me. Idk about you.
