We're not going to get outbid and we are amassing resources and actually while we may not have the history of the blueblood SEC schools, our atmosphere and everything is competitive with everyone else.

So, bringing up Dan is going to wherever else is silly at this point. He's going to end up being our best coach in the modern era and might end up with a statue in front of the stadium.
I think UM finally getting hit for all the shit they have been doing might have created more positivity in the Mullen household. I can't blame the guy for getting fed up with the Network constantly buying players out from under him and paying guys to not visit. UM was not only getting a leg up on Dan by paying players but also putting MSU at a disadvantage by paying players not to visit and with newspaper coverage. The cream is rising to the top now but I don't know if I could have waited it out myself.
