Eh, go get yourself some.
- You’d be surprised how far those athletic gear deals are supposed to go.
- Here’s Paul Myerberg’s preview of #41 Mississippi State. Right now, MSU is the conference team I’m having the hardest time trying to get a handle on.
- Jay Rome, “a tad bit rusty”.
- LSU announces a tiered pricing system for single game tickets.
- It might help if they kept the bathrooms cleaner, though.
- Seth Emerson discovers a new quarterback on the second day of practice.
- “The success, or lack of success, of conference networks, depending how you look at things, may lead to future expansion…” Sigh.
- From reader Shewdawg comes your daily dose of Stingtalk. Sounds like they’re braced for a fun year.
Heck, I felt bad for wandering the thread, but they never got on it at Sting Talk.

Nice update on the new players and the walk on QB.

He had the fastest 40 of the QBs. Good athlete.

If Prescott stays healthy, I believe Mississippi State has a dark horse shot at the west. If they can go 2-1 in the lsu, am and auburn games, 10-2 is highly possible. If au, bama and lsu beat each other up, miss st could back into atlanta.
Mullen can completely control the game with a healthy Prescott by getting into 3rd and 3 situations and milking the clock. He is tactically intelligent enough to pull that off. The huge question is the health of Prescott over the full season.

I certainly think MSU is better than 41st in the country, and will prove that on the field. However, it might not show in the rankings, though they could easily end up ranked.
It’s the dilemma of life in the SEC that it’s bottom 2/3 teams generally end up underrated.

It is OK that Miss State get the SEC version of the Rodney Dangerfield Award, they have certainly been overrated many times. Like FU, they load the box with weak OOC play and blaze out to a fast start before collapsing back to mediocrity in the latter part of the season.
I am not saying they aren’t capable of pulling an upset in the West this year but I just don’t see them making a run at the West title. I know they are the popular pick as a dark horse (because of a returning QB), and they do usually play The Barn tight for some reason but they just don’t have the quality depth to make a run. If they do, I will be the most surprised here. Not saying the ranking of 41st is right, but I see them closer to 40 than 20….although their schedule will cause some voters to over rank them again. West does have the potential to cannibalize itself this year, and the winner will likely come from a tiebreaker so MSU will probably play a role in that.

If you can hear the pass leaving the QBs hand, it’s moving downrange on a mission. That’s a good sign, and one that recruiters of QBs are invariably drawn to. Gimme five passes, and if I can see it leave his hand, and hear it, then I’m interested. Go get ’em, Brice!

I’m pulling for him, and have been since we signed him. Sometimes I’m not sure why. Just something about him.

Agree, I liked the limited film I saw on him in HS when he signed and I have always liked his comments and confidence about UGA. Was surprised at the lack of positive comments on him in the spring so it is good to see he has been working.

And I have to admit that arm is intoxicating. Now if he can get the accuracy.
