Please Mullen beat these bastards

While I despise Auburn with the hatred of a thousand hot, white suns, a lot of teams see us like that. Hell, UK fans expect to beat us every year, and they have only beaten us once in the last seven.
I love their delusion.
"Dak Prescott is coming back next year but I don't know who else is coming back that's good."
Oh...you know...only the best returning LB in the SEC. A stout RB core, possibly the best front-7 in the SEC this year just to name a few.
That's exactly how their fans were two years ago. State was about a 6 point underdog..... 28-10
Did I miss something? What sparked this thread?
EAT - NM, Just realized the OP was a link. Yep, this is standard fare for them. In our best years, they might consider us a "cute little upstart" that could maybe beat OM, UK, etc, but not a powerhouse like AU. And yes, they excuse the close wins to "early season" BS where only AU has the potential to up-their-game as the season progresses.
Auburn fans are the only people I've ever seen come to Starkville and try to start fights. OM fans are pompous, LSU fans are wild, and AU fans are just dicks. That's their stereotype.
Until we start beating people, this will continue.

It's amazing that fans have a better understanding of how to build a winning program rather than the coach. MSU has sucked in football for almost a century. We finally get a coach headed in the right direction and timeliness are placed. where was the timeline 100 years ago?
Just think how their feelings are going to be hurt if State does beat them.
I don't know what you are talking about...I didn't say anything timeline related. Having said that - it's year six. If Mullen can't get at least one "marquee" win this year with the roster we have coming back I'll be worried. I have faith in Mullen to elevate us this year, though.

I would typically agree with you but this is HIS program now with HIS players as redshirt seniors. Beating a good team at home isn't too much to ask with this roster. I'm not big on expectations, but we all know we've got a pretty good team. We ought to be able to handle the 4 OOC games, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Arkansas at minimum. That's 7 wins. While I'm sure a few of those wins will be over decent teams, that will feel much like 2012 when we knew we hadn't really beaten anybody. Which is fine, I'll take 7-5 with a bowl all day long and be content. But for fans as a whole to believe Mullen can any more than he's already done, we need to clip Texas A&M/Auburn at home this year and if not, we need to beat the Bears at their place. I don't expect us to beat Bammer or LSU at their places.
When I saw this was linked to their Scout message board, it didn't surprise me with their comments. Those are the most arrogant of their fans on message boards as they come. With 90% Auburn assholes and a sprinkling (10%) of actual objective Auburn fans. I'd love for Nick Marshall to throw it on our secondary. It would go away from their strength and they would lose. If he throws it the majority of the time, we win. We only allowed them 24 points at their place and Marshall threw on us last year. This year we will move the ball much better then last. I believe the game we had with them last year was Dak's first career road start. My guess is Dak will be much improved when they play us in Starkville this time around.
