College Football - Week 14 (Nov. 30)

Jhonny's are unquestionably awesome, so sorry mizzou guys.

Oh well. Weird that a DL(of all positions) would commit in September, see the season this team had, then decommit in November, but it happens. The current DL rotation is all 2 and 3 stars besides Ealy and is still terrorizing the SEC, so it's hard to get too worked up about a Michigan DE deciding not to join the fun. He sounds like a real good get though, is ND planning on him being an OLB? He seemed a touch small for a 3-4 DE.

Yeah, it sounds like he's going to be an OLB.

Here is what im thinking for this week. USC over Clemson; USC over UCLA; Bama destruction of Auburn, ND upset Stan and still hoping against hope that UF can put it together and beat FSU. Also praying for a Johnny Football holiday victory.

ND offered him just 2 weeks ago. A day before UM offered. And yes, sounds like a Cat linebacker for ND (Shembo's spot; most of the time with his hand down).

You're gonna make abuck mad.

Oh look, the Ann Bowl is on.

[SpongeWorthy]

Them?

[Guest]

Them?

 

Heh. Mississippi State is such an Ann hog.

[Tracer Bullet]

nice of mississippi to let another sec team get bowl eligible.

[Ryne Ween]

Not nice of you to pick on Miss St. They played probably the toughest schedule in the FBS. They didnt beat anybody good until last night, but they played some good games against good teams. Pretty bowl deserving for 6-6/

[OleMissCub]

If Mississippi had ONE big school like Louisiana or Georgia, they'd be perennial contenders. The fact that any Mississippi school, given the small population, is ever even somewhat relevant and ranked is a miracle. No reason for a state of 2.5 million to have two SEC schools. Aside from the spreading of talent between MS State and Ole Miss, we lose a lot of great players to our greedy neighbors LSU and Alabama.

 

That game last night was embarrassing. To only score 3 offensive points is staggeringly awful for a team that averages 30.4 a game. Although I guess that's what can happen when your QB has 5 turnovers. Fine time to have the worst game of his career.

 

Bring on the Liberty Bowl...

Not much worse than Nebraska, and certainly better than Kansas State. The Oklahomas have maybe a million more people, but they also have Texas as a neighboring state. Oregon has 2 schools and is in a terrible football state. You've been pushing this excuse for years. It's bunk. You must be shocked that Syracuse's football has sucked forever

according to sagarin, MS State's SOS is 9th and Ole Miss' is 14th.

 

Playing in the SEC West is just unfair sometimes.

[OleMissCub]

Yeah but half or even more than half the players on OU and OK State come from Texas, arguably the best football state, and with 26 million people.

Do buses not run from Mississippi to Texas?

It's worse for the two KS schools. Smaller state, worse hs football, and the occasional big time recruits rarely stay in state when they do pop up.

Define big. It's not like Mississippi State is any bigger than Georgia Tech or Ole Miss is any bigger than Georgia. And it ain't like your rosters are only local boys either. Plenty of smallish states have 2 or more BCS schools.

[CubInOK]

Nebraska has a player named Vincent Valentine and I'm just now learning this????

[OleMissCub]

Define big. It's not like Mississippi State is any bigger than Georgia Tech or Ole Miss is any bigger than Georgia.

 

UGA has 34,000 students. Ole Miss has 19,000. That's nearly twice as large.

 

Georgia has nearly 10 million people in it, so it's 4 times bigger than MS. That state can afford to have its recruits and resources spread around a lot easier than MS or Kansas, as someone else mentioned.

 

Plenty of smallish states have 2 or more BCS schools.

 

Obviously. I wasn't saying MS is the only state in a similar shitty sitaution. I was talking specifically about Mississippi.

This isn't high school you weirdo. Size of school isn't the question. The point was your attempt to pretend Mississippi was in some unique situation as a small state with 2 "big" schools.

you are the weirdo here, I was specifically talking about Mississippi being in a conference surrounded by consistent powerhouses, many of whom, like LSU, are really the only thing going in their state and therefore virtually get their pick of the top talent in that state and get an enormous amount of the resources.

 

I was simply bemoaning the fact that the two Mississippi schools will never be consistently good teams because they split the State's talent and resources in addition to playing in the most difficult conference.

 

If you want to talk about Kansas or Oregon or Oklahoma, then go ahead. It sucks for them too. If you can point out where I said anything about Mississippi's situation being unique to Mississippi, then please do.

 

I also don't recall calling Ole Miss or State "big" schools.
