I had a conversation with one of those people tonight.
He started it by asking me, "Did I like Mullen?" I said "yes". He said "really?" Then he said "he heard from his source that his shine was starting to rub off". I just smile and shook my head like yeah right.
Then he asked, "Are you guys expanding your stadium?" As if he did not know. I said," yes and it should be ready by the time we play USM" He asked, "Are you playing them in 2014?" I said "yes". He then said, "playing them was a waste of time". I told him, "the only thing I hated about playing them is the fact in 2015 our game will be their only sell out." He then said, " that's what I hate about playing Memphis all those years. They would have gone under if we did not return to Memphis to play them there. We carried their program"
He asked me, "Didn't one of our endzone never had seats?" I asked him," has he ever been there?" He said, "yes years ago". Then I said, "well then you know". He then asked, "are you bowling in the end zone?" I said, " well where else will we exspand". He then said, "we are expanding as well and I think ours will be completly bowled in by 2014 or maybe 2015." I said, "really? That's pretty good. I don't worry about what Ole Miss is doing too much so I did not know that."
He then said, "I think State let Croom go too early and we did not give him enough time." I said, "kind of like Cutcliff?" He said, "Cutcliff was lazy and was not recruiting and had to be let go." I was speechless at that point.
He brought up this past egg bowl. I said, "yeah it's hard to beat a team four years in a roll and having to do it on the road." I joke not, He said, "State beat us during the worse three years in Ole Miss football". I said, Wasn't one of those years Ole Miss went to the cotton bowl?" He said, "yes but we went into that game cocky and not ready to play."
I am not going to tell you the rest of the conversation but I think you all can finish it with out me stating it. We have all been there and done this.
