Good win tonight. Here are some pompous asshole thoughts.....

- 9 straight bowl games. Don't take it for granted. It's tied for the 11th longest bowl streak in the nation. Don't take it for granted. I realize that this year will never be everything that everyone dreamed of, but from 30,000 feet, the program is still growing. This bowl streak is so important because it's changing the history of Mississippi State football. If we continue to consistently be competitive for years to come, we will eventually have a fan base full of people that weren't alive in the 80s or the Croom era. They will only know winning football. If this bowl streak had started in 1981, where would we be now? That's how important this is. In any given year, it's not terribly difficult to win 6 games, but over the course of a decade, it's difficult to never be bad, bottom out, or go on probation.

- The JoMo offense is starting to click. It's fairly clear to my eyes that the players now appear to know what they are doing & are doing it faster & with more confidence than in earlier games. I know, I know, I know, we should've beaten Florida & KY, but we had a first year coach, a new offense, & our QB missed much of Spring practice. It is what it is. Build a bridge.

- Tucker Day was significantly better tonight. I still think he has another level though. His plant foot was actually leaving the ground tonight during his follow through, which is a more athletic movement that produces more momentum through the ball. However, he has another level because he can clearly explode though the ball a little more.

- I think Stephen Guidry is close to becoming a #1 WR for us. As you can see, he's starting to make big plays. He still disappears at times, but teams maybe starting to shade coverage his way, which is why other guys are wide open. If we have a QB step up, I think Guidry can have a huge 2019.

- Incredible the jump that our DBs have made in ball skills. It seemed like an MSU tradition that the DBs never turned their heads only for the ball to go right by their head & into the WRs arms. I'm not really sure what the difference is, but, other than talent maybe, I want to believe that Bob Shoops' history as a DB coach has added a little extra to that position unit. They'll find out what they are made of next week.

- Overall, I think it's worth noting that JoMo's offense has appeared mostly better than Mullen's against non-conference competition. I think Mullen is a master of covering up deficiencies, but average to below average at raising the ceiling. Seems like against teams that we have talent advantages against, Moorhead's offense is way more explosive.

- At Bama, I just want to see a coach call plays with his balls hanging out & coaches with aggression. We'll get blown out but let's go in there & have fun & be aggressive. None of this going into a shell & playing not to lose crap.
