I like Gibson. It's hard to overlook Lee's YPA though. I understand why he doesn't play and I hope he gets his act together.

Quit with the bitching until you have something to bitch about. Do you just lie around dreaming up shit? **** Chris Brown and the horse he rode in on.
I'm saying it could have been even better. And just think how good it's going to be without Dak who was not only our best passer but essentially our best running back.

I like how you think. And I would love to see some diamond formation stuff next year.

Really? The diamond again?
Think about our O-Line and how defenses would attack the diamond.
We run a spread offense

Sorry I come across as a little thin-skinned at times. Never would have taken issue with your post anyway. As Johnson85 said, there is evidence he is making some changes.
I also suspect, after last year, he figures he will probably be around longer than he thought, so may be more motivated to get it done here. I've posted before a source I have told me he was looking at Maryland, in part because he was frustrated with OM cheating. Now that they are about to get busted, perhaps he's not looking for the exit anymore.

I also heard the same thing from a well connected booster, that Dan was fed up with the unm cheating and the playing field not being level in that regard. Things changed though when it got real with the NCAA and unm and he's been re energized. We shall see.

Hahahahaha! Todd is frustrated by Mullen's stubbornness with the OL and you are frustrated at his diamond formation and he isn't even a coach. Hilarious!
Todd you should go and volunteer to coach a pee wee football team and run the diamond.***
Death penalty or bust!!!***

What?!? I'm a fan of most of your posts, but c'mon... you forget the ***?? I could have caught that pass. Not perfect, but geez.

Well I didn't have a great angle at the game, but it looked to be a really poor pass. I hope you can forgive me since you're probably the only fan of my posts haha

It was a poor pass and a very difficult catch for Shump. That was on Dakota

This whole thing about not playing more talented Rb's because of pass blocking issues after two years... yeah.. I'm not buying that shit anymore.
So what's the main issue? Attitude, approach to studies, somebody wears a dirty sanchez to practice? Can anybody she'd some real light here..?

It was a poor pass, but not an uncatchable one. It hit him in the hands, but he did have to reach back awkwardly for it. A playmaker probably makes the catch.

Talking about the LSU game? Where Shump let the ball roll off his chest in the endzonr?

Exactly. Could it have been caught? Possibly. Was it a bad pass? Absolutely.
It's ok to say Dak made a mistake he's great but it was a poor pass & he'd tell you the same.

Exactly. We can blame 32 for alot of shit- that isnt one. 15 was to blame there.
Hell, 15 is the one that missed Walley wide open in the seam for a TD to jam the ball into Wilson for a 9 yard gain. If 15 reads the coverage- Walley walks in and there is no FG attempt vs LSU. Prescott was great- but he wasnt perfect.

Holy cow, no one is saying who's to blame for the loss of the game but Shump should've had it. Yeah the pass could've been perfect, but it hit his hands, chest, hands again and then the ground. I'm a Shump apologist, but that's obvious!

That's just it. The pass didn't have to be perfect if it would've just been ok he catches it. They ran a perfect play & the whole part of the end zone is open. He could've lobbed it to him. He decided to throw it on a line & then throws it behind him. Again it wasn't an impossible catch but if Dak puts the pass anywhere but where he did it's an easy pitch & catch.

Instead he cuts back left runs into dak and gets tackled for an 8 yard loss. Our ol weren't world beaters but shump made them look much worse when he ran the ball. He missed the hole 80% of the time.
Yea, I joked that if Shumpert was trying to run through the St. Louis arch he would somehow manage to hit one of the columns.

That made me laugh! I appreciate all our players and the effort they put out for State and shump plays hard, vision is just not one of his strong points. I just saw to many times last year where he just completely missed a hole.

To those saying "we were ranked _____ in the SEC! Offense isn't the problem!"....I say to you, then you and I have different goals for MSU football. I don't give a rats ass if we are #1 offensively in the country, you should ALWAYS try to maximize your offense. You don't just say, "Yea, we could gain 80+ more yards per game and 5+ more points per game if we would go ahead and move Aeris to starter....but F it, we'll be top 5 offensively even wasting 8 plays a game, so let's just do that instead." That's ignorance.
You aren't always going to have an equal offense and defense. But guess what, if you have an above average offense and maximize its' potential...you may not have to be equally good defensively to still win most of your games. The problem is, we don't maximize our offense, so in order to beat good teams we have to rely on our weaker units to play over their head bc we're giving away potential points and yards offensively by trotting guys like Shumpert out there. It's stupid. Period. This isn't intramurals, brother...this is the SEC. You don't reward the less talented hard worker with starting RB game reps in this league. You put your most talented RB in at starting RB, and if he doesn't know the play book or pass blocking....You. Teach. His. Ass. So. He. DOES. You're the coach....so COACH
That's my opinion.
