If we upset OM, all those who have questioned Lebby this year take a voluntary 1 week ban from ED. This will include me and I hope to be in that ban, Hail State!
If we get Croomed, a "Well, I didn't see that coming", 45-0 type loss, his ED hardcore defenders take the ban.
Another close, fourth quarter heartbreaking loss, we both stay to argue on until Spring Baseball takes over to put football on the back burner, (But hoping Jans can get MBB fixed for 25/26).
Ok guys, who's in?*****
Wisdom says the velvet ditch merc’s, but I’m old and tired of being pessimistic. Om is a VERY good team but have gotten 3 wins they shoulda woulda coulda lost, The DOGS find their early season fight and give Lebby a foot up for next year.......Go “DOGS”.....make that saturday coffee special again.....Truly think it’s DOG time......
A lot will see this as pretty convenient. If we win the egg, there will be a line of posters ready to call me and Q out.
This is not a Moorhead situation where the fools that fell for his antics need to be called out. I see both sides of the coin on Lebby. He isn?t a Mullen but isn?t a Moorhead. He is in the middle so it makes sense people have different viewpoints
I don't criticize Lebby for OL/DL in year 2 because of the NIL situation. I do criticize and rightfully blame him for the idiotic decisions to go for it on 4th down deep in our territory or to run 7 QB runs in a row. And it isn't just the Mizzou game, he's done shit like that all season long. The fake punt against TN was brilliant and I credit Lebby for having the balls to do it at that moment because no one expected it. Just sucks that Shapen ****ed it up the very next play
I am officially predicting a win on Friday in spite of Lebby, but if I'm right I'll just celebrate myself rather than try to pick fights with those who were wrong.Quote:

I amend this to be a year long bet where we amend our signatures.
Lebby doubters (me) if we win - "I am a dumbass when it comes to football and I deserve ridicule for questioning Jeff Lebby's process."
Lebby supporters if we lose - "Q and 7 are geniuses at football knowledge. It's time to move on from Lebby."
I think we can lose and it not be a sign Lebby isn't the guy. Now if we get a 3-td beatdown, yeahQuote:

Lose by 1-13 - Nothing
Lose by 14+ - "Q and 7 are geniuses at football knowledge. It's time to move on from Lebby."
I'm signing on to eat crow if we win.
Goldendawg, amend your first post for people to this. Way better than stopping scoob from getting site traffic ad revenue.
I will gladly use that sig for a winQuote:

And unless we win, the site traffic will dive after Friday anyways as Basketball isn't surprising anyone to drive any excitement.
I'm in!!Quote:

But with a combination of an easier schedule, more talent on the lines and some coaching changes on MSU's end on the defensive side that I expect to see happen I think we will be more than fine. Also won't have to deal with the Shapen vs KT BS by default as well.
That?s not a bad thing. It?s would be fabulous to win the Egg. Getting called out on a message board?.ho hum, who cares?!Quote:

We could very well give up 45 but our offense is much better than it was in 2008 and is in the middle of the pack in the SEC. I just don't foresee us getting shut out like 2008. Plus, we're playing in Starkville this year, not Oxford like 2008.
The only team that has really completely shut our offense down this year so far has been Texas A&M and that was on the road with our offensive line in complete disarray.
You keep asserting this as fact, and I just don't think you can. First, there's just no way to say either way in the modern portal era. Case in point, this year turned out to be much easier than we expected.Quote:

Gotta agree with you here. I'm willing to bet LSU and SC will be different teams next year. They will hit the portal hard and fill their weak spots. Bama is Bama. Texas is Texas. Oklahoma is Oklahoma. Vandy will be a wait and see but I imagine they don't plan to go anywhere after getting a taste of being really good. Auburn will probably be our easiest game but they could easily turn it around too. Mizz will be good. If Kiffin stays which I think he will.. well you already know.Quote:

When I'm wrong, I catch hell around here. I'm fine with it though bc I'm pretty vocal lolQuote:

It shouldn't matter who is right or who is wrong. We've all been wrong at times, and that is partly why we're not the football coach or AD at Mississippi State.
banning bets are shit. no bans for anyone over a bet please.Quote:

In the OP and my bumps to the thread, I stated a "voluntary" ban, (I wouldn't post for a week, changed from a month, if we upset OM). We get "Croomed", others may need to adjust their comments. Maybe, i should have put **** on my Thread name and my OP. Hail State, Beat OM!Quote:

So far I'm good with Lebby because we're obviously much improved from last year's team. The players appear to give their best effort even when losing games they know they can't come back and win. Some of the game time decisions I think are because we're forced to try something different because of the talent difference.
Winning this year's Egg Bowl would be huge for us. We can show recruits we're putting the pieces together and heading in the right direction.
