Wouldn't have been any different if Mullen had been established or gone to four straight bowl games or won four out of five. I'm not sure we ever had a chance at Brassell or Singleton, but I think we basically walked away from Johnson. Not sure if it was b/c of naivety or b/c we felt he was reneging on a deal, but things will be different this year, and it won't primarily be because of Mullen being established.

We will probably lose a good recruit to Ole Miss simply because we lead for more than either school historically would get and if it stays that way, UM will up the ante to a place we don't want to go just to lessen the sting, but we won't simply bow out this year.
