Good grief you guys act like we're Jacksonville State. We've consistently ranked (recruiting) in the top 25-30 for 20 years now. We just came out of the golden era of State football. We have future NFL hall of famers playing in the NFL right now. Starkville is not Las Vegas but we know a ton of people up here (Memphis) that sent their kids to State (or do now) and they rave about how much they love Starkville. These are people that have no historical ties to State whatsovever, many of whom relocated to Memphis at some point for work. My son's girlfriend went with us to ONE game this past fall and she made her decision to go to State that weekend. She had never been to State in her life!

Bottom line, we just need the right coaching staff and we will be fine. Fine as in back to 7/8 wins, maybe 9 when stars align. It's all about coaching, period.
