Takeaways from 2023 athletic department budgets: Who does the most with the least in the SEC?
Who cares?
If you listen to the SDS podcast, it's obvious they've determined State isn't worth covering this year. I don't know if Conor O'Gara is butthurt over getting the Arnett prediction so wrong that he decided they would barely cover the Bulldogs this season.
Mississippi State will probably use the TE position more than it has since Mullen. I expect to see Cam Ball (6'-6", 245) to get a lot of redzone targets and Sedyou Traore (6'-4", 220) to be used a flex TE for match-up targets.
Nothing on the commitment of Booth out of Utah State. Not surprising.
What do you expect? SDS hasn't done a football-related story on Mississippi State in two months. It's not surprising that they can't even be bothered to get players' names right.
Yesterday O'Gara was saying how Shapen had beaten out Mike Wright for the starting job, which is technically true. He didn't even realize Wright was the 4th string QB and Chris Parson was the other State QB who started in the Spring game (for the 2nd team offense). Just say you didn't watch the game and saw a few highlights on Twitter instead of pretending like you know what's going on in Starkville.
LOL. Mike Wright was the 4th string QB for Mississippi State and then hit the portal. It's pretty obvious you didn't watch the Spring game, if you don't even know who the 2nd and 3rd string QBs are.
The amount of Mississippi State erasure that goes on at this site is something else.
Three weeks of no State stories - during Spring ball and portal season! You did it, SDS! After the spring game, there will be no reason to write about Mississippi State football until August and you can put together a story-less massive streak. Keep up the non-work, guys!
With the spring game coming this weekend, will SDS make it three weeks without a Mississippi State story?
Woohoo! Let's start another streak of no stories on the Mississippi State feed! SDS almost made it 4 weeks without a story before this one.
Before this story it had been almost 4 weeks since SDS had posted a Mississippi State story. There are other outlets that cover State much better than SDS does, and that's where you'll find Bulldog fans. Not SDS who treats State like a nuisance.
24 days. Keep it up, guys!
"Last year’s home slate was one of the most deflating I’ve ever seen for an SEC team."
*Laughs in Chad Morris*
Three weeks. Let's see if you can go four weeks!
SDS hasn't published a Mississippi State article in almost three weeks now.
Leach's Air Raid is not similar to the Baylor offense Lebby runs.
Collective bargaining will eventually happen. The courts have already said the way the NCAA has been operating for the past 100 years is illegal.
College sports are the only team sports where the championship tournament (or playoff) participants are selected by a committee instead of where they finish in the standings.
"There will eventually be a set rotation that allows all teams to play everyone in the conference over a 4-year period, with home and away games against each opponent."
Wow, Matt. Sankey has only been talking about that for the past three years.
Bless your heart.
"Will Rogers best fit: Auburn"
LOL. Matt Hayes has apparently NEVER SEEN Will Rogers run the ball, which is exactly what Freeze wants his QBs have at least a marginal ability to do. Will Rogers makes Peyton Thorne look like Nick Fitzgerald.
State had four 4-star commitments plus Blake Shapen this weekend, but let's focus on decommitments.
I'm glad he gets another chance to rise up the NCAA career passing list. Arnett and Barbay really did him a disservice.
Please reboot your AI writer.
I know Freeze tried to get Will Rogers to transfer this year, but based on what I've seen of the Tigers, that would be a really bad fit. Thorne is A LOT more athletic than Rogers and Freeze still insisted in bringing in Ashford - although he seemed to trust Thorne a little more with running the ball as the season went on. Rogers needs to be in a shot-gun offense with a decent o-line to keep him upright. No RPO, no pistol, no under center.
Will is not going to play another game at Mississippi State.
I love Will Rogers, but it's time to part ways. Good luck to him in the transfer portal.
What's embarrassing is the amount of attention the Mississippi State opening has drawn from Ole Miss coaches and fans. If my team just had the greatest season in school history, I would be worrying about other things. But that's just me, a non-entitled State fan.
It's hilarious to mean that Ole Miss fans think they know what State's NIL situation is.
Chadwell was targeted but said no. State was willing to open the checkbook up for sitting head coaches, but Chadwell's buyout is ridiculous for a G5 coach.
