I saw everything ya'll saw and understand that it was not a watershed victory, but the bottom line is we are 2-1 going into a home game with LSU. These are the precious few times its fun for a State football fan.

You may now resume the Zach Smith bashing.

Are you serious? LSU is gonna have their way with us.

Am I in the gd twilight zone here?? Everyone is throwing Zach Smith under the bus and praising Mullins for his AMAZING offense. He has the most boring inefficient offense in the land. We beat VANDY for the love of all that is good and kind in the world. ****

We just dominated a 7-6 bowl team who returned 16 starters on their home field. I can't believe the amount of bitching I have seen on the 3 MSU boards. Now is the time to enjoy it and get a little sheepish because there may not be many more victories this year.

While we usually play SEC teams close, for one reason or another LSU always has our number. They know that the way to beat us bad it by throwing deep. I don't see that changing this season. Especially because the deep ball is even more of a weakness for our secondary than usual.

For some reason every year, they are the only team that takes a bunch of shot down field. I guess that's why they consistently beat us really bad...

you are so caught up in thinking about how bad we are going to get beat that you forget we are 2-1 with a huge ranked opponent coming to town. If that doesn't excite you, you really don't get SEC football.

I mean, your post is exactly what I was talking about. Thank you.

I don't think anyone on campus next weekend that is a state fan thinks we'll win. But damn, State fans should be excited about the weekend.

at this point in our program, I don't care how we won or how good our opponent looked. The fact is that Vandy was absolutely dominated on both sides of the ball. Throw in the fact that LSU hasn't looked that impressive against those same Dores and there's no reason at all to not be excited this week. Living/Working in corndog country won't stop me from wearing my State gear this week. Screw'em, we're above .500 and are about to host three straight home games.

For all the LSU has our number people - this is probably the most vulnerable LSU has been in recent memory.

*When Zach Smith took that bad angle at Auburn when the running back went around the corner and down the sideline for a touchdown, I kicked my dog.</p>

we actually have a bulldog bash going on and a winning football team to watch this weekend.
Last season I couldn't describe how pissed i was the week going into the Auburn game(and last years bulldog bash) knowing that we were going to watch a terrible state team play against a very beatable auburn team.
This weekend iwll be everythign it should be. A huge party with tons of people in town and a full stadium and its a white out to watch one of 6 ranked opponents on our home schedule and hopefully we will be cooking those corndogs saturday at davis wade. //Although i don't feel like we will win its just one of those weeks we have to take in and enjoy before our record gets turned upside down.</p>

but seriously.

An 8pm kick would be insane. The 1121 deal is a buzzkill no matter how good you are. SEE LAST YEAR'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.

Mullen may not be lighting up the scoreboard, but the offense is far from inefficient. Look at the stats, we average 349 yards per game which is something that hasn't been done since pre-2001 JWS.

He's doing this with ZERO quarterbacks and a pretty pathetic offensive line that the genius from Tuscalooser left him. With the McCroomvey offense, we don't score a TD on Saturday. We had 2 big gains off the option on that same play, one with Relf and the TD by Lee. That play is right out of the Utah/Florida playbook. Mullen is doing a damn good job with what he has (no QB, bad O line, very young WR that don't have a clue how to block) and he's been as creative as he can be to get some kind of points on the board.

Sure we are going to get a mudhole stomped in us down the road but it's not going to be by LSU. We'll probably lose, but I'm not expecting a blowout by any means.

being an MSU fan? Seriously -- that's one of the benefits of being in the SEC. Your team gets to play national powerhouses almost on a weekly basis once the conference schedule starts. I know there's a 99% chance we're going to lose, and maybe badly. But there's always that 1%... Are there really people out there who consider themselves good fans who are waiting until we're FAVORED against LSU to get fired up and go to a game? Jeezus, people -- you may be in for a long wait.

Even if we don't win, go support the new coach, the players, and your alma mater (even if you're a sidewalk alumnus). Here's what you do on Saturday -- put on some maroon and white, take your family, meet some friends, tailgate, cook out, get drunk, whatever you want - go have fun and cheer for the Dogs against LSU. It's a pretty good day all in all. I guarantee you there will be a ton of LSU fans there who will be fired up.

You just never know. I think we get beat, but for the first time in years, I'm hopeful for the future.

that dude could not beat LSU. His record against LSU at aTm & MSU is unbelievably bad, especially considering he lost 3 games to Curley Hallman. We did amazingly well against LSU from around the mid 70s to 1991.

what's more depressing?... beating vandy on the road by 12 or winning in Death Valley by only 14. If you're using your score against Vandy as a reference i definitely think the bulldogs have the upperhand. Jesus, Vandy scored an F'n TD on the tigers in the 2nd qtr when the game mattered. The LSU/vandy game wasn't decided until the last 6 mins. of the game.

HOWEVER....If your just saying hey "LSU Fuc$in owns us and they always hand our dicks to us in starkville (or anywhere else for that matter)"....well then you had me @ "ONE Touchdown"

i say we have a chance. we will probably end up losing, but we will be in it to the 4'th quarter. LSU should win something like 24-13, 27-14, somewhere in there. I think it's a game that a kickoff return for a TD, or a pick-6 can swing in our favor. We just need a few big plays. The teams we won't have a chance against are Houston, Arkansas, Ole Miss...i.e. passing teams. LSU will try to cram it down our throat and we will be trying the same thing. the clock should move fast lending itself to a lower scoring defensive type game.

You guys are delusional if you really think Uof H and Arkansas are sure wins against State yet LSU is a possibility. The defense alone will be a huge difference maker against State, of which, UofH and Arky has none. Verdict is still out on Ole Miss. You have a much better shot against a UofH or an Arkansas than you do against an athletic and big hitting defense with a lot of playmakers on it. Maybe I am missing the boat. I am more concerned with LSU's offense giving up stupid plays or not being able to run the ball, but my concern is minimal.

.....that MSU has a shot at going somewhere, right before they get bashed in and reality comes back to hit you in the face? Good for you. I would have figured that such fantasyland nonsense had passed by most logical MSU fans by now.

Being 2-1 going into a home game against LSU doesn't mean **** when your two wins came at the expense of JSU and a Vandy team that reverted back to its old self. That's not to mention that many good MSU teams couldn't beat LSU. MSU is no better a team right now than they were last year under Croom. A couple of areas improved and a couple reverted. It all adds up the same though, a team that can't compete in the SEC.

Now, immediately following the Auburn game, I got upset and frustrated at the offensive playcalling somewhat. However, after considering the situation I've realized a few things. For one, we obviously lack talent. Our two QBs are just not that good. Our WRs are inconsistent. Our interior OL isn't very good at all. On top of all of that, consider this: some commentators yesterday were discussing Michigan's improvement running their offense. Last year they looked terrible running that offense. They were a traditional offense team, thus going to the spread option was a huge step. Well guess what, MSU was a traditional offense team. There have been times where, when running our base plays, things are set up perfectly but we just don't run the play as well as we should. Why? I think the easiest and most likely explanation is we just aren't used to running this stuff against other teams yet. We've played 3 games with this offense. So far we look far and away better than the Croom Coast Offense, and we are doing it without a QB. Folks, as we improve at running our base plays on offense I think Mullen is going to open things up. I certainly hope Mullen goes all out recruiting Newton, he could be a huge difference maker.

so that's like the pot calling the kettle black. I thought his post made absolute sense. He's a disgrunted State fan that made very good points. You haven't beaten anyone good yet. If State beats LSU, and he continues to talk like that then your follow up post would make more sense.
