Smh good grief what a douche. A potential 5 Star? Hahahaha he’s in denial about his own recruiting ability. You were a better, more consistent punter than Devon Bell during your time here. I’ll argue anyone who says otherwise whether you were on here or not. I know y’all are friends and don’t want to get into the you vs him talk but that had to be said. Thanks for confirming he was the giant douche I thought he was.
Hud is a great guy. Loved his passion. Was excited when I saw that he was coming back.
Loved Manny.
Coach Hughes was a solid solid dude as well.
What a prick. It was a pretty popular speculation amongst fans that Mullen had checked out long before he left. There's no telling where we could've gone had Mullen put his ego aside and actually tried (for instance, at the end of the '14 season). I just wonder if he was burned out or if he thought he was just "too good" for Starkville.
I didn't really hear anything on it. Most of what I learned was from this board lol.
Megan always seemed genuine to me. Always super nice and went out of her way to make all the players feel at home.
They recruited me the hardest 98% of the way through. I grew up a State fan and it was hard. For a while I thought I'd end up there. State didn't come on until late in the summer going into my senior year of high school.
Orgeron was an absolute character. They were all fantastic recruiters. In fact, I had a few conversations with Freeze early on because at that time he was their main recruiting guy for football. I can't remember if he was an actual coach or not yet. Ironic really.
What kind of work do you do now and does your employer know you've spent the bulk of today on SPS?
I'm a business analyst at a financial institution. I took the afternoon off because I had to meet some contractors at our house to have some work done. So no worries.
Hmm tough one. I think Texas A&M wins it though. All of their fans are nice and very into the game.
Although when it was almost game time at LSU and they played "Callin Baton Rouge" by Garth Brooks, I asked myself "What have I gotten myself into".
How many guys from the teams you were on do you still keep in touch with and who if you're comfortable sharing that? Grad assistants? Do you still talk to some of the coaches occasionally?
Can you confirm or deny that you did any of these things (that I made up) during the Troy game in '13 when you literally didn't have to punt once?
I see my snapper all the time. He's my brother in law. Yes I married his sister.
I keep up with Bell and Sobiesk pretty regularly as well. I'll occasionally text Feld since he's the strength coach at Oregon now. DePasquale and I text every now and then too. The only coaches I keep up with are some of the strength coaches. Those guys are awesome.
I lost in the finals at the national chess convention that day.
It was awkward interviewing for a job with my jersey on but they totally understood my situation.
Blue you're my boy.
Got choked up watching Marley and Me. I must admit.
I did take down Eminem in my underground rap battle.
I was somewhere in the middle because I grew up going to State games and understood the rivalry. I think in-state makes difference. I'd say overall though we didn't get into as much as fans did. Now that I'm a fan again, it's a bigger deal to me.
Yep. Quite a bit. Luckily there weren't too many negative things said about me on here lol.
