    Let's go ahead and assume

    We don't know shit.

    1. We thought the OL was going to be strong point of the offense - wrong.

    2. We thought a proven qb from Stanford would carry the offense - wrong.

    3. We thought the receivers (as a whole) bought into the new system and would flourish - wrong.

    4. We changed our minds after the LSU win..... And thought we'd win more than 3-4 games - wrong.

    5. We thought the defense would be garbage and every game would be a shootout - wrong.

    So..... Since we don't know shit..... Quit assuming we know anything going on with the coaches and players. Don't assume players are quitting, coaches are late, arnett is leaving, etc.

    We lost 2 straight games to bad teams..... We are who we thought we were..... And let's just hope the team builds on this going forward.

    About the last part, leach brought the conjecture on with his "malcontent" comment.

    He created assumptions..... But that's what Leach does. He isn't all coach speak and we knew this.

    I don't think our fanbase is mature or rational enough to handle leach.

    Sounds like a normal MSU year to me.

    If we had enough talent to beat LSU then we certainly had enough talent to score one damn touchdown against Kentucky .... this isn't totally a talent thing
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    if Osirus-Man's up and catches the ball and Walley catches a ball that hits both hands--we score 2 TDs. So players have to make plays. having QBs that throw 6 ints-just won't beat anyone. The Ol and QB play has to improve.

    We had 6 picks. 2 in the freakin end zone! Our offense has to make plays... Leach has to help the o-line out some and close the splits. sEC defenses are too fast for those wide splits. Other than that, man up and make a play... Our defense is... why can’t our offense... I don’t give a damn if we play all freshman now. Someone make a play and stop being a ****ing bitch....

    Preseason predictions on most teams are wrong, nothing new. However, after 3 games we do know a good bit, not all by no means but we know something. Most of it bad and a few good.

    I don't think our OL is that bad. First our QB has had time to throw. Decisions taking way too long. Also the wide splits would make a lot of OL look bad at times against SEC DE. If we were running the spread, the OL would look pretty good.

    We don't know shit is right. Coming to that realization with Mullen leaving, Joe not working out and 2 bad losses in the middle of Covid would seemingly be obvious.

    But some people insist that they know how things ought to be. And they are continually disappointed.
