-21.5 vs Western Michigan

[Goldendawg]

Interesting.

When we get 22 points up, can Wright play more than two consecutive plays?***

[BeardoMSU]

We can still go 8-4 is what nobody wants to hear

If we make a change at QB. No offense.

ETA: and a lot of other stuff. At this point, I'll be surprised with 6-6.

[Coach34]

LOL. We weren't firing JoMo after 2 seasons and 2 wins against OM. And the Pirate was never gonna come to Starkville.

I never said we werent firing JoMo- I completely said it was possible. The piss and the miss saved his ass but I absolutely never thought we would be crazy enough to hire Leach. Yet here we are

[Goldendawg]

Per 247, CZA will be retained for another year.

So, No dollars from me in NIL

Our contributions are a family centered activity with decisions made by all since the passing of my late Dad. We have agreed for me to check if we are paying above our minimum Bulldog Club contribution to retain our 8 season tickets. If so, we will lower our substantial contribution for the 2024 year. 8 to 12 tickets for over 50 years and this is bad and not even entertaining to watch. Told my MSU grad school son it would be easy to get out of the parking lot and back to his apartment, if we stayed the entire game. Was sad to see it was a few die hard State fans and far too many bama fans even in section 4 at the end.

[Bothrops]

The offense will look like a well oiled machine this weekend. We ought to sit Marks though.

[Goldendawg]

See! If we would have gone ahead and hired Hugh Freeze last December you wouldn?t have to worry about a fool mouth red neck coach. Them boys would be in church 3 times a week, Bible study twice a day and perfect gentlemen on the football field!

Saw the picture of the Rev baptizing one of his AU players last week in what appeared to be an outside setting. Anyone else notice the two questionably dressed young ladies on the bank waiting to get him out of his wet clothes?*****. Asking for a friend.*****

Speaking of Freeze, wasn't there a rumor that they offered Will a sweet NIL deal that he balked on? Commitments and all.

[confucius say]

There were people here saying he wouldnt be fired- including myself. We werent paying millions to fire a baseball staff

I know. But Steve said it first, to his credit. Maybe he was strictly guessing, I have no clue.

They did.

[confucius say]

If the team quits and we go 3-9, arnett has to be fired.

4-8, we will see.

5-7 probably buys him another year.

Southern miss couldn’t beat us if we spotted them a 14 point lead. Arnett will be the coach in 2024.

[Todd4State]

Our defense is going to have to get a LOT better for that to happen.

[Todd4State]

They have zero information on that. But that's what will probably happen so they'll say they were correct. Easy guess.

Yep. Covering their ass.

If someone told me today that Arnett was going to be fired I wouldn't believe them even if it was Selmon and Keenum telling it to my face.

[Todd4State]

LOL. We weren't firing JoMo after 2 seasons and 2 wins against OM. And the Pirate was never gonna come to Starkville.

Yeah. Normally I would agree with Coach on that but Arnett was hired in an exceptional situation to say the least. So- 4-8 probably means he's fired and I think the outcome of the Egg Bowl is going to determine a lot.

[Todd4State]

I don't know if they did but I know the ones on here with baseball inside knowledge were saying he would be retained. It does make more sense giving the coach with a national title already in his pocket another year.

This is true.

But I will say IF we had a complete meltdown in baseball it wouldn't have been completely off the table. Beating LSU and the team still playing hard at the end of the year along with firing Foxhall bought him another year.

The same thing here with football- our boosters are measured. Which is a good thing. They'll let the season play out which is the absolute correct thing to do. Heck- Bucky might be right and we end up at 8-4 for all we know. Maybe we do end up 6-6. Maybe we end up 4-8. Everything is still on the table at this point.

I agree on 4-8. I think it's up in the air then. I think he's kept at 5-7 and definitely kept at 6-6.

[Todd4State]

It also depends on who he beats too. 5-7 with an Egg Bowl win? I think we give another year with new coordinators. Similar to Dan in 2016 after he fired Sirmon. 5-7 with the SEC win over Arkansas? Eh...maybe not.

If we do bring Arnett back I'm fairly sure we're going to have new coordinators. Probably with significantly more experience.

Nope. Some of us got exactly what we wanted with 2 good ol boys following Arnett around all game. No excuses. We wanted to get tougher and more physical by getting rid of every trace of one of the toughest coaches of all time

How sad. Not surprising though.

I agree. So He has 4 wins guaranteed. That's why 3-9 would be an automatic firing.
4-8 makes it hard to keep him though. That's realistically as bad as you can possibly do. He would have achieved the absolute floor.
