Posts: 117 07/03/09 12:05 AM aka AshleySchaffer	Tags : None Taking into consideration what I would consider a difficult schedule, I would expect these type of responses for the given outcomes in the coming year: 3 wins = "ruh roh, not again" 4 wins = "not what I was hoping for, but the jury is still out" 5 wins = "was hoping for better, but kind of what I expected" 6 wins = "this could get interesting" 7 wins = "pop the cork we have us a winner" Is this a fair assessment or does it need to be adjusted by a game either way? I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'. Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake, 1997 Stunning Gig Posters

If we lose to a team like Vandy and they unexpectedly go 3-9, which I doubt happens, that would be a bad loss.

Posts: 1404 07/03/09 10:17 PM King of Pointless Knowledge Played at Meridian High	If we can't beat J-State, MTSU, Ga. Tech, Auburn with their incompetent 4-19 coach Gene Chizik, Vanderbilt, Kensucky, Houston at home, or give payback to OM and their alcoholic, neo-Nazi, latent-homosexual fan base, then we will always suck as a football program and have no business wasting our money going to Starkvegas in the fall. The only games I count as a sure losses are Arkansas and LSU, because MState has as many problems with those teams as State used to have against Bear at Bammer. Bammer? We've split the last 16 games with them. Florduh? They haven't won at Scott Field since it was actually called Scott Field.

Posts: 231 07/04/09 10:06 AM	They return almost everyone from last year's team, including their entire O-line. They are well coached and don't make mistakes, and it's on the road. I think we're a lot more likely to win at Kentucky or Auburn than we are at Vanderbilt. Also, Houston's a 50-50 game at best, with their high powered offense and Heisman candidate (well, that's pretty unlikely actually) QB. I might even put Kentucky as a more likely win than Houston.

Posts: 436 07/04/09 10:25 AM	- No hooded sweatshirts - No punting from your own 30 - No crying after every victory over Bama or Ole Miss - Even when you lose, it will be because the other team has better players, not because you have the worst offensive system in the SEC. Your favorite sports team scores a game tying point, you find a dollar in the street, you see someone you hate get their ass kicked in public, all of these blissful moments deserve, nay, demand the most communal of public displays of pleasure: The Landshark.

Posts: 13589 07/04/09 12:32 PM Our KB21	i'm not labeling whether our season is a success or not based on the number of wins in Mullen's 1st season . Due to a hellacious schedule and Croom's leftovers, its a given that wins are going to be hard to come by this 1st year. Mullen wasnt left with some top round draft picks the way Nutt was. Success for us this year will simply be looking more organized and being better coached. Because if that is the case, then we will start winning at Miss State.

We would have a much better shot at a bowl game with UM's cakewalk schedule. I might go watch when they play Mississippi School of the Blind and Deaf. Houston? MTSU beat Maryland? Give me a break. We used to play teams like Texas, Oklahoma State, and Oregon in our non-conference schedule. Who else do you want to play for non-conf, Colgate? The toughest SEC teams on our schedule are in Starkville. This is about as reasonable as our schedule ever gets. Now grow some balls and swap your panties for a jock strap.

Posts: 8157 07/05/09 07:04 AM Post Count + 10000	We are horrible. Last year, we were horrible and horribly coached. At least this year, perhaps we will be better coached. But we still have very little talent, so we should be concerned with every game on the schedule. Houston and MTSU could beat us, unless we come prepared. We can't sleepwalk against anyone.

Posts: 17190 07/05/09 04:09 PM The Godfather	to the discussion we had a few months ago... This is about as reasonable as our schedule ever gets I would much rather have the Kentucky's, Vandy's, and Arkansas's at home. In a year when we are projected to be down, those teams on the road make a W that much tougher. This year, you can pretty much chalk up LSU, Florida, and Bama as a loss no matter where we play them. But Kentucky, Vandy, Arkansas, and even Auburn, I would feel much better about getting a W if the game was in Starkville. I support the two most frustrating teams in America: The New Orleans Saints and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Posts: 11768 07/05/09 05:11 PM	We 17ing suck and we have 4 top 10 preseason teams coming to Starkville. We don't project to have a chance of hell of beating any of them no matter where we play them. All of our potentially winnable conference games are on the road, which gives our opponents a significant advantage. In 1999, I'd have loved to have this SEC schedule. But in 2009, I'd a lot rather it be reversed.
