In true M-State style, this week has been freaking awesome and the future of our football program looks better than it has in a decade.............something has to go wrong. Will Russell transfer? Will Mullen leave? Will Mullen get caught with a hooker? Will Ole Miss turn us in for buying a Diet Coke for a recruit? Damn....I have followed State for too long.
Anyone waiting for something bad to happen now?

Infractions would be the least of my concern. My main concern would be why in the world are we recruiting someone who drinks Diet Coke?
A lot of this is going to start with the whole cowbell assault deal, I believe. That is an inch, and UM will take that **** to the Supreme Court if they can.</p>
I'm with you. Something will hit the fan before long.</p>

will be enough to get a few of their boosters to dig a little deeper this recruiting season. It will take two or three good MSU seasons for them to start an all out campaign though.
if you're looking for negatives. I look at their regression as the something that is hitting the fan. If you would've said 6 months ago that we'd have 2 losses at this point and neither of them were to Missouri, most would've thought you crazy.
its pretty easy to see that most are just avoiding the topic of basketball altogether at this point.
Would that be **** hitting the fan? Maybe I'm a glass half full kind of guy, but if Mullen were to get caught with a hooker and MSU wasn't stupid enough to fire him, we'd have an almost certainly good, potentially great coach with a black mark that would make it hard for the 10 or 15 programs that could reasonably expect to take him from State to pull the trigger. Might cause some problems with recruiting, but overall Mullen getting caught with a hooker is way down the list on the things I'm actually afraid of, such as (1) Mullen's wife pulling a Mrs. Ellis Johnson, (2) an LSU fan drugging Les Miles, taking pictures of him naked with a hooker, and LSU firing him and then coming after Mullen, (3) our strength coach or OL coach leaving (4) McPhee receiving a bj from Chris Lowe and then immediately declaring for the draft, (5) Tyson Lee being granted a medical redshirt for dwarfism, (6) Tyler Russel being a slow version of Wayne Madkin, (7) waking up and realizing Croom is still the coach, LT is still the AD, and this has all been a stress induced psychotic break with reality.Hanmudog said:
Nothing is going to go wrong. We are going to continue to build up into powerhouses in the big 3 sports. Just when we are about to peak and play in our first national championship in football the monster blue ball will occur and the world will end.
... if the bad luck bug is going to hit, it will be knee injuries to players we are depending on for 2010.</p>

I'm sure there are several Ole Miss lawyers out there that would like to make a bigger deal out of the "cowbell assault" issue than it really is. But, I'm not so sure they are the party that should be trying to outlaw "dangerous" tradition. Remember, these are the Ole Miss Rebels. What goes around, comes around.
Do you think those same lawyers would be willing to take on a case to force the University of Mississippi to give up the name "Ole Miss" and "Rebels"? After all, I'm sure there are at least a couple of folks out there that have encountered enough emotional pain and suffering (whatever the legal term is) brought upon by the names and symbols representative of an offensive past. The University embraces these name regardless of how offensive it may be to others. Would those same lawyers take up for those hurt by the offensive symbols of the University? Or, is the physical pain from the gash caused by a cowbell far greater and more important than those hurt by the inconsideration of our neighboring institution?
If MSU could be held liable for an individual's assault on another with an object not designed to be a weapon, then certainly the University of Mississippi can be held liable for the emotional pain and suffering caused by their careless flaunting of potentially offensive confederate and old south names and symbols. No?

I only read the first couple of posts, but why even think that? I truly feel a lot more good things are going to happen soon than bad things. I doubt Russell will want to sit another year, I think he stills plays some even if Cam comes. Basketball better get on a winning streak b/c I'm for the first time in a long while already looking forward to next football season already. More good things too come. Be optimistic.
