I know that some of the know it all gods of ED said he was going to go to Ole Miss and get utilized. One of you actually said it was ?a certainty?.

Looks to me like he is recruiting to State, now why on Earth would he do that if he has plans of leaving?
Tulu has people who bleed maroon and white in his circle no need to worry.
Here's how I imagine some posters' lives.

Tulu was never going anywhere and he's been actively recruiting others to come here.
Nailed it! I can't give you anymore rep!Quote:

All the while finding everything positive to promote with the rival school.
Kind of like the people speculating that leach was going to retire for health reasons
And Arnette leaving. State pod casters can't stop talking about Arnettes next job.
My receiver goals for 2023:
Tulu and Zavion Thomas need the football. It can be screens, crossing routes, whatever. But we need to find some creative ways to get them the ball with room to operate.
Need to be able to work RaRa Thomas down the field more. And he's got to catch it like a man. RaRa needs to do what he's been doing and also take up some of Caleb Ducking's slack. He needs to step up and be that big guy that teams worry about.
Austin Williams and Jamire Calvin are certainly replaceable.
Speaking of, wasn't Mullen supposed to be named Monday as Leach's replacement?Quote:

That actually got into the sports media b/c of this site.
Bingo!!!! I know two for sureQuote:

JRob should get more playing time next year and could be that big guy receiver.Quote:

I don’t want CML to leave because frankly I am tired of us “bringing in his guys” and waiting. Run with something and see what ya get ….
Also, most fans don’t realize it but State is a baseball school all other sports are bonuses, winning seasons and postseason berths are fantastic, but State baseball is and has always put the mustard on our dogs.
Bert was just trollingQuote:

Glad we won a National Championship in baseball, but most of the country could care less about this college sport. Am told MSU baseball doesn't even pay its own bills. Maybe we should remodel Davis Wade for baseball and the Dude for football and see how that works out for attendance and finances for both sports and the University**. Football pays the bills and has a much larger fan ba$e. Enjoy watching most all State sports, but it is what it is with interest and revenue production. Hail State!Quote:

I trust our staff to make needed decisions, but our WR and QB rooms may need adjustments through more improved recruiting and the portal, JMO. Hail State!Quote:

We are one of the best in the nation keeping our athletic department in the black. Just like many on here kept saying we didn't have to money to buyout Leach, we do but financially we are very conscientious about our expenses and how we handle those situations.Quote:

How many times has the Dude been sold out over the past 40 years and how many times has the Hump or DWS sold out. If you put the same amount of seats in the Dude as the other two I guarantee you will have more butts in seats on average over the past 40 years.
Don?t get me wrong, this is not a recency bias but State has been in contention more for conference titles in baseball year in and year out since the 80s. No other sport at State can say that.
Thanks, wish we would put a little more of the surplus in our FB recruiting staff. Hail State!Quote:

Certainly better than Auburn. I think they're now paying 3 head coaches, plus a huge raise for Cadillac to be the associate head coach.Quote:

I will have to find it but the year we hosted ND in super regional MSU split money with ND and still made more money than the bowl for that year. That is from the school database.

Although Moorehead and Covid can be pointed to as having a pretty big impact in that.Quote:

A regional appearance is equivalent to being bowl eligible.
A super regional is a NY6 bowl
CWS is the BCS playoff
CWS championship series is well you guessed it the national title game
We have been to how many bowl games? How many NY6 bowl games? And how many BCS appearances and how many title games. You understanding yet?
Football is great but not our sport, our expectations have always been bowl eligibility
In Baseball I would dare say a super regional is the expectation and has been for a long time, what other sport has had that kind of staying power at State and I am talking since the 80s.
Wins in football and bowl games are a plus, March madness is a plus, a Regional is expected at a minimum and I really do think Super is the expectation.

It is limited to 15k because that is all it can hold, can the same be said for DWS with Standing room only tickets ?
At the UGA game I would dare say 1/3 of that attendance was in red.
Thanks. I'll have to bookmark your post so I can check it occasionally.Quote:
