I miss being terrible

So you watch a game that’s a 7 point spread and don’t believe that we can win?

I'll do you one better.

2019. The football SP+ rankings loved us for some strange reason. We played LSU at home. We were a 7 point underdog. When I saw that, I knew it would be the easiest money I ever made in my life.

Took a grand to Tunica and put it on LSU to cover. Later in the week, went to the State game. Rooted hard. But in the end, I knew I would end up right. Went back to Tunica the next week and cashed in.

MSU has my heart. But because I have a functioning brain and the ability to assess our strengths and weaknesses, and match them up with our opponent at the time, It's totally reasonable for me to expect us to get drilled in a game with a 7 point spread. In fact, if you base our likelihood to win/lose/be competitive on the point spread for a game, you're a complete 17n idiot.

Man can we please stop saying “GeNesPaGe!!” Anytime someone says something you disagree with. That is so lame. Come up with something better

I mean no, when we have a bad team and we are 20 point underdogs against a good team I’m not expecting we will win. But if have a decent team and the spread is 7 points, you should not be a poor old loser and think about how we’re going to lose the game. Why would you live your life like that?

And having bad losses like Maine or South Alabama isn’t something that only happens to Mississippi State. Every team at some point has bad seasons and bad losses. Why do you let bad losses define you as a fan? So bizarre we have fans who want to spend their lives feeling sorry for themselves and only expecting the worst for Mississippi State.

Well, to be fair, you're being a little genespagey. And by little, I mean "full on humuckle"

What does Mississippi State football in the 1970s and 1980s have to do with this years team in 2025? I’d love to hear your sad explanation for this

Some of our shades of maroon are still the same.**
