    We got CFB Joe Montana for 3 more years. Think about that
    I was doubtful myself. But you can't objectively look at the wins over ranked teams this year and say it won't work. If Leach can recruit a great defense at MSU, look out. We have had great defenses in the past, but usually did not put them together with great offenses.

    And getting behind and knowing you have no chance of coming back. Soooo many years of that. Losing but fans still screaming RTGDF... like, we've done that for 100+ years.

    Yep and it's time we tried something different and it's starting to work.

    Not you directly, but ppl now saying "I wasn't sure" were absolutely ripping leach a new a-hole and saying how much he's "set back the program" until we can get back to 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Hahaha!

    Florida would make sense if they tried to steal leach but they are too stupid,

    I think leach retires in Starkville after making a b c s playoff run.

    Like CC24 said earlier... where are all the negative posters?? I sadly believe these ppl really would rather us lose than to admit they were wrong.

    The 7-5 or 8-4 we will end up with isn't the same 7-5 or 8-4 we've had in years past. If you want to get recognized you have to beat quality opponents. In the past we would go 7-5 or 8-4 with no ranked wins. Or maybe 1.

    This year we have 4 ranked wins and could end up with 5. That's what gets you big time recruits and folks to respect your program. Not all 7-5 seasons are created equal and Leach is doing what he needs to do to bring notoriety to the program.
    Excellent point!

    I agree Tater. And to this uneducated eye, The game has slowed down for Will. He's going through his progessions so fast now(today anyway).

    On one TD he went thru all 4....then came back to Johnson close to the goal line for the TD(I think).

    That's ****ing amazing for a 19 year old at ground level to do. I had the luxury of broadcast view. He's learning and reading right before our eyes. Really, the only thing that has truly stopped him all game this year is the greatest defensive football mind coming up with brand new wrinkles to stop us. That's literally it. He gets reps against what the defense is doing and he adjusts and finds the weakness. This is why I'm excited.

    There were glimpses last year of an offense ready to hit on all cylinders when all cylinders fired simultaneously. There was ethanol fuel without additive in 2020. 2021 they?ve adds a little StaBil to the offense with continuity and repetitiveness. Next years offense will be ethanol free.

    Good point. Will is going through his reads about four times as fast as he did at the beginning of the year. The Danny wuerfell comparison is a good one if will continues to improve. Wuerfells arm was too weak to make it 8n the nfl but he was a better athlete than given credit. Several nfl teams gave him a shot iirc.

    This all day! As y'all know - we have wins against 4 ranked teams and two on the road. That will interest recruits.

    It won't make much difference. Do it over time and it will.

    Amen! We are watching the maturation of what will be one of the greatest QB's to ever wear the Maroon and White. Buy your tickets now and for the next several years ladies and gentlemen because this is going to be fun.

    It's time to get behind this team and this system - Leach is not going anywhere and it is going to be exciting. Buy your tickets while you can....they will be scarce.

    Even if Leach failed he was 100% the right hire. MSU has to take chances in football in order to try and gain an edge.
