Since the Pirate's demise I haven't felt nervous about an upcoming game. I always had the expectation that it would be an L if it was a good team. I am not expecting a W this week, but I do expect a good chance for one.
Feels good to be nervous about Saturday
- Thread starter Bulldog Bruce
- Start date
Towards the end of last season, I had genuine thoughts of being just about done with college sports aside from baseball. Partially because of this new portal era, but I’m beginning to realize that most of it was just because I was so damn tired of sucking.
Fast forward to now, and it’s all back for me. We may not be a great team and we may gets our butts kicked Saturday, but were competitive and that changes everything

Having a real guy at QB changes everything. I honestly expect to have the better QB in every game we play, and that means we will be in every game. Exciting.
I've seen this game too many times. I'm not nervous. What will be, will be.
BUT, Saban, Hurts and Ridley won't be there. That's a plus.

To me, Lebby's best weapon against superior talent is tempo. Most of our deficiencies in talent on the offensive line can be hidden or covered up with tempo. We need success on first down in every game we play but especially against superior teams like Bama, LSU, Texas etc. When we go to sleep for quarter long stretches we get bogged down in long 2nd and 3rd down situations and it kills everything the offense is designed to do because it allows better defensive lines to force us into holding situations which we do frequently.
I'm not nervous. I'm excited. Win or lose, it's nice to see State be halfway decent and for me to be genuinely excited for game day again.
I just want us to not come out and lay an egg in the first half. Bama seems to have that effect on us no matter the quality of our team. If we can be competitive through halftime, I’ll feel like this team has really turned the corner.
If we didn’t have a MASH unit filled with defensive players, I would actually feel pretty good about this game.
Like the other poster, I was just about done at the end of last year. Winning helps a lot of ills, although the passion level is still muted to some extent.
I think if the bill passes and the portal gets fixed, it will prolly have me all the way back.

Bama is driving over Sat morning for an 11 game. Getting there about 730. Means they gotta leave Tusk about 6. Means they gotta be up at 4 to get ready,eat and meet Good move or no?
Also hearing that QB say how much he loves being at State. Counters that feeling that these guys are all just mercenaries.
There are parts of the bill I like, but I don't like the "only one transfer" portion. I think that should have been two. Part of me thinks that Saban was trying to put things back into the favor of the Alabama's again so they can recruit two 5-stars at every position since they won't be able to leave whenever they want.
Damn you. I was just going to type that I'm not nervous at all because I have no expectations of winning or really being competitive. I was expecting to come out overhyped just like USCe and Mizzou but not be able to recover against Alabama. Then you went and posted that.
What was surprising to me is that I went over to an Alabama message board, and several of them are legit nervous. That was kind of nice because I can't remember the last time that happened.
This feels to me like a game we lose. I hate to say it. A lot may just be past Alabama trauma. But I also felt the same way when we went down 24-17 against Missouri at first then said, "Sure, but we have a Heisman-candidate quarterback, and if he's really a Heisman candidate, he can mount a comeback. Let's see what happens."

I was the same, read your post, clicked the link, and now I'm freaking out because maybe we have a shot
I don't think it matters if they stay in Tupelo or Tuscaloosa. Unless they sneak out and hit the strip Friday night. Fingers crossed.
Seriously It's an easy drive from Tuscaloosa to Starkville. Especially with a Trooper escort.

Fluff is fine. He was coming back in the game. Taylor is good. No need to try and make something out of nothing here. Relatively speaking we are good 4 games into a season
Why the damage control? Are you worried Alabama coaches are trolling Sixpack for inside info?
Those guys are clearly banged up. Nothing wrong with stating the obvious.
There two edges are banged up and out for this week. I’m pointing out that being hurt and out are two different things. Every single team has some guys hurt not injured.
You weren't reacting to the Bama players being out. That has nothing to do with this, so I'm not sure why you're bringing it up. Someone rightly pointed out that KT and Fluff are banged up and you squashed it with a "they're fine." Fluff has taken some serious abuse three games in a row and KT's gait obviously proves that he is nursing and trying to play through a hamstring injury. They're warriors, and they'll give everything they've got, but they're banged up for sure.
This got turned into more that it actually is I think. Saban never came to Starkville prior to a game. They always bussed over the day of. Even morning games.
You have no sources. I don't know why you do this to yourself.
Oh look Drebin trying an attention seeking clown AGAIN. Not gonna hijack this thread. I stand by what I said. Oh. Look at my track record over last year or so… have a good one. Or are you gonna try and challenge me again to meet at sonic in kosy or Durant …or is it south farm.
You need someone in your life that you trust who is empowered to let you know when you're being a douche.
Just relax. What’s important here is that he knows more than you, gives more than you and cares more than you.
Regardless of how they felt Sunday morning those 2 guys have had physical therapy attention every free minute all week. Along with Isaac and everybody else. They been worked over like race horses. One more game and we get a bye. Im very nervous about this game. Beating Bama would be insane.
