Hopefully for us, it's a slow and steady wins the race type build.
I think it's a situation where Ole Miss was closer to whatever their ceiling is from the start and because of that there is only so much further they can go. On the other hand we were so far behind I believe we are just starting to scratch the surface.

Like I said, I think the problem we have is buy in for various reasons. Our fans at first didn't want to pay players, it was promoted at all by Cohen unless you wanted a signed baseball for 800 dollars, and I think a lot of the locals like the idea of someone coming to MSU and spending five years there and watching their full development from freshman to hopefully Dak Prescott.

Ole Miss has always had a do whatever it takes to win mentality and actually glorified cheating. I remember being about I guess 6 years old in church- this was one of the largest in Jackson- and after the service I remember hearing a gentleman bragging about how he "got a player to Ole Miss" and I wasn't sure what he was talking about. So I asked my Dad and my Dad said he was full of hot air and that he was talking about giving a player money to go to Ole Miss. Now, my Dad was probably right about the guy being full of hot air but at the same time it's an example of how their culture is because this was the 80's I'm sure when that incident happened.
