I don't have as much info as some, but seeing some things first hand with this staff, I can tell you it's not even close to what was being done in the past.Quote:

Not just the CL... lots of folks were bashing "processing" a ways back...Quote:

The CL is and has been run by people who are mainly interested in OM being successful and MSU being unsuccessful. Its never a surprise when they put MSU in a bad light and OM in a good light. The real surprise is when they do anything different than that. I'll celebrate the day that trash paper goes out of business. I'm at least glad there are many other ways for people in MS to get their sports information today than back in the past so they don't have the influence they once did.Quote:

Getting Fields will help a lot (not sure if we do) but if I had to bet right now Mingo is coming to State

Pretty bad when you are having to use you backup QB as a WR on certain plays. KT had one of our many dropped passes yesterday on a huge play inside the Iowa 10.Quote:

Of course Mitchell had the drop against Florida which may have cost us the game, but he seems to have developed into our most reliable receiver.Quote:
