You think the coaches are speculating this as well?? Really??? You can't think that. This is all by design. I would bet my mortgage that Mullen has laid out how series are split at QB for South Alabama, and how reps are going to be allocated for the first 4 games of the year...but he would NEVER let that get out!! You want kids preparing right now like they're all gonna startQuote:

I wont be surprised if the USA game is within 10 at half. We gonna need RossQuote:

They will give us trouble for a half. They have more players and our QB's are green. You guys need to understand that we are not going to be near as good as we have been the last 2 years. We couldnt run on Troy or La Tech last yearQuote:

We'll pull away in the 2nd when they are worn down
I'll take MSU -10 1/2 first half spread for as much as anyone will take.Quote:

So Mullen and our coaching staff are about to turn into the Charlie Shira years without Dak? Yes, Dak may be the greatest MSU offensive player I'll ever see, (my late Father said that Jackie Parker was the best he ever saw), but surely our 2016 cupboard is not this bare. "Shirley", I won't have to wait decades for another good team.
Agree.. And the filanl will be as bad as we want it to be...Quote:

It's actually 14 1/2 right nowQuote:

The biggest thing about Fitz is he is going to turn the ball over more than Dak- who very rarely turned it over so I'm not saying Fitz has a problem it's just who he is compared to. I don't think we can expect Fitz to be as effective a runner as Dak. I'm not saying that Fitz is bad, slow, or etc. Just that I don't expect him to be as productive as Dak running the ball.Quote:

We do a lot of those things and we will have a good year. I see at least 7 wins. Hail State!
Maybe...just maybe if some of y'all think you've figured out who C34's alter-ego is, you should consider not blasting it for all to see?
It's one thing to speculate or wonder what happened to him. It's another entirely to continually point to another poster and call attention to them.
At least that's my opinion. Why would any of us...knowing what those psychotic morons up north are capable of, wish to bring that down on Lee again?
I'm not saying RP or anyone else here is Coach...but unless Coach has asked some of his inner circle to do this to poke 'em in-the-eye, I'm suggesting we cool it on calling out posters on here as being Coach.
Am I overreacting, or is discretion the better part of valor?
yeah, I wouldn't touch 14 1/2. 10 1/2, Im all in. I can easily see a 17-3 game at the half.Quote:

LOL is this serious??Quote:
