I can see us being 5-0 going into the by week.
W- Ragin cajuns
W- Southern Ms
w - KSU
W - UK
w - Auburn...
I 100% love our schedule with LSU, Bama, KSU, UK, and Ole Miss at home.

pump the brakes. when JoMo beats Auburn and is actually 5-0 then maybe folks can try to buy in. Until then It's just a lot of coach speak.
Those rankings are based on projection and mean nothing. You actually have to go out an win the games.
4-0 imo is pretty much a given. Saying we will beat Auburn to get to 5-0 isn’t that much of a stretch.Quote:

I like having KSU, UK, and OM at home. But having LSU and Bama at home is usually a bad thing for us. They're generally losses anyway, and you don't want guaranteed losses at home.Quote:

If we aren't 4-0 heading in to the Auburn game we will be in for a rough 2 months following it.
Agreed. That four game stretch to begin the season is the easiest we’ve had in quite some time.Quote:

We have gone to 9 bowl games the past 9 years. We are starting to get street credit and enjoy it don't bitch about.
And God forbid someone coming in here and being positive you all are like a pack of Indians on a wagon full of women.

You could make a case that DT is the only position unit that we are substantially worse at compared to last year.
Others whether by experience or a new player, you could argue we are equal to better at.
First, I think rankings should not happen until after month 1 of the season.Quote:

It’s the MSU way.Quote:

My comments were not a complaint.Quote:

Well this is a first, we are sour and saying we are over ranked and over hyped this year
Shit enjoy it.. maybe we will get lots of pre season hype .. The more the better.
Just because half of y’all don’t like Joe doesn’t mean you can’t pound your chest a little at the thought we might be pretty good this year..
Do we have a locked in QB starter yet, hearing rumblings that Mayden is making a push?

The rumblings you hear is because Mayden had a good showing in a spring practice scrimmageQuote:

The BIG wildcard here is if Moorhead is significantly better than what he showed last year but just went through the first year issues that Saban, Smart, etc all did.
2nd year is usually when you find out what you have with a coach.
No, I want joe to succeed. I just have doubtsQuote:

I dislike joe as our coach. I don't know him as a person. I want him to succeed though bc he coaches my school. Pulling for him to fail is pulling for state to fail. Why is this hard to understand?Quote:

There are changes that can make a difference, but I'm not sure much of it shows up in the rankings.Quote:

I really want to see Joe's offense start to click this season. If it's more of the same as last season then I don't see how even Schrader could save him in 2020.
Yeah, that's exactly why people were upset.Quote:
