[ZedFedder]

Was hoping for flying m.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Was hoping for the black uni's again.

[FISHDAWG]

I think we need to show our identity in the bowl games and I like the Maroon for that .... The black uni's and flying M are kinda cool but it's not our identity

[TheLostDawg]

It should be for football like M over S "is for baseball"

[drummerdawg]

It should be for football like M over S "is for baseball"

MSJ should be our football identity

[The Federalist Engineer]

We're probably looking at a 52 game SEC schedule that should be announced soon. 56 games total in all likelihood. Not sure who the four OOC games will be against.

Look for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then Sunday format. Possibly Saturday DH in some instances as well.

I hope we play more than 4 OCC games. That would hurt small programs and damage the game. Lemonis has supported the traditional schedule - I see a tweet from Manieri saying differently, but I think it would be bad to play so few OCC games

Yeah, they have managed to screw up college football by creating a huge gap b/t the blue bloods and non blue bloods. It seems like college baseball has had a lot of wind at it’s back the last few years but a conference only schedule could endanger some of the smaller programs which could have long term consequences. They need to be propping up these smaller schools, especially when it comes to baseball.

[Todd4State]

I agree. I just wind if the OOC games will be the Governor's Cup and USM, Memphis, and whoever in Biloxi.

[msu15]

That gray stripe is so hideous

[Santiago]

It should be for football like M over S "is for baseball"

Agree, the Flying M would be great identity in football.
Anything but the current Mstate.

[Saltydog]

A 52 game SEC schedule is going to be very taxing on SEC pitching staffs but our staff is deep and should be one of the better ones in the league so we should be o.k.

Wow, so they are going to ask SEC baseball teams, when they go on the road, to stay for 4 days at the location to get the series in? That seems a bit much to me but whatever.

[Todd4State]

I suppose so. It's actually not that much different than say we go to Baton Rouge for a weekend series and then stay in Biloxi Tuesday night before to play South Alabama or going to Oxford for the weekend series and playing Memphis on a Tuesday before that series. That probably happens at least 2-3 times a year for the baseball team- conservatively. I imagine there will be a lot of online classes too.

[Todd4State]

MSJ should be our football identity

What he said!

I think it's complete BS that we can't have MSJ or the interlocking MSU on our helmets in some modern Adidas form once or twice a year.

[Randolph Dupree]

Was Eagan the guy that passed out in the dugout a couple of years ago?

[Saltydog]

Yes, it was during the regional or SR........

[BrunswickDawg]

I hope we play more than 4 OCC games. That would hurt small programs and damage the game. Lemonis has supported the traditional schedule - I see a tweet from Manieri saying differently, but I think it would be bad to play so few OCC games

That's not on the SEC - most of the smaller conferences have already decided to go conference games only and/or have limited their own OOC schedules.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

It?s basically a club sport anyway.... it would be a blessing to 90% of the NCAA schools to drop it.

[speedy1972]

That gray stripe is so hideous

I agree with you! Gray and white are too much the same color. Either have two white stripes with maroon in the middle or do what BYU does and use three stripes that have a variance in the middle stripe width. Looks cool to me....

[was21]

Looks great to me

[Jack Lambert]

White or Maroon trousers?

[Maroonthirteen]

Agree, the Flying M would be great identity in football.
Anything but the current Mstate.

A block generic M with an arrow is some how better than a bold M with a State banner?????

I don't get the hate that comes from a lot of State fans regarding the MState logo.

[RocketDawg]

I think we need to show our identity in the bowl games and I like the Maroon for that .... The black uni's and flying M are kinda cool but it's not our identity

The Flying M was our identity for a long time. Would've been good to have it for this game since it's sponsored by Lockheed-Martin.

I don't hate the MState logo. I wish we'd stick with maroon & white (the gray stripe is OK, as are the silver pants) - but I'll admit the black uniforms we had for our last game looked pretty good (much better than any of our alternate uniforms have looked since we started using them, IMO).

[Dogbone]

White or Maroon trousers?

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

[schddog72]

White or Maroon trousers?

ANYTHING but those horrible sno-cone helmets!!!

[Dogbone]

ANYTHING but those horrible sno-cone helmets!!!

I agree!!!!

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

The black unis admittedly looked awesome. You can bring those out every blue moon but not something with regularity

[The Federalist Engineer]

That's not on the SEC - most of the smaller conferences have already decided to go conference games only and/or have limited their own OOC schedules.

I'm thinking Sun Belt and CUSA and SWAC. I'm sure the Northern small schools may have difficulties in Southern Swings for a month. Like Sacred Heart from Connecticut or Holy Cross from Massachusetts.

So, I'm talking Memphis, UAB, Alcorn, South Alabama, Jackson State, Southern Miss, Tulane, LA Monroe, etc.

Plus, these games are valuable for the pitching staff. You can afford to ease-in a Freshman that might get tagged a bit. Heck we lost to Texas Southern with KC Hunt getting shelled, but I bet it was valuable to KC Hunt.

Pie in the sky thinking - with huge rosters - you can almost create two bubbles - with bubble switch protocol. The Midweek team and the SEC Weekend Team. To the connoisseurs, those Midweek games would be bad-ass and valuable to the younger kids. They get to play and be the stars. English soccer teams are doing this with their U-23 teams, separate bubbles

[msbulldog]

It?s basically a club sport anyway.... it would be a blessing to 90% of the NCAA schools to drop it.

Yep a club sport we play in a 41 million dollar facility. Flank off.

We did that with our shop crew, made 2 crews working alternate weeks with no interaction. We did this for first 6 weeks of this crisis.

I don't get the hate that comes from a lot of State fans regarding the MState logo.

For me at least, the fact that we literally copied the graphic from Marshall ( I heard we even asked their SID for information on the graphic) and made the Mstate logo is a big reason to hate it. Then the university forcing the copied logo onto everything. Just a sign of laziness to copy from another school and then mass market it as your own. Every time I see the Mstate it reminds me of a reflection of laziness and lack of creativity at the time. Thank goodness Polk or whoever on the baseball side of things balked at allowing it on the baseball uniforms, even though there was a season or so where the university tried it.

The Flying M at least derived from the academic side of the university and has history and meaning. Allows the conversation of the logo to involve MSU academics and involvement in the space program.

The Flying M is unique as a logo, whereas the Mstate is a graphic type seen by a few other schools also. Iowa State, Marshall come to mind quickly.

The uniform of the Flying M, not even the helmet, looked good. Clean and simple. Seeing the All American and All SEC announcements of players and snapshots of them playing in that uniform look good.

No offense, but we started using the MState in basketball at least as early as '96, and started putting on the 50 yard line in 1997. Marshall didn't adopt a logo with the M and a bar with "The Herd" on it until 2001.

Marshall Track, not the Thundering Herd .
The idea came from it.
But it does lead into a good question of how did several universities start using the same clip art type graphic. Not that I researched all of them, but odd that others also have it as well.
It just is not very unique.
The last Saturday of games, Iowa State with their Banner Istate and black uniforms looked similar to our black uniforms being worn on same day. Just a couple of state schools wearing black and with the same Banner State over their letter.
That is my soap box I guess for logos, ha, so I appreciate the conversation about it actually.
Flying M seem to me more unique.

My bad, coming off the top of my head (mistake), maybe that was the original figure???

I don't care for the stripes on the shoulders, but that's just me.

[Cooterpoot]

All maroon. How Russell Athletics of us.

Track? Never would have thought that. As for everyone using the same look - that's easy. "Creative" firms and consultants aren't all that "creative" and original. They copy what works and what is perceived as popular.

I love the Flying M - but I also understand how it isn't readily apparent that it is Mississippi State. I think "State" schools always have a harder time with branding and logos then the "University of ...." schools that get to use a simple letter (Michigan, Georgia, Florida, etc). I think that is why so many people identify with the M over S and the interlocking MSU of the later 90s - you see that on a baseball cap and you know who it is immediately who it is.

[Cooterpoot]

Flying M is trash. JMO

[Bdawg]

Let's go! What's a start!! Freshman looking good and so is run game.

[chef dixon]

7-0, great start.

[BrunswickDawg]

Great return Tulu and great play calls for Will

[RocketDawg]

The boys are looking really good on the opening drive. 7-0; scored is under 3 game minutes.

[Commercecomet24]

Great start. Now defense turn

[Irondawg]

So where is Ruiz?

[Bdawg]

Can't ask for anything more. How long has it been with a start like that?

[chef dixon]

Freshman all over the place

[Commercecomet24]

If we can run like this they gonna have to get out of zone and open up the passing game. I
Like it.

[Bdawg]

Happy for Errol

[preachermatt83]

Normal Mike leach is great but if he continues to evolve like he is he will be unstoppable.

[RocketDawg]

Looking good so far. Scored early, defense looking substantial. I think caught Tulsa by surprise.

[Irondawg]

Playing a tad too soft in the secondary

[Bdawg]

Looking good so far. Scored early, defense looking substantial. I think caught Tulsa by surprise.

Yeah just need an opening drive stop

[Irondawg]

Massive hold on the LT missed there

[Bdawg]

Left tackle had a lot of jersey

[Liverpooldawg]

The left tackle for Tulsa is holding every single play. He isn't even trying to hide it. They aren't going to call it.

[Liverpooldawg]

Watch that left tackle. I've never seen anything like it.

[HoopsDawg]

Our DE's are struggling. Clearly need to upgrade talent there.

[preachermatt83]

Normal Mike leach is great but if he continues to evolve like he is he will be unstoppable.

[chef dixon]

Someone needs to spear 73 in the pecker

[Bdawg]

Good job D. Ouch on field position.

[starkvegasdawg]

Now need to be careful this deep in our territory.

[Bdawg]

Someone needs to spear 73 in the pecker

Ha. Damn

[Bdawg]

Now need to be careful this deep in our territory.

Run it like we did.

[R2Dawg]

Good place to get Dillion the ball here

[parabrave]

Watch that left tackle. I've never seen anything like it.

Apparently you didn't watch the Jackie Sherrill BYU game.

[R2Dawg]

Nice series there

[R2Dawg]

Apparently you didn't watch the Jackie Sherrill BYU game.
No kidding. That may have been the worst holding game of all time.

[TimberBeast]

Stupid playcalling there, handed them the ball on our side of the field. That is simple stuff.

[Irondawg]

The third down play was ok - Walley just didn’t get away from the guy

[HoopsDawg]

Odom doesn't keep containment.

[TimberBeast]

The third down play was ok - Walley just didn’t get away from the guy

The first down play was the problem.

[Randolph Dupree]

Yes, it was during the regional or SR........

That's what I thought. Just couldn't remember. I'm surprised he didn't leave this last year.

[HoopsDawg]

I wonder if Colin Duncan is unavailable b/c Jay Jimison is playing over him.

[HoopsDawg]

Eroll is playing very well. 3 nice plays so far.

[starkvegasdawg]

I think by mid third quarter our defensive line is going to have also worn out the o line of Tulsa.

[Irondawg]

Good question on Duncan as he played well vs Mizzou

[HoopsDawg]

Good question on Duncan as he played well vs Mizzou

Twitter says he started, but he wasn't in on that possession.

[Bdawg]

Nice to get field position D.

[chef dixon]

Don't know who Jimison is but he made a decent play

[Bdawg]

Terribly slow throw on swing pass. I guess it's wet though.

[Bdawg]

D line for Tulsa calling snap count?? Awful lot of pointing by us.

[HoopsDawg]

brutal breakdowns in protection. Looks like Will had Walley.

[Liverpooldawg]

Apparently you didn't watch the Jackie Sherrill BYU game.

I saw that one. Watch their left tackle.

[TimberBeast]

D line for Tulsa calling snap count?? Awful lot of pointing by us.

It worked

[Bdawg]

How does a spin move by a 350 guy beat your center?

[R2Dawg]

Nice drive till we quit running the ball. They can't stop our run.

[msstate7]

I really like leach's jacket. Where can I get one?

Ugly, ugly possession

[Irondawg]

Boy that went downhill quickly -

[HoopsDawg]

Don't know who Jimison is but he made a decent play

Walk on from Juco.

[TimberBeast]

Nice drive till we quit running the ball. They can't stop our run.

Yep

[R2Dawg]

Tulsa plays cheap - barking our snap count, holding every play, running the mouth.

[HoopsDawg]

I'll be glad when we can figure out a way to get Tulu on the field more.

[msstate7]

Tulsa plays cheap - barking our snap count, holding every play, running the mouth.

Don't we seem to be in chippy games every week? Maybe it isn't just Tulsa

[R2Dawg]

I'll be glad when we can figure out a way to get Tulu on the field more.

He is perfect bubble screen guy

[R2Dawg]

Don't we seem to be in chippy games every week? Maybe it isn't just Tulsa

Maybe I missed it but other than egg bowl what other games

[msstate7]

He is perfect bubble screen guy

He's flat out electric. I saw him a lot at Philly high.

[Percho]

Dr Pepper

[msstate7]

Maybe I missed it but other than egg bowl what other games?

Auburn

[parabrave]

Tulsa plays cheap - barking our snap count, holding every play, running the mouth.

Boout like BYU. That was the biggest POS team ever.

[Irondawg]

Darn - big play Tulsa on Emerson

[R2Dawg]

Tulsa outplaying us on both sides of ball now. We better get our heads in game.

[Saltydog]

We may be ahead (as of now) but we're getting outplayed. We look like shit.

[BayouDawg]

Forbes has looked better than Emerson recently

[msstate7]

I always get a kick out of olinemen pushing the rb forward like that. You know that sheet hurts

[msstate7]

Forbes has looked better than Emerson recently

I'm still shocked Forbes is playing and playing well in the sec after seeing him his senior year. He was great, but tiny. He's gonna be really good when he gets some weight on him

[Irondawg]

Yeah they are playing a little more physical than us right now

[defiantdog]

Jimison?

[parabrave]

Dam Refs suck. where did they get these Guys/gals?

[chef dixon]

I mean that throw and route were perfect on Emerson

[Hambone]

Walkons making plays early on for us

[msstate7]

I mean that throw and route were perfect on Emerson

They were, but he was beat by a couple steps

[HoopsDawg]

I mean that throw and route were perfect on Emerson

We also blitzed and didn't get there.

[Irondawg]

We aren’t getting in the backfield quickly on our blitzes - they are doing a good job picking them up

[msstate7]

This feels like a big drive. Hopefully they try tulu

[msstate7]

Is Tulsa stupid?

[msstate7]

Marks takes the biggest hits.

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus these damn flags.

[R2Dawg]

We just can't play two games in a row good.

[basedog]

Just play football. Damn!

[msstate7]

Great play Will and Austin

[preachermatt83]

I despise officials who like to be seen. Become a part of the game. It?s so stupid

[starkvegasdawg]

Are the refs paid by the flag?

[msstate7]

I really liked that throw to Austin. Will standing in there as a freshman is impressive

[preachermatt83]

This group of officials are embarrassing themselves

[Irondawg]

Our offensive line has regressed to early season form

[R2Dawg]

Will not good today

[HoopsDawg]

Kam Jones having a rough first half.

[Matt3467]

Will has near Costello like pocket mobility

[starkvegasdawg]

If we can't block three rushers from a piss conference then I don't know what to say.

[Saltydog]

We're back to our pre UGA offense. A complete cluster......

[msstate7]

Johnson is a load. Does his style fit this offense? He would've been a really good fit in Mullen's offense

[mparkerfd20]

Our O line looks like dog shit today.

[chef dixon]

I mean yea we could block better, but Rogers pocket presence has to be better there. Its a slow rush

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

Kinda hard to be successful when it?s 3rd and forever every time. Flags galore. It?s like watching a beer league game. Tulsa players are absolute punks.

[R2Dawg]

I despise officials who like to be seen. Become a part of the game. It?s so stupid

Agree

[Dawgology]

Couple of things: we have waaaaaaay too many self-inflicted penalties.

Also, Rogers will be a good backup to Robertson next season. He is in no way a starting QB for the SEC.

[HoopsDawg]

If we can't block three rushers from a piss conference then I don't know what to say.

And no help on the way at Tackle via recruiting.

[msstate7]

I mean yea we could block better, but Rogers pocket presence has to be better there. Its a slow rush

I'm as hard on will as anyone, but that was a rush 3 drop 8... he has a lot to process in the secondary, and the pressure was there quick. I blame oline there

[R2Dawg]

I mean yea we could block better, but Rogers pocket presence has to be better there. Its a slow rush

Will holding ball too long and like you said he has no pocket presence today.

[Hambone]

What happened to him getting outside the pocket and taking off?

[R2Dawg]

I'm as hard on will as anyone, but that was a rush 3 drop 8... he has a lot to process in the secondary, and the pressure was there quick. I blame oline there

Well that is the problem with throwing on drop 8. Causes the QB to hold the ball studying the field. Hence why you need to run to open up the pass. Football is simple.

[maroonmania]

Our tackling is really bad today.

[State82]

This has turned into a cf

[Irondawg]

We have missed a bunch of tackles today

[TimberBeast]

Nice tackle there

[msstate7]

Well that is the problem with throwing on drop 8. Causes the QB to hold the ball studying the field. Hence why you need to run to open up the pass. Football is simple.

I don't disagree, but that was a pass. Oline has to hold up better there.

[maroonmania]

On the replay Preston didn't even try to wrap up. Looked more like he was trying to block him.

[Hambone]

What in the hell did Preston just do?

[msstate7]

We need Santana on our team

[maroonmania]

3rd down conversions over and over given up by our defense.

[R2Dawg]

Well their QB looks pretty good. All that research that he wasn't very good?

[BigEasyDawg]

What in the hell did Preston just do?

he also stopped running once the runner got loose. Sit down Preston

[Irondawg]

Their qb is playing really well - but basically when we look bad on D it’s almost always our safeties

[starkvegasdawg]

Our secondary couldn't cover a troop of crippled Girl Scouts.

[maroonmania]

Are we trying to tackle or play pinball?

[R2Dawg]

We look tired and not even wanting to play now?

[Irondawg]

There was like 7 missed tackles on that one run - we aren’t wrapping up at all

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

One ugly game.

[mparkerfd20]

Worst we've looked on O and D in a while. Figures.

[msstate7]

That's a man tackle

[HoopsDawg]

Well that is the problem with throwing on drop 8. Causes the QB to hold the ball studying the field. Hence why you need to run to open up the pass. Football is simple.

Tulsa is giving us the run but Leach won't take it.

[BayouDawg]

This reminds me of the Kentucky game in 2018. They got in our face in pregame and we totally lost composure.

[msstate7]

Who is timbs?

[Saltydog]

That's the thing that irked me. He just casually jogged......I would've jerked his ass of the field immediately........

[chef dixon]

We got walk ons and no names all over defense guys. They are playing fine. The Arnett D in the redzone is stout

[maroonmania]

Tulsa has a good defense. I'm very disappointed in our D not making stops right now. That Tulsa drive right there went about 90 yards before we stopped them. Drive started on the 2.

[HoopsDawg]

We look tired and not even wanting to play now?

Well, a couple of first downs on offense would help.

[BigEasyDawg]

Who is timbs?

Walk-on from Indianola Academy i believe

[BayouDawg]

Tulsa is giving us the run but Leach won't take it.

Every time we get rolling with the run game we get a stupid false start and get behind the chains.

[HoopsDawg]

Who is timbs?

Walk on. We are playing 3 walk on's on defense. Side note: We have 1 DB committed/signed.

[Dawgology]

Maybe we will get more yards than penalties this series...

[R2Dawg]

Tulsa is giving us the run but Leach won't take it.

Oh, no you have to research Leach. The run is hard to teach and execute; he is going to work that run in by year 2 or 3. Work on the pass first. Oh wait, the pass ain't doing squat either. So what is Leach coaching us on?

[Maroonthirteen]

Who is timbs?

A 6ft 2in tall athlete from Indianola, MS.

Reminds me of Tem's grocery in Macon.

[HoopsDawg]

Damn, great return, but I wish he had planted that left foot and cut inside.

[BrunswickDawg]

Tulu is going to break one before today is over

[Percho]

We need to throw one deep

[msstate7]

We got walk ons and no names all over defense guys. They are playing fine. The Arnett D in the redzone is stout

That's a good point for today. Now with a look to the future, hoops says we have 1 db signed. This has to be concerning

[Maroonthirteen]

We need to throw one deep

Insert laughing emoji. This offense doesn't have a route over 2 yards deep.

[msstate7]

Tulu is going to break one before today is over

He's gonna break a few before his career is over. He's great at it.

[HoopsDawg]

Running a tunnel screen into a 3 man rush just makes me LOL.

[R2Dawg]

That's the thing that irked me. He just casually jogged......I would've jerked his ass of the field immediately........

Preston plays hard. Maybe he tweaked a hamstring or something?

[Irondawg]

Yeah I don’t get that screen call against that D - it hasn’t gone for more than 2 yards all year

[Percho]

Where is 5 today

[msstate7]

Out of bounds will

[maroonmania]

Rogers calls TO and THEN gets a delay of game. That is awful.

[msstate7]

Alright, I took up for will earlier. That was unacceptable

[Irondawg]

The offensive is just struggling - this is an inaccurate as we have seen Will all year

[Matt3467]

Good grief Will

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

A delay of game after an incomplete pass? That?s completely inexcusable

[msstate7]

Man, marks, you can't make that guy miss? I've not been that impressed with marks

[Irondawg]

Our run game will be so much better when we can actually make the first guy miss in the open field on occasion

[msstate7]

Tulsa is DAF. Why do you not take the TO to force a punt? This could bite them

[chef dixon]

Dumb clock management. Bring it down to like 12 seconds so if you get a first you can kick a field goal

[Cooterpoot]

Will Rogers has had a horrible game. Bad throws, holding it, delay of games. Just bad today.

[Bdawg]

Man, marks, you can't make that guy miss? I've not been that impressed with marks

Me either.

[Maroonthirteen]

Running a tunnel screen into a 3 man rush just makes me LOL.

Air raid. Sound the siren.

[HoopsDawg]

What the hell was that?! Take a timout with 25 seconds left and try to get the first down. Shit, I think Leach may be a dumbass.

[msugolf]

We have zero RBs with the ability to make people miss

[Dawgface]

First drive of the game was impressive. Shit since.

[Percho]

Agree Chef

[Quaoarsking]

Should've tried the 55-yard field goal. More likely to make that than a Hail Mary.

[Saltydog]

We just aren't prepared. The only player that looks like they want to be there is Griffin. Everyone else just going thru the motions.

[HoopsDawg]

Rogers calls TO and THEN gets a delay of game. That is awful.

We run a no-huddle offense. We called a timeout. And we still get a delay of game. That is next level bad.

[msstate7]

Should've tried the 55-yard field goal. More likely to make that than a Hail Mary.

Is Ruiz available?

[msugolf]

Rogers ain?t it guys. I know that several here like him but he doesn?t have the zip or accuracy to make this offense go against better than average teams

[Saltydog]

And the chances that you're going to get one is highly unlikely with this offense. It's just not appealing to a good RB recruit.

[msstate7]

First drive of the game was impressive. Shit since.

It was a 38-yard drive, right? Tulu set that up on a platter

[Quaoarsking]

Is Ruiz available?

I don't know, but I think Christmann is more likely to hit a 55-yarder than we are to get a Hail Mary TD.

[R2Dawg]

Like I've said all year, until we do something consistently (like two or more games) we ain't fixed nothing. We've spent all year and don't look any better than early season.

Someone tell me we are improved? How is next year going to be better?

[bluelightstar]

Rogers is just not it

[NCDawg]

One good point was Timbs sacking the QB on a blitz. Most of the times we can't get to the QB on a blitz.

[Dawgology]

Rogers isn?t the answer for starting QB. He seems like a good guy and will be a hell of a backup to Robertson.

[R2Dawg]

First drive of the game was impressive. Shit since.

Yeah like two plays - both running. Imagine that. But we are working on fixing the passing game the rest of the half or game.

[msstate7]

I don't know, but I think Christmann is more likely to hit a 55-yarder than we are to get a Hail Mary TD.

I don't think Christmann can come even close to that

[R2Dawg]

Is Ruiz available?

Yeah I was thinking FG all the way too.

[Irondawg]

I want to Will after a year in the college strength program - I’m still not sure his arm talent is anything special but it’s hard to judge a true freshman

[basedog]

Sloppy indeed. Thank goodness we have a good goal line defense.

Our offense is so slow, but this game is about what I thought it would be. Let’s hope we out coach Tulsa this half, gotta find some offense.

[HoopsDawg]

Yeah I was thinking FG all the way too.

That was a terrible job by Leach. You have to try and convert the first down. We ran the clock down to 1 second and threw a hail mary from the 38. No plan at all.

[Turfdawg67]

9 pages already... we must be losing. The Leach/Rogers haters/bitchers are out in full force I'd assume.

[Cooterpoot]

Yeah I was thinking FG all the way too.

Ruiz opted out and is done.

[HoopsDawg]

Rogers isn?t the answer for starting QB. He seems like a good guy and will be a hell of a backup to Robertson.

You guys can knock Will and that's fine. I agree he is not an elite talent. But there are many more problems than Will and the big one is a guy named Mike Leach who hasn't adjusted his offense in 20 years.

[R2Dawg]

That was a terrible job by Leach. You have to try and convert the first down. We ran the clock down to 1 second and threw a hail mary from the 38. No plan at all.

Ah, now I get it. Leach was still working on the passing game.

[HoopsDawg]

Ruiz opted out and is done.

How does a kicker opt out. WTF.

[msstate7]

Ruiz opted out and is done.

What a weird decision. Did he think he'd get hurt in the bowl?

[R2Dawg]

You guys can knock Will and that's fine. I agree he is not an elite talent. But there are many more problems than Will and the big one is a guy named Mike Leach who hasn't adjusted his offense in 20 years.

Correct, Will is good enough but he ain't the problem.

[Cooterpoot]

We couldn't kick a 50 yard FG (No Ruiz and terrible winds) and we dam sure didn't need to give them the ball at midfield with time left.

[R2Dawg]

Ruiz opted out and is done.

How fitting; one of our best kickers in a while. We probably lose by a FG, the one right before half we could have kicked.

[msstate7]

We couldn't kick a 50 yard FG (No Ruiz and terrible winds) and we dam sure didn't need to give them the ball at midfield with time left.

Well it was 1 second left, but I agree, no shot at a fg

[R2Dawg]

We couldn't kick a 50 yard FG (No Ruiz and terrible winds) and we dam sure didn't need to give them the ball at midfield with time left.

I thought Ruiz was available. No problem running the clock down and kick FG but if no kick, lot more things we should have done since we had no O the whole first half and they get ball in 3rd. Terrible game mgt.

[Cooterpoot]

The last QB from Brandon ran his offense fine a few years ago. It's just a bad game today. It was vs AU. He's a FR.

[Irondawg]

Well the good news is the offense can’t play much worse so hopefully we pick it up a bit.

What I’ve been disappointed in as well as how Tulsa looks overall to be stronger than us physically. Maybe it’s an upperclassman thing versus our young guys but we are getting pushed around more than I thought we would

[Santiago]

Track? Never would have thought that. As for everyone using the same look - that's easy. "Creative" firms and consultants aren't all that "creative" and original. They copy what works and what is perceived as popular.

I love the Flying M - but I also understand how it isn't readily apparent that it is Mississippi State. I think "State" schools always have a harder time with branding and logos then the "University of ...." schools that get to use a simple letter (Michigan, Georgia, Florida, etc). I think that is why so many people identify with the M over S and the interlocking MSU of the later 90s - you see that on a baseball cap and you know who it is immediately who it is.

Same page with you on it all. Washington state is a good example possibly of a state school with a log in sports you recognize and it really doesn't have STATE waving across it. It is a unique logo that most all college fans recognize. I would think it only takes a season or so and any unique logo starts being recognized outside the footprint of the southeast, just due to so much TV exposure.

[msstate7]

We have 129 yards of offense

[HoopsDawg]

agree to disagree.

[State82]

What a shit show

[msstate7]

I really want leach's jacket.

Possibly could get worse because the weather is getting worse.

[State82]

I really want leach's jacket.

Hell, I would be willing to give you his jacket AND his job.

[msstate7]

Give Johnson some runs

[maroonmania]

We have 129 yards of offense

We were way outplayed after the first series. Tulsa's second FG came on a drive starting at the 2. They had to have WAY more yards of offense than we did.

[msstate7]

Hell, I would be willing to give you his jacket AND his job.

I might could come up with 129 1st half yards lol

[Santiago]

I really want leach's jacket.

agree. If someone knows where he got it, please share.

[HoopsDawg]

I might could come up with 129 1st half yards lol

Unlike Mizzou, it doesn't like Tulsa is going to help us out and play man 2 man.
