MSU will be fine the gloom and doom just ain't as bad as so many think.
But we have sucked for most of our existence except for the last 30 years. And we did that by overcoming our lack of money with being a development program. Even Jackie did a great job developing Mississippi talent before Mullen did. We have now lost the developmental aspect because now you develop them and they leave.Quote:

I don't know man, 8 wins sounds pretty freakin' amazing to me right now.Quote:

Yes compared to last year I agree.Quote:

Hard to sit at the same table very long with the short stack... brutal.
It takes a perfect storm to get us anywhere near the playoffs - that's still nothing new.Quote:

So, if you are an MSU fan and believe that we should compete regularly for more than 9 wins, you are gonna need a truck load alcohol.
left out 1980 but your point is dead onQuote:

Agree, that is how we won. Transfer is game changer for us but OP was about us not having money as reason we had no hope. My post was that we've always not had money but won.Quote:
