I know every single fan base has plenty of delusional folks, but I don't know any MS State fans predicting 8-10 wins. Hopefully we at least improve from the 5 wins last year, but who knows.

I appreciate this comment. Sometimes I get fed up reading the comment section on this site. There are too many idiotic comments and back-and-forth childish arguing from all sides.

The unforeseeen circumstances here obviously being just how bad Mississippi State football was going to suck it up this year. There's always next year? Or the next? Can y'all just quit writing articles about MSU for at least a few months?

I have a sad feeling that Kentucky has nothing to worry about this weekend.

It's going to be a great week for Mississippi State!

I don't imagine the school was too distraught over paying the fine, especially this infrequently. This is the stance they have to take. Congrats on the win.

MSU shouldn't be ranked. The phrase is couldn't care less. He said he could care less, which means he currently cares at least some.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think 20 may be bit generous.

I think the Leach/Kiffin duo made the rivalry a whole lot less hateful. Mullen really brought it out of both sides.

Well what did you expect, him to say that he'll try to keep it under 100?

So you're telling me there's a chance? Yeah!!

Well, I mean it isn't WIDE open....

Ugh. It's going to be a long season.

You're right about Mississippi State. I hope we see Rogers throwing more than he did against Arizona.

The announcers during the game kept saying Arizona State also.

I agree with this.

Well that's an interesting fact that led me down a rabbit hole on the internet. Seems like there was more to it than that. It was entertaining to read about.

My point was that it's very lopsided. Alabama may have a hate week, but until MSU poses a serious consistent threat I don't think they will consider us a rivalry. Wikipedia says the series is 87-17-3, and the current streak is Alabama since 2008. I haven't been called young in many years, but I was attending MSU in 2007 when MSU last beat Alabama on the road. Hail state

Interesting article. But I don't know any MSU fan that has considered Alabama a "rivalry" game in my lifetime. They're an SEC opponent, sure.

Hailz reminds me of that fable about arguing with donkeys. You can google the whole thing, but skipping to the punchline of it: "The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense. There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not. When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more."

Nice comments from Kiffin. He and Leach made the rivalry a lot more enjoyable and not nasty like it was when Mullen was around.

Well, I'm surprised. I guess an extra 4 million or so will change a guy's mind.

Agree. I'll be real surprised if he doesn't stay at JSU.

Eh. I hope he stays at Ole Miss. And if it weren't for a just a few Ole Miss folks I know who are incessantly aggravating to me, I'd have no problems wishing Ole Miss won their first 11 games every year.

Here's another State fan rooting for Ole Miss. Admittedly, I am somewhat reluctant, but it'd be nice if MS could dominate something.

Eh, I don't see what the big deal is. Congrats to Ole Miss on the 10 win season. Hail State anyway.

I agree. It's one of the things I've been enjoying about having Leach and Kiffin, the rivalry doesn't seem quite as nasty anymore. It's best for the state of MS if both teams are doing great.

Best comment yet. Hail state anyway!

For all the folks complaining Vandy shouldn't be there - what's the alternative? Wait 2 weeks for the 'Rona quarantine and then Vandy plays NC State? Nah. From what I understand these COVID rules were in place for all the schools at the beginning. Sure it worked out in Vandy's favor, but it could have been any school, and it certainly isn't anything to hold against them. Hail State!

At least throw in a random period every now and then just so we can try to make sense of it.
