1. 3 in a row mf'ers!!! 3 in a row. I love all the Bear fans that act like it doesnt matter. Michigan always wants to beat Michigan State. Virginia Tech always wants to beat Virginia. And on and on and on. Everybody else in the country cares- but Mississippi Bear fans dont? Really? They do care- and it is absolutely tearing them up inside. Dominate your rival- Mullen gets it- and I'm very glad the Bears dont.<div>
</div><div>2. Great defense again. I like what we have in Wilson. He's done a good job this season. And our LB coach hire has worked as well. Our LB's have become a strength this season. Skinner and Lawrence will be very good next season.</div><div>
</div><div>3. Goodbye to Fletcher Cox and Banks. Hate to see you guys leave early- but I do understand. Todd McShay has Fletcher listed as the 4th best DT for the draft- and combine work wont do anything but help his stock- looks like we will have consecutive 1st round picks in the NFL draft- a great selling point in recruiting. Banks will make a very good safety in the NFL- his ball skills are outstanding.</div><div>
</div><div><div>4. Bowling again is huge. I look forward to getting reports from the entire week of practice the back-ups and Freshmen get to see how they have improved since August. We need some guys on the OL to step up- and the Prescott to Morrow connection to hit a few times when they scrimmage.</div><div>
</div><div>5. Glad we had a big batch of jucos there watching. We get a few plug-ins on the OL- and in the Secondary, we will be tough again next year. Curious to see if Eulls moves inside to take Fletcher's spot. And then what will we have at DE. Mullen and staff need to lock up a few juco signatures and 2012 is going to be fun again.</div><div>
</div><div>6. Thank you Ralph. You are the Mississippi Bear kryptonite. You took a beating the last 2 seasons that would make Kevin Fant proud, and came thru at the end. It could have been better, but for a 2-star nobody that was a roster filler- I'll damn sure take it. Vick Ballard- thanks for your 2 years also. You played your *** off and ran hard- leaving here with your name in the record books. Congrats.</div></div><div>
</div><div><div>7. Yeah, its 6-6. Some of us thought before the season this team could be a great deal better. But the lack of depth on the OL showed us that it wasnt possible this season. I hate we lost the Auburn and SC games because they were right there for the taking- but losing OL guys and the constant shuffle affected that greatly. Having both QB's hurt this season didnt help either. But 5 of our 6 losses came to 10 win teams.We arent losing to ******** teams It sux- but a bowl is progress for our program. Thats how you build a program- string together bowl appearances- recruits like to see that you can sustain some success. And thats what we are starting to do.</div><div>
</div><div>8. Its that time of year aGAIN- Mullen's name is probably going to be thrown around for a job- Penn St is open, Arizona State is open, and a couple others will I'm sure. Other schools will try like hell to use it against us. But that is just part of being successful. We havent had a head coach stolen away in 50 years- if it happens, we will be ok. We now have the resources and momentum to make a great hire. Hopefully Mullen stays and continues to build- we know he loves it in Starkville. I'm sure we will have another interesting offseason regardless</div></div><div>
</div><div>In Mullen We Trust,</div><div>
