Lebby accomplished 3 of 4 goals that most had for this season:

[Tater]

- Upset a ranked opponent
- Win an SEC game
- Make a bowl game
- Beat Ole Miss

No need to look at the formula under the hood. He did accomplish 3 of the 4 things we asked.

Next year:

- Beat Ole Miss
- Win all non-con
- Winning record in SEC play
- Upset a ranked opponent

Can we get 3 of those 4 next year?

Lebby did not make a bowl game. He backed into one with a losing record because they needed somebody to fill a spot after every other team ahead of us chose to decline it. Giving Lebby credit for that is laughable, and the mentality of a loser. He did beat a ranked opponent though, and technically beat an SEC team. I'll give you those.

Oh hell Tater... I'm all for content, but all this is going to do is rehash the same sh*t we've been reading for the last two months.

He, in the most literal sense, made a bowl game.

[Maroon Glasses]

I'm gonna do the Mississippi State fan thing where I get my hopes up really high and convince myself next year is the year!

Lol, all bs aside.. I feel like we get 3/4. I do not think we will have a winning record is SEC play. I think our schedule is gonna be harder next year. I'll predict we beat Auburn and Ole Miss. MAYBE SC.. depending on which team decides to show up.

It?s embarrassing.

I?m glad KT gets extra reps, but accepting this bowl bid makes us looks small time. Maybe some of us look at MSU that way, I don?t.

It?s a joke.

All about giving credit when it's earned but .......

[EdwardDrayton]

No. We were gifted a bowl game by other teams who earned it and chose not to go. And we'll thank them for the benefit we'll derive from it.

[basedog]

I could care less how we were “gifted or awarded” the bowl game. I look at as a chance to win another game.

[Tater]

Oh yeah I was hoping those people would come fight in this thread and not shit on us getting in a bowl. You know this was a good bait post for them.

And more importantly win it in an impressive fashion for the tv audience.......”image is everything....” ole miss

Absolutely. But we don't add it to someone's resume as an accomplishment.

Think it makes us look like a program not backing down. I think everyone who forgoes a bowl game is soft

Since we are playing in one, Lebby did make a bowl game.

I agree. We get money and a chance to win. What’s there to complain about?

We didn't earn the bowl, but it's a great gift. KT gets more reps and to face a team we should beat to end this season with a good taste in our mouth instead of losing out. We're favored by 3 BTW

How great would it be to end with a step change in performance and a win.

Oh no now I have to plan on drinking beer and watching my favorite team play a Friday night in January. Like damn just be happy
