Interesting comments by JoMo......

....asked what would be needed for MSU to have a great year this year. No. 1 he replied.....was to go 4-0 or 3-1 in OOC play. No.2 was to have a winning SEC record which hasn't been done very many times in MSU history. To me, a great year would be 4-0 in OOC games. What OOC game does he think we could possibly lose? And in the SEC, a great year would entail a 6-2 or better record. I could see us losing to BAMA and possibly Auburn. LSU could beat us, but I just don't see it. 10-2 or better THIS year would be a great year for me. 9-3 would be very good, and 8-4 would be just ok. JMHO, of course!

Probably Kansas State.

So you don't think 10-2 or better would be a great season?

Let me just say that if we don't go 4-0 in OOC play then we won't sniff 10-2 and the odds of us having a winning SEC record are very low. I realize we may improve through the year but losing to Kansas State would be a really bad indicator for the rest of the season.

You guys are foolish if you think winning at Kansas State will be easy

He is actually comparing what a great year would be at Mississippi State compared to our history over a period of several years to many many years, which makes sense. He said this was just one of his goals. His ultimate goal is to win a national championship here.

I agree with you. This game worries me a lot with it being so early in the season, and in an unfamiliar environment.

However, Kansas State lost to Vandy last year. If we can't beat them (even on the road) we are looking at an extremely mediocre season.

Under promise and over deliver.

I'm going to wait till I see this team in action against a good opponent before I form any expectations at all. There are a lot of unknowns going into this season.

This. Despite all the variables and unknowns, something tells me this will be an early season indicator as to how things go. I just took a quick glance at K-State 2017 and We should beat these guys. are they expected to be better this year?

The K-State game is interesting. It's very early in the season and they played Auburn very hard several years ago over there. I can't see it this year. Our defensive front stifles them, and we win decidedly.

think we are. This is our best team in years and you guys are worried about shitty KState. I fully expect us to beat the hell outta most teams we play this year...Damn guys have some confidence for once.

I will bet some V-Cash that we win by 12+. Considering I have over 1M in V-Cash, I'll go lite and won't call you and see you more. Can we bet V-Cash against other individuals on the board?

nice. That's kinda what I thought when I read that.

Agree

If we lose to K State we finish 6-6. K State is nowhere near SEC level competition.

We ain't losing to K State.

I expect us to beat K St but let's not act like it's the same as going to La Tech or South Alabama. They'll probably be a Top 25 team when we go there. I think our team is special & will have a special season but this Kansas St not Kansas they'll be ready to play.

The old man will bring it at home early season. No doubt about it. However, I still expect State to be 4-0 with Florida coming to town, and every game gets bigger and bigger from then on if State keeps racking up Ws.
