Does it count that Dan jumped ship about every November for about 8 years? Go Miami.
I am about as neutral as I can possibly be for once.
Obviously, I'm not a Mullen fan right now and don't wish him success, but I've hated the cheating Storks/Ibises since the 1980s. They've enjoyed the top spot on my Great Satan list without adjustment.
In a perfect world, they would both lose. Since ties are gone I can't wish for that. So, since I'm a defensive guy I've decided to pull for the defense. Or more accurately stated.. I'm pulling against each offense. I'm not pulling "for" anybody. I'll be happy with 0-0 in regulation and then whatever happens in OT.
My son and I are going to the game and so Ill let you all know that he has a brand new Miami shirt to wear. So, you know where his thoughts are.
Some of you guys sound like scorned women and Ole miss when Tuberville left them.
I think there are two different things driving people's hatred of Mullen. 1) He has tried to leave multiple times and it affected the end of our season, one Egg Bowl loss even costing us the Sugar Bowl and 2) He not only didn't say shit to the fans until a week or so later and there was a lot of pushback but he half ass told the team. He had no respect for MSU and it showed what kind of person he was.
I appreciate the hard work that went into building the program but he also screwed us over several times before he left. I laughed when Tuberville left UM but I always thought it was shitty the way he did the players.
Honestly very neutral on who wins and will just be excited to watch big time college football again in a game with meaning. Saturdays are about to get a lot better with meat on the grill and beer in the fridge.
That said Florida should win by 10-14 points.
This is the only correct answer. People still mad at Mullen tickle me. What did they want? The dude was here for nigh on a decade. That doesn?t happen anymore. With a football program that had lost a game literally 3-2 a season before he got here, he made us relevant. At times, he made us really good.
Mullen gave WAY more to State than he ever took. Stop crying already. We sound like Arkansas fans talking about Nutt back in the day.
And I blame Scott Strickland a ton more than Mullen. MSU made Strickland. His father-in-law is Bailey-Friggen-Howell. I don’t miss Scott, bt he’s way more “traitorous” than Dan will ever be.
I want Miami to win, but we all know SEC > than pretty much anyone else. UF will roll on this one beginning in the second quarter. Classic Mullen slow start will probably give Miami early momentum. Then the talent difference will take over.
I’ll always cheer for anyone that ****boy goes against unless it’s Ole Miss.
This.
I was a Mullen fan even after he left for UF until I saw that he was texting U of Tennessee admins before the Egg Bowl. I understood Florida being a better job Mullen and previously coached there and he was comfortable with the Florida AD, but Tennessee? That place is a dumpster fire and it would take at least 3-5 years for UT to be a better job than MSU. And then I read about the other jobs he was going after at the end of most MSU seasons, no doubt costing us Egg Bowls, bowl games, and recruits.
Go Miami.
