I mean WTF? Why do people say this about us?
What about Boykin, Kyle Allen, Chad Kelly, etc?
David Pollack: "Dak Prescott could've been in the National Title picture with a different team and different talent."
We really need Fitz to succeed next year to prove a point
Our own fans say it... All over twitter regarding LSU and Dak.
It's true...
It's funny people say that and not, "If Leonard Fournette came to MSU, he could've been apart of the national title picture."
Seriously, what if MSU had Fournette?
I don't get the argument & it's just a sign that people can't wrap their minds around teams other than traditional power competing and having good players
It is true....why even try and deny it? Don't take it personally...there have been plenty of players that could have been said about over the years.
Same could be said for Treadwell.
If only Kimchee, Tunsil, & Treadwell attended Bama, they could've been in the national championship picture,Quote:

We needed more than 1 OL guy last year to get in the playoff. Bama and OM raped our entire OLQuote:

Our OL is below average, but it's compounded by poor running back play as well.

We're the only team in D1 that gets picked on for having little to no talent in the media. Despite recruiting top 20-30 most years out of 130 something programs. They love us.
Not even close to trueQuote:

However, nobody knows what type of QB Dak ends up being if he is not tutored by Dan Mullen. I bet if he had been coached by Les Miles and that joke of a staff in QB development he would have just been an average SEC QB at best.Quote:

I swear WHEN we win a national title we have fans that will be pissed because we gave up too many points doing it or the AP vote wasn't unanimous. Enjoy the moment people. 9 wins doesn't happen that often here, yet.
Well Pollack is correct, but you can say that about most everyone. If Marcus Mariota and TJ Yeldon has played for Ohio State, they could have won a natty last year. If Ezekial Elliott played on a different team with different talent, he could be playing for a championship this year.
Yeah, he could have gone to LSU and blocked for LF7. Been a great FB or TE.
No its not. Just didnt take atvantage last year. Dak had all the talent he needed. We just choked as a coaching staff vs bama.Quote:

This year? Yeah, Bama raped our O-line.

And we still got a lot of yards on them this year with our awful o-line.Quote:

Talking about this year? Yeah.Quote:

I agree that Mississippi State gets picked on by the SEC even more than Kentucky and Vanderbilt. We have a much brighter recent history but people clown us like we have been and always will be a dumpster fire which isn't true. All that being said at least we didn't get called North DAKota State in our own state.
dont know why everyone is so upset at an observation that most know is probably accurate .... David Pollac has showed us more respect and usually has a much better truly unbiased assessment than any of them
Kimchee was committed to Clemson so he would be in the playoff this year....
It is actually true. Not an exaggeration.Quote:
