5 in the regular season. Only got the 6 because of graduation rate and being damn lucky beat a terrible G level team. We sucked ass in 2016.

That low still went to a bowl. Sucking ass is Tech and 10, or 3 straight 3 win seasons.

Making a doom and gloom thread about how MSU can never compete at the highest level then two posts later calling someone a poor ole Misipy Tate fan takes an incredible lack of self awareness.

[confucius say]

You’re right, all those boosters live in the states that the schools are in.

Still waiting on the names. Would you like me to do the state of Texas now? Even if LSU had a small group of billionaire boosters, which there is no evidence of, 75 million is a lot of money to not even miss.

Easy on the hyperbole.

Mississippi State will never compete on a national stage in football, ever.

We compete on the national stage every single season every single game in football. All of our games are televised by ESPN Networks and/or CBS. Those are national networks.

MSU is in no way capable of matching the funding necessary to reach the CFP. We don't live in that neighborhood, we're in the nice subdivision just down the street, the one that's not gated.

Ole Miss is 24th in athletic revenue
Clemson is 26th
Mississippi State is 31st

When did we play in the CFP? I must have missed that.

You have a comprehension issue.

Typical response. Thanks for reinforcing the stupid.

If you're going to pout about the odds being stacked against us making the CFB playoff, and anything less than making the playoffs is considered a failure to you, then it would probably be best for you to start posting here:

Thank you, but I’m not pouting, just stating it the way I see it. If you don’t like it or consider me negative don’t read it you have that opportunity.

I don't buy this...

A lot of fingerin' pointing at Saban & Bammer but they don't hurt the MSU cause as much as some of the other programs do, IMO... & Bammer is as much Steppin' Stone U as you cats, right now.

Also, there are 11 other games on the schedule that are equitably important... And 11-1 in the SECW will get you in the CFP a lot of the time and a Big Time Bowl, for certain...

AU, A&M and LSU are simultaneously beatable right now... Arkie and Ole Miss are as bad as I've seen them in a while and KY is, well, they're Kentucky...

Just some random Bammer thoughts...

I agree with all of this. We have 11 winnable games almost every year. Even with Bama being a loss, it still gives you a chance at the Playoff if the schedule ends up tough and the ranking is still high.

Really? You have a brain functioning correctly issue.

Soft as a tampon. Ole Miss has a larger athletic budget than Clemson bruh. Your thread is stupid.

[Maroonthirteen]

We likely were one regular season W away in 2014. Definitely in if we'd beaten Bama (even w/ a loss to Ole Miss). And if we'd beaten Ole Miss, the committee would have had to drop us from #4. It can be done. Will it happen again? Maybe, maybe not.

I appreciate the 2014 season. However it was the biggest tease, let down and kick in the nutz of any season for me. To lose to the same ole damn rivals to be punched out of the CFP and losing the bowl game.... damn.

2014 was our chance to change the program to get to the next level. It didn?t happen.

[Maroonthirteen]

What holds States football program back isn’t money. It is the inability to obtain large numbers of nfl talented players.

This is because of ..... 1. Small state population. 2. two sec schools in state. 3. Two big time sec programs across the state line poaching the MS talent any time they feel like it.

That’s why we aren’t Bama or Oh State or etc etc.

You’re looking at revenue not giving or donations there tough guy. Not that it matters to you.

I don't care about "revenue", I care about the spending on football. Clemson might only be 7 spots higher than us in revenue, but they spend $111M and we spend $86M. That's $25M more money to go around. Say just $5M of that goes to football... can you imagine what we'd do with $5M more in assistant pay? Hell we'd double everyones pay with 1.5M left to keep whoever still had other offers
