We are divided and entirely too ignorant to ever get it together and actually do something in this current iteration of college football. No one, not on person that matters cares what your top 15 list is.
    This post really reads like ChatGPT gobbledygook. Do better.

    I mean, yeah, he seemed like he was proving me wrong for a little while in both games, and then choked them both away. I really wish he had gotten it done.

    Thats my point. Hes working with nothing and we expect the wins to come before the talent. Makes no sense

    We’ll do it with the next coach too. He wont get a budget, lose and we’ll argue on this board again. Rinse repeat

    We have to many that are waiting to believe. Thing is, believing is easy knowing is hard. That?s the issue. They have people who bought in because they know it is the best thing to do for the university. We never have understood that fact. We wait to believe as they know what to do.

    3 years of demoralizing results with no sign of things getting better. Why waste 4 hours of my day off to watch us get embarrassed by our rivals?

    I appreciate your optimism but Lebby has brought this on himself.

    We are reactive and they are proactive. Everything from the AD down to the $5 fan. They are also in lockstep with messaging. We are not. We have too many of the $5 fans that think their opinion matters. They understand that you have to pay to play.

    Elitedawgs should start charging a monthly straight into our NIL so we can confirm the arm chair cowboys are at least putting money where their mouth is

    Scooba floated that idea……it did not go over well to say the least. I for one love the idea though.

    Buying in doesn?t equal success. It makes it easier but there?s plenty of schools spending big money that are trash. A&M pre elko, LSU, Auburn to name a few. You still have to have the right guy to maximize those dollars.

    Kiffin proved he could be successful and the money started rolling in. He?s in year 6 and the checkbooks really opened up in year 4. Had Lebby beat UT, UF, and UT he?d have checks coming in too

    Fair point but we dont know how it works here until we do it. And being out on Lebby before we try is asking for a rerun with a different name next go around

    The money started rolling in for Lane July 1,2021. That was the first day NIL became a thing. They had been preparing for months. Our AD was busy plotting how the baseball team could make money off signed baseballs. Again, reactive and not proactive.

    We have never gone all in on football. If we ever did, we would be surprised with the results. We could throw 18-22 million together each year for a roster if we would go all in. Unfortunately we will never do it.

    We've now had 2 seasons where Lebby has won fewer games than an "average coach" would have.

    This year, the boosters gave him a roster that could easily have 7 or 8 wins right now, maybe 9 with a good coach, and Lebby gave them 5-6. Who's going to give him even more money next year?

    I mean, if we knew that the talent was going to improve next year, even I would be willing to give him 1 more chance just to make sure, but all signs point to him having less talent, less fan support, less attendance, less enthusiasm, and ultimately less success and less employment at MSU.

    It's over for Lebby. We won't fire him until after the '26 egg bowl, but he's done

    $$$ make the right guy a much easier target. $$$ make talent acquisition much easier. You are right it takes the right guy. But our situation is not theirs. Neither is the confederates. But they were proactive when they hired Kiffin and have not hesitated to give him and the program everything needed for success. We on the other hand are reactionary. We could have the perfect guy and our lack of support puts them in a lose, lose situation. Until we figure this out our football situation will continue to be as is.
