Chris Garrett signs a death wish.

[MasterDawg]

He said on the WTVA news at six that,

"They (Tupelo) expect to win state. South Panola can do what they want to, but we're not too worried about them. In the past we have gone in that game hoping to win, but now we are expecting to beat them. They're not going to get in our way."

LSU may get their quarterback, but he may be doing rehab. The last thing I would want to do is talk smack at the South Panola boys and have them pissed off when it comes time to play them. The boy is cocky, but a dumbass to give out bulletin board material, especially to South Panola of all people.

[dawgatUSM]

while i think it's possible SP gets beat this year... i doubt it's to tupelo... especially after this.

 

[TR.sixpack]

For someone who hasn't done crap in his career, he talks big.

 

[DirtyLopez]

Supposedly he started getting attention too early (which we know he did from Croom just before his 10th grade season) and has overbought it. Somebody needs to tell this cat that it is arguable that he is even the best QB in MS. And MS is no QB factory. If he were in texas or california, he would probably be well down the list. </p>

 

[patdog]

Somebody needs to tell this cat that it is arguable that he is even the best QB in MS. </p>

Just my opinion, but I really don't think it's even arguable. He's not the best QB in Mississippi. </p>

[Todd4State]

Call me crazy, but I do think that Tupelo has a shot at South Panola. Emphasis on the word "shot". They do have Bumphis and Bean and Garrett, who while he may not be the best in the state is probably no worse than third, and they're all seniors. Plus the game is in Tupelo.

I will say that this bulletin board material doesn't help their cause.

I do think that the team from Florida has a great chance to end their winning streak, but I wouldn't be surprised if their Mississippi winning streak stays intact.

 

[olemissbydamn]

Nobody should be surprised if SP gets beat this year. It's hard to "get up" for every game for over 5 years straight. Especially when every team you play has circled this game for 5 years straight. All it takes is one off night. It almost happened last year against Columbus until Tig took over.

I doubt it's Tupelo, but I think SP loses this year also. And some idiot team will be crowing like they won the Super Bowl. As Willis Wright has said, if someone doesn't beat them this year, it might be a few more years before they lose. They have some great young players coming up. Two things make them ripe for the picking this year: the loss of Willis Wright, and the graduation of most of their offensive line.

I don't know what Garrett is thinking, but thus far he has looked like a junior high QB in his games against SP. I don't know who Tupelo will have at RB this year, but if they can't run the ball, Bean, Bumphis, & Garrett won't matter. Nick Parker, SP's runningback, will pick up the slack at RB for SP. He is going to be another in a long line of great runningbacks.</p>

 

[hullabaloodog]

In the past we have gone in that game hoping to win, but now we are expecting to beat them.

I can't figure out how it's possible to feel this way when Garrett has never beaten SP, along with the rest of the state the past 5 years. I know he's trying to be a team leader and set a mindset for his team, but there is no way in hell he truly feels that way. SP is beatable, but you don't give them bulletin board material...ever.

 

[bonedaddy401]

to be eating a lot of crow sometime this fall. I'm glad this guy is going to LSU. You can't expect to do anything unless you have done it. This might as well be a case study for what can happen to a high school kid that gets told he is more than what he is his whole career.

 

[Temple of the Dawg]

seems to be an egotistical little **** in many ways and that maybe all you mean by this quote

You can't expect to do anything unless you have done it.

I have to disagree with this on so many levels. The Wright brothers expected to fly. Kennedy expected us to put a man on the moon. Churchill expected to withstand Nazi Germany long enough to entice the U.S. to enter the war and ultimately defeat Hitler. I certainly don't have any warm feelings about Garrett, but that kind of attitude is what I would want from my team leader. He is/was a dubmass for spewing his mouth to the paper, but, if I were his coach, I would be thrilled to hear him saying he expected his team to beat SP each & every day in practice. Leaders expect to accomplish great things even if those things seem ludicrous and impossible to those around them. Whether Garrett is truly displaying leadership or just being an arrogant dubmass is certainly open for debate.

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

However, I would not go this far:

I'm glad this guy is going to LSU

I mean, hell, by that same measure, you wouldn't have wanted Fred Smoot to come to MSU. Or Will Clark. Now, they both could back up that mouth they sported around. And Maybe Garrett can and maybe he can't. But, I for one am tired of us never having a premier quarterback. The more top QB recruits we sign, the more chances that I get my wish. One day.

As for South Panola -- I doubt it will be Tupelo, but I think someone beats them this year. And word has it that their head coach thinks the same thing -- about getting beat, not necessarily about Tupelo.

 

[STATEgrad04]

I couldnt help but picture Belushi in Animal House from your post. But in all I do agree with what you posted. If you dont expect to win you never will.

 

[RebelRichman.nafoom]

They return a lot of talent from a 9 win team. Also, you guys are looking for reasons to hate Garrett now. If he was still committed to state he would be the best in the state and you would love his confidence.

 

[Temple of the Dawg]

during the time right after Garrett committed.

If he was still committed to state he would be the best in the state

The board was split pretty evenly between Garrett supporters and those who, while happy we had a commitment from him, thought Russell was easily the best QB in the state and that Moore was probably second with Garrett third.

 

[VegasDawg13]

They return a lot of talent from a 9 win team. Also, you guys are looking for reasons to hate Garrett now. If he was still committed to state he would be the best in the state and you would love his confidence.

The last part of that sentence is almost definitely true, but there were a lot of people on this board that maintained throughout the whole process that they thought Russell is better than Garrett. Actually, of people that said they had seen both of them play, nearly all of them said that Russell looked better.</p>

I heard that Bumphis was going to be moved to RB this year.

[BriantheDawg]

You can't expect to do anything unless you have done it.

He expects the CWS every year now that they are the best baseball school ever.

 

[rebel law]

Have we not already been over this 10 times? So Croom can say his team's expectations are a BCS bowl and that is ok but God forbid Bianco say our expectations are to go to Omaha? I'm not having this discussion again. You really are one stupid son of a *****.

</p>If you are comparing these historical events to Garrett beating South Panola I have to question your sanity.

He hopes to beat them and thinks they will beat them. My statement about you can't expect anything unless you have done it is not so much in the sense that he feels they can do it, it is that he takes for granted the fact that it will happen. They haven't been beaten in 5 years, when being honest with ones self you can only hope an try to beat them. Next year they can expect to beat them if they beat them this year.

Fred Smoot has made a career in the NFL and Will Clark is a legend to some people. Garrett has made it to the High School playoffs. He doesn't have any right (besides the first amendment) to call out possibly the most dominate high school football program in Mississippi history.

[RebelRichman.nafoom]

have I seen a group of "men" make such a big deal out of a high school football player saying that his team was going to win state. This is insane.

 

[Todd4State]

Tupelo beating South Panola would be historic. Not nearly on the same scale as the others, but historic nonetheless.

 

[dawgstudent]

is that much more sane. We are all insane.

 

[seawaterland]

Mark it down.

Fellows they are for real. You will have to score alot to beat the WildCats. The 7 on 7 team has won every Tournament they played in this year. Including the University of ALA.

I will bet Coach Weems is going to have Hamp Glover and Chris Smith play some defense this year. That's bad for the other team. Hamp will knock some heads off at Saftey.

I'm hearing that Meridian,Louisville, and South Panola will play a preseason tournament at Louisville before the season.
Should be interesting.

 

[Temple of the Dawg]

If you are comparing these historical events to Garrett beating South Panola I have to question your sanity

I was using those particular historical examples to illustrate people that expected to overcome even larger & more insurmountable odds & obstacles than beating a high school football team.

He hopes to beat them and thinks they will beat them. My statement about you can't expect anything unless you have done it is not so much in the sense that he feels they can do it, it is that he takes for granted the fact that it will happen. They haven't been beaten in 5 years, when being honest with ones self you can only hope an try to beat them. Next year they can expect to beat them if they beat them this year.

What you still seem to fail to understand is that there are people out there that honestly EXPECT to overcome the obstacles in front of them regardless of how massive & insurmountable those obstacles appear. So yes, despite SP record over the last 5 years, Garrett can honestly EXPECT to beat them. I can't honestly read his mind to know whether he believes it or not, but such people do exist and he may be one of them.

 

[BriantheDawg]

You, not Bianco The God of College Baseball, were the one spouting off at the mouth on this mb about expecting to make the CWS every year now.

As for Croom, a BCS bowl game is the goal. Just like the CWS is the goal for rebel baseball. I highly doubt ANYBODY on here will say they EXPECT to be playing in that BCS game come January. Big difference.

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

Perhaps it is just semantics.

However, each and every individual year, I will have the expectation that we should go to the CWS. Now, if someone were to ask me "Do you expect to go to the CWS every year for the next 10 years?", my answer would be No. But, at the beginning of every year, I think we as MSU fans should expect it to happen that year.

So, I guess the question is "What do people mean when they say they expect to do X every year?"

[rebel law]

Jesus H. Christ man, at one point do you let this **** go. Satterwhite said something to the effect of the expectations of the program was Omaha. You said that was crazy. All I ever said on it was that I didn't think it was crazy for a concensus preseason top 5 team coming off 3 straight super regionals to have expectations of Omaha. I would think most rational baseball fans would agree that those aren't crazy expectations given those cirucmstances. I never said I expected to go to Omaha but I don't have a problem with the team having expectations of Omaha. For some reason you feel the need to bring this up, what once a month. As I said earlier, you are one stupid son of a *****.

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

I don't see any reason at all an OM fan's expectations regarding baseball should be any less than that of a State fan's expectations. And the argument could be made that your expectations should exceed those of a state fan.

After all, your coach has been building a quality program for the past few years. Our ex coach sat around composing letters to the NCAA and watching our program deteriorate. And you do have a quality baseball coach. I can't stand that. But, you do.

Edit: With all that said, I think your coach's job just got a little harder the day we hired our new coach.

 

[War Machine Dawg]

We'll kick Tupelo's *** all over the field. Garrett will take an *** beating. He's immobile as hell and can't feel the blitz. He just thought he got hit last year. Now he wants to talk ****? This is going to be good. I agree the streak ends, but it ends to Apopka. I'm not overly scared of any in-state team. Be it Tupelo, Olive Branch, or Starkville.

 

[Todd4State]

I'm glad Ole Miss has a good baseball coach because we have WAY too many fans that are satisfied with "just beating Ole Miss." Ole Miss and Bianco have forced us to raise the bar, and I think we will officially do that in a couple of years in terms of recruiting and on the field performance.
