Some of you need to think big picture.

Any alum who wants MSU to lose to OM, for any reason, needs to evaluate their loyalty to our school. I don't think we will win, based upon the current circumstances, but I'm sure not going to hope we ever lose to OM, in any sport and for looking at the big picture or whatever reason. I also want a coaching change ASAP too.

How many loses overall is a win vs OM worth? Hypothetical: We can go 1-11 with a win over OM, OR 14-1 with a loss to OM, but we win the SEC and the national championships. Which do you pick? I'd argue anyone who picks 1-11 isn't a State fan at all, just an OM hater.

But, lets say it's 6-6 with a win over OM vs 7-5 with a loss to them. I'd probably pick the 6-6 myself because beating them is worth 2 wins, not 1.

Now let's ask this hypothetical: If Joe starts, what will our record be next year? What will it be in '21 with a new coach who has to dig out of the even bigger hole we'll be in after year 3 of Joe vs 2? Now, what would the record over the next 2 years be with say, Norvell coaching both? It's probably 4 wins of difference. AND, with a new coach now, we'll be more likely to win the Egg next year and in '21 too.

Would you rather beat OM this year and probably lose the next 2 EB's and 4 more overall games? I wouldn't. Call me a OM fan if you want, but I believe losing to OM and getting a new coach will lead to more total wins vs OM alone than if we pull Thursday out AND it will be better for the program overall

Getting a new coach will do more good for our program than OM winning the Egg Thursday will do for theirs. For that reason, even if you're motivated by 50% State fan and 50% OM hater, you should want us to lose
