They just plugged State talking about Chris Jones and Fletcher Cox both being disruptive and both being from State!
Was about to post the same! He said ?they?re both Bulldogs from Ms State.?
If Chris can get a sack next week, that will be an NFL record 11 games in a row. D-line U.
Thank you for posting this. Wife was in my other ear during the talk. Didn't catch all of it. Congrats Chris on the record!
Chris Jones is in the backfield every pass play
Gives him 13.5 sacks on the year. Tied for 2nd in the NFL with Von Miller
Denico Autry is having a big year for the Colts too. And we all know about Fletcher Cox. Jeff Simmons is about to join them.
If I was Simmons agent, I would make sure there was incentive for those two guys to mention State and Simmons being the next great one at some point in a near future media encounter.Quote:

I mean, come on Byron Young. Don't get lost in the shuffle at Bama. Come to MSU & be a star
Byron not giving us a serious look really hurts. Byron, Turnage, Raydar Jones, Mingo, Dean, possibly Hall; ouch that's a lot of talent.Quote:

What OM supposedly is for WRs, we are infinitely better at with DL & LB yet somehow we struggle to sell that on the recruiting trail or get the same response.
For some reason, our DL recruits still want to take visits when they should be begging for the chance to learn under Baker & play on our DL. Somehow Byron Young, Dean, & Hall are leaning out of state when they play the positions that MSU puts in the NFL at a high rate.
It's just so frustrating that these kids can't see it. It's infuriating
Yep.....outta state schools raided Mississippi pretty well this year. Hope it doesn't continue, but afraid it will.Quote:

Actually Tony Hughes has a connection with Young so stay tuned. He is listeningQuote:

And Denico Autry is with the Indianapolis ColtsQuote:

The NFL is showing that MSU will get you there and prepare you.
These kids leaving is nothing but an insult to every Mississippian
Like shrader, dak, bear wilson, Fred Ross?Quote:

I hope in the very near future we can get all those guys (Fletcher, Simmons, Sweat, Jones, McPhee, Autry,etc) in a group picture together. Pipe dream but what a recruiting/marketing tool that would be.
Our athletic dept needs to pimp the hell out of these guys.Quote:

What do you want?
Go cheer for another state's school loser. Goodness I wish garbage like you would leave our fanbase.
You hold us back because you don't get it in anyway
They are. The instate kids they are too good for MSU and you lick it up.Quote:

No. Your non competitive and I bet you get walked over time and time again in real life.Quote:

This conference isn't for the faint of heart and the teams that win have the most competitive and cut throat fan bases.
Sorry, I completely disagree and it's obvious that you and the many other non competitive MSU fans that plague our fan base aren't all in.
You are insane. If you think it's helpful for our fanbase to trash every kid who decides to play somewhere else, you are absolutely insane.Quote:

We're not 'all in', lulz, get a hold of yourself.Quote:

It does for those that we compete against and we won't win more than what we currently do until it means more for us.Quote:

You guys bitch and complain about play calling, have horrific takes about how a coach fit better, and generally blame everyone but yourselves.
You guys just want the meal and have no interest in the groceries.
I'm sorry, were you a big time football player?Quote:

My perspective is from wanting to win big. I just laugh at how you guys complain about the coaches for the most ridiculous things but then play the "good guy" card in recruiting.
It's completely backwards and gets us nowhere.
Then change the culture of MS. Its just part of the flight of MS. Can?t knock the kids for that.Quote:
