Seriously, not even making a joke.

1) 4 losses by an average of over 3 TD's per loss (the 2009 team had 7 losses but were much more competitive in them losing by a full TD less on average). Give the 2009 team this year's schedule and I'm sorry to tell you that they'd have gone 8-4 too. Probably would have done better - that was with TYSON :lanekiffin:

LEE at QUARTERBACK

We gave up more yards on the season than we gained. That's unheard of for a team that won twice as many games as it lost. We gave up 500 yards three times. We got our doors blown off by every team with a pulse. TROY PUT UP 572 YARDS.

We're 8-4 because of our schedule. But this was a really, really bad team. Don't let Dan Mullen sell you any more dreams. He sucks.

We Are M-State.

Merlin ignoring recruiting on the OLine killed us and will continue to kill us until we get elite talent on campus. Merlin can coach, he adds 2 stars to every recruit, but this all comes down to what I have been saying for years.

Merlin simply cannot recruit.

Well then. The cat's out of the bag I guess

No trash talk. He's serious. Any other year, this is a 5-7, 7-6 team. We will likely finish 9-4. That's ok. It's not horrible. It's just.....average. Like I've already said. I love Mullen for what he did here in giving the fans confidence that we haven't had since the 1990s, but I don't think we will ever be anything more than an 8-6, tops 9-4 team with him.

He's not the same anymore. He has none of the fire of 2009 and 2010.

2009 was worse, but this one may be more disappointing considering these are now all his players.

Y'all's 4 SEC wins were against teams that had a combined 3-29 record in SEC play this year.

Y'all were outscored by 21 in SEC play, combined.

1-4 against bowl eligible teams with the only win being Mid Tennessee.

Mullen can get y'all to a bowl game every year, but that's it.

I've kinda felt like that for a while now, but I am just now willing to say it out loud.

What? Its not basketball season so kill all the can't recruit and ignoring Olineman. So do you think all the Olineman he's brought in come world beaters? Other than QB and Cb it's the hardest position on the field. The young guys have to be coached. The line was young as a whole.

He has no signature wins (MAYBE that awful UF team), he just beats who he's supposed to beat.

Nah, he beat an Ole Miss team that won the Cotton Bowl back in 2009. Since then though, absolutely not

My bad, I incorrectly assumed Ole Miss was always ineligible for a bowl before this year.

ATTENTION ALL STATE FANS:

This is exactly what every single Ole Miss fan has said all season but we were labeled homers blinded by our hate of States success.

Suck it.
