I'm actually about a 8 to 8.5. Which is more than I've been in a few years. That's even though my expectations are low, just hoping for 6-6.
I think it's the expectation of being entertaining offensively.

Probably an 7. If we start 4-0 though, it will be a full throttle 10.
I would say a 9 because I'm excited to see what should be an exciting offense and Lebby in action. I think we can get to a bowl game this year but so many unknowns. Just give us some excitement instead of watching us get hammered by putting up 250 yards a game like last year lol

And it’s that high because I’m excited to see Lebby’s O plans and playcalling
10 but expectations aren't sky-high either. I think we have the potential to make a lower bowl but even if we finish 5-7 and it looks like Mullen's 2009 where you saw definite improvement over 2008, I'll be ok. And I agree with the OP, the high expectation is due to the possibility of an exciting offense even if it doesn't hit its full stride this year.
10. With a record of 16-0!
I mean, for 4 years our fans have been hollering RTGDF and they are about to get a heavy dose of about 45-50 Running Plays per game with about 20-25 passes per game and 8-9 punts per game and 4-5 FG attempts per game. How could State NOT go 16-0?

Excited to see Lebby offense but I don't know the players anymore and I expect us to suck and ole miss is gonna be good. It may be a long season.
Same, but I think we do better because of Shapen.Quote:

We won't be nearly as bad as some think and I don't have to watch sorry ass offense like I have since Mullen left. We'll get handled by the best teams but the rest will be ok.
I am not to far from this. Having to listen to all the other fan bases around here being good is a killer. I will start getting more excited if we win our first 3. If we beat Florida then I'll start caring more. Competitive against Texas after starting 4-0 then I'm excitedQuote:

Lowest it's ever been. 2.
I can't name 3 players.
5...if we're just talking about State. +7 for new coach and new offense. -2 for bad defense and lack of proven talent across the board.
8 if we're talking about all of college football. Interested to see Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC and excited to see how the 12 team playoff works out. Curious to see Bama without Saban, and can't wait for OM to screw up somehow.
Lowest it?s ever been for me. Think Lebby will be a good hire but I am a 2 right now.
I can't understand not being excited. It's the equivalent to having a new toy and seeing all it can do. If MSU ever becomes a one trick pony sports team like many are suggesting we become a national disaster and a forgotten nobody. Baseball is over! It's time for some football!
5. one trick pony huh?
Absolutely, for those that think we're a baseball school only.Quote:

I'm at an 7 right now. Our HS starts band camp next week, and I'll be able to hear practice from my house in the evenings. That will bump me up to an 8 subconsciously because I'll be hearing fight songs and cadences while I enjoy the evening ocean breeze and a cocktail after a hot day. By mid August I'll be at a 9, and by kickoff I'll be my normal 10. How long I stay at a 10 depends on the team. I think we take our first 5 - yes I said it! Florida sucks. Texas is not ready to handle the SEC week in and week out. I'll be rolling into Athens at about a 15.
About 100x more excited than reading about MSU baseball portal players and baseball in general
6, but only because I now give college football at this level about a 4.
6. It's the dog days of summer. Let the season get closer and everyone will start getting excited.
aw, no telling thenQuote:

In this instant eligibility + NIL environment it's hard to care. Used to be we could count on a big school having a fatal flaw and I'd have hope we could exploit it; now they just buy a player to fix the flaw, while buying our best players (RaRa). I'll pull for a guy I think is all Dawg only to see him play Portal games for money and learn he doesn't give a crap about our team or university. I can't blame anyone for trying to make money... but I also don't want to root for those people.
I'm 2 right now, will probably be a 6 by game day after I get bored and start following the team closely. But last year I skipped some games and didn't miss it. If we start losing I could see putting a nice fall hike with my kids above a game
College sports were last bastion of watchable competition for me. I havent watched MLB or NBA in a decade. I only watch the NFL because its on Sunday night after I get done with game prep for our next Friday opponent
Now with portal/NIL its just completely buying players. There is no more us vs them. It's just who we have rented for this season vs who they have rented for this season. I used to plan my Saturdays around the Big 3. Now its just whatever.
We play football?!?
Yeah this is my problem. Just hard to get too excited with where college sports has gone with nilQuote:
