This team is special.

[ChinaDogSunflower]

From a rant on another post. It deserves being shared.

I don't think we'll have to wait til next year to challenge for Atlanta. We've already knocked down one pillar and UGA is pretty one dimensional, especially with a tFR QB.

I'm not impressed with Auburn either, and if that supposed news drops before our game it will be a distraction for the university and teams that play.

BYU shouldn't be too tough.

UK could be a challenge but we lost last year by a FG as time expired, WITH PETER SIRMON AS OUR DC. I think we handle UK.

TXA&M is a dumpster fire and Sumlin's seat is getting warm, hate mail or not. We will win.

UMASS? Ha.

Bama seems to be the only real challenge and we get them at home. I think that game might decide the SECW once again.

ARK won't be easy but I like our chances against the run.

UM is worse off than A&M, they're team probably will have completely quit by then. All the black bear hate and vitriol will not be enough to fire up the team.

The LSU win puts us in a really nice spot. We don’t have to win BOTH of the next two games, we only need a split.

That said, winning both puts us in the driver’s seat for a NY6 game even if we don’t beat Bama. Orange or Peach since the Sugar Bowl is a playoff game again this year.

If we win this weekend, 10-2 is the floor. 11-1 is most likely. 12-0 is not a pipe dream.

Let's not get too wooly yet.

 

[kendesu]

Is there supposed to be news out of Auburn other than Sean White being dismissed and Byron Cowart transferring?

 

[BossDawg78]

Let's not get too wooly yet.

For real. There is still A LOT of room to screw everything up.

 

[Mechanicaldawg]

Yeah, I'm starting to get a little worried about injuns, but I'm pretty excited.

 

[Digging dog]

Been a State fan long?******

Agree there is something special here.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

What's crazy is that we have been hyping up the 2018 season for so long because of how many players we have returning. And here we are....

Pump the brakes a few times young 'uns. We've beaten a school that a lot of MS Community Colleges could, a mediocre Tech team and an "O" coached team. You've gone from looking forward to 2018, cussing the OL and Hev, wondering about receivers and dreading another year of missed field goals and extra points to reserving rooms in Atlanta the first weekend in December. Patience grasshoppers, this free advice from someone that has watched Bulldog teams for the last 50 years. I'm more optimistic than I was this time last week but the first half of LA Tech still gives me a headache.

Where there are dead Indians, there is a way

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Peter sirmon was our sacrifice to the injuns. We are in the clear for a few years now.

 

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, might be a tad optimistic. But one never knows.

 

[engie]

the first half of LA Tech still gives me a headache.

Weren't we up a couple dozen at the half?

 

[missouridawg]

Yeah, might be a tad optimistic. But one never knows.

I certainly qualified that with an IF WE WIN.... and if we so, we will be favored in every game but 2. We will be a 2-3 point dog to both Auburn and Bama. We will be a double digit favorite against everyone else, except for maybe Arkansas.

 

[PineGroveBully]

The aTm game still concerns me, esp if they're playing for Sumlins job. And esp after coming to Starkville and getting their arse handed to them. Of all the should win games left on the schedule, that one I could see a classic "we are emm-state" slip up happening.

 

[Bulldogg31]

I think their QB situation is going to keep them from salvaging this season. That guy is no bueno.

Their defense is average and Hoobastank/Mond both are not good QBs. Mond has potential, but it ain't this year. We will roll them.

 

[Lou3000]

This weekend is big, but I started telling people after the Tech game that things were different. 2014 different.

I've been a State fan long enough to know, you usually beat the cupcakes. But it has been the "manner" of the wins.

2017.

CSU. 49-0, 555 yards offensive, 33 yards defense.

Anyone remember the score of the first game of the year in 2014?

Yeah. USM: 49-0.

Total yards...550.

Bit creepy right?

Second game, struggled in the first half, but showed we could regroup and cruise to a big win. Then we dominate LSU.
