Future of College Football and MSU

[MoreCowbell]

We are financially almost the exact same as Ole Miss. They didn't not go to the playoff this year because of money. They didn't go because their coach shit the bed. This is the only era in the history of CFB that we have ever had a chance to go to the playoffs and we will 100% get there with the right coach in place. We will never do it consistently, but the current era of parity could literally not be better for a school like us. We suck currently because of awful administrative decisions and the unfortunate event of our head coach dying. A good coach can have us right in the mix. Kids are not sitting on the bench at Alabama and Georgia any more. The playing field has never been more level. We just had a top ten portal class. If we suck under Lebby it's because Lebby sucks. Not because we aren't financially stepping up to be competitive.

They are way ahead of the curve and their timing was perfect. They have a bigger brand than us and Oxford has a great reputation. Our coach died and Starkville sucks. NIL came at the worst time for us. They have definitely pulled way ahead of us the last 2-3 years. Hate to say it.

Like 34 said, I want badly to have optimism but I am a realist. Have pretty much already checked out on football. Watched like a quarter of 4 games this year which is insane to think about.
