Bo Bounds this morning taking about balance

[sandjunky]

OM is 62nd in Scoring D this year- they were 113 in Scoring D last year. Mac has done a good job improving them on D. Not sure why you guys have trouble accepting facts

It’s because it’s ole miss which tends to bring out the irrational emotions of a 13 yr old

They returned 8 starters on defense. I gave some facts. Sure they are improved on defense from rock bottom last year. But that wasn?t the point.

Point is ....?hopefully our fans are listening...?. So we are taking direction from Bounds? Bounds says things everyday that are exaggerated opinion to drive listeners but aren?t necessarily true.

Bo is about ratings first and foremost. That is why we accomplish nothing by paying any attention to him.

[Ari Gold]

McIntyre has done a very good job with that def but damn it had no where to go but up ..
also they have 4-5 Sr DL and a couple of Sr Dbs as well. They arent a young defense
They Gave up almost 60 to LSU. 38 to mizzu . Almost 60 to Bama .

And with the (close games) talk ..
Halftime scores were as followed
31-7 LSU
38-10 Bama
Yes they competed ( unlike we have ) in the second half and yes Plumlee is one helluva of an athlete..
It just strange tho if you talk to a few of the OM faithful and look at some of their message boards 3/4 of them want RR gone. And last year as Longo basically lead the league in offense they wanted him gone as well...

They may very beat our ass, hold us to less than 21 and put up 40 ..
But again this is a ****ing 4 win team that will be coming here in about a week.
Listening to some of our fans, OM is in the hunt for a playoff spot

One thing we do know next Thursday is the last game OM plays .. unless they can back door into a 5-7 bowl like Dan did.
Our guys should be a little extra motivated for that 6th win. But who knows... The head coach better be or it will be his last one here ..

Very accurate... remember this is the guy that said Kevin Sumlin was the next big thing ..
I don’t listen to the show , but from twitter it looks like Coach O winning at LSU has really gotten under his skin

Very well laid out Ari. I think the Egg Bowl will be a wild emotional game, it's hard to predict, let's hope we can score against a poor defensive team, they will put up around 30 points or more.

[msstate7]

I don't really get the "OM is a 4-win team"... well, we are too. The only difference between them and us is we played a lesser G5 team and won. Had we switched ULL for Memphis, we have the same record.

I think just like almost every year, you can throw out the record book when it comes to the Egg Bowl. The team that wants it more usually wins it and it isn't always the best team.

I will say that UK is the best team that either of us have beaten but UK also wouldn't have the record they have now without moving Bowden to QB. Moorhead has definitely leveled the playing field in the wrong direction while RR and McIntyre have moved UM in the right direction.

That’s my point , It has nothing to do with US. Both teams have 4 wins , both teams aren’t good..

the point is I have never seen a 4 win team get as much love on here than OM has..
When OM fans make their silly statement that State fans are obsessed with them , this makes their argument..

If what homedawg says is correct about the egg bowl being an ultimatum for Moorhead, go OM. I want Moorhead gone

With football, both fan bases always see the OM cup as half full and States cup half empty. Bounds even stated that last week. Saying OM fans are usually optimistic and State fans pessimistic. I would 100% agree with that take.

It is because we have had enough 2014, 2015, and 2017 type of games where we should win but then we lay down. We rarely win when we are the favorite.

Yeah for years he talked about how Coach O was shitty and not the answer at LSU. He's eating big time crow.

1 game is not worth letting Moorhead continue to destroy our program. We won the egg, yay! We go 4-8 next season if we keep joe

You say what I want to say so much better than I do.

He may be gone regardless, I want him gone but I also pull for our football players and all other student athletes. How could anyone can pull against the guys on the field is beyond me.

I see it differently. I find a mass on my kidney, and I'm willing to cut it off/take the kidney/whatever, no matter how painful bc I know it's for my best long term. Moorhead is a malignant tumor on our football program, and some pain in meantime is worth getting rid of him.

This analogy makes the point I'm trying to make, but state football is no where near as serious as life/death so don't think I'm saying it is

[TrapGame]

I think he is gone no matter what happens in the EB. His friends in the business have stated publicly on SXM that he's not happy in Starkville. "He looks defeated." is a direct quote. Joe wants to finish 6-6 for resume purposes. Programs like Illinois, UMass and BC will take him b/c of Penn State not Mississippi State.
