It is just too hard to keep Mississippi talent instate. Alabama, Auburn, FSU, UF, Tennessee and LSU all cherry pick the state for all the playmakers. Only a few blue chips ever stay in state.
The facilities at the two Mississippi schools are also far below those at other SEC schools.
To turn either Mississippi program around, they will need a big name that is a big time recruiter and a big money raiser. Until then they will just continue the cycle of having a new coach every 4 t 5 years.
You know you're getting old when you're watching the BIG GAME with your 11 month old granddaughter, while your son and daugher in law go to a game party with your daughter and her hubby.
Loved every minute of it though, although my little Ava Malia conked out at about 9pm, and left Grandma to watch the game all alone. It was fun while it lasted, and she can even say "Bucks", though it sounds somewhat like "ducks".....:)
My daughter is not letting me grow old gracefully, as I'm going up to do the Heinygate thing with her and her hubby on Sat. for this weeks game.
GO BUCKS!!!!!!
yeah!
I'll more than likely be babysitting my nephew on Saturday during the game.
My brother and his wife are going to be there too.
Congratulations to the Buckeyes on a decisive win. I hope you guys win out
BTW Mike, Washington only covered the spread because Ty obviously had a bundle riding on the game and thus kicked a useless on sides kick, LOL.
Now you've done it.
:)
USC and Texas deserved to be in the title game - no argument about that...but I think that it was reasonably likely that if OSU had played them at the end of the season that they would have smacked either of them around.
We'll see over the next couple of weeks whether Texas was weeker than expected, or OSU just ate a good team. By mid season, expect OSUs defense to be a lot stronger than it is now.
