I am beginning to grow some dangerously thick football wool.....

This is recruiting class might be STACKED. We lose 5 good players and Croom still raves about depth and how we can play with anybody in the country. Season tickets are skyrocketing. We have a new AD that's kicking ***.

Not to mention that we will have a baseball coach not named Polk in the coming weeks. And probably not named Raffo. That makes the season tanking worth it.

Naturally "skyrocketing" was a bit of an embellishment.

The early online orders are way ahead of last seasons. Plus, with the buzz coming off of an 8-5 season and another possible bowl season around the bend, ticket sales will definitely be up. There hasn't been this much excitement around MSU football since 2001. I know how that season went, but you get my point. I see no reason why we shouldn't have at least 6 wins this year. I know we are MSU, but it does seem that the attitude has changed up there.

I agree with Goat. This recruiting class will be stacked. I know numbers don't mean much, but a nice class with a nice year makes it even better. I fully expect this class to be in the top 25, possibly top 20.

I expect us to sign or me a MAJOR player for these players:

1. Cox (MSU commit, offered by LSU, Bama, Auburn, Colorado)
2. Patterson (offered by LSU, Auburn, Alabama, MSU, Ole Miss)
3. Boyd (offered by LSU, Michigan, Alabama, MSU, Ole Miss, Auburn)
4. Russell (MSU commit, UT and Bama pressing hard on him)
5. Usher (after the summer camps, he'll have a few nice offers, MSU will get him)
6. Montrell Conner (he's liked us all the way and LSU won't be a factor because they have 2 (4*) RB's committed) Big boy offers on Montrell (USC, A&M, Tennessee, Oklahoma and MSU leads by a large margin)
7. Bumphis (We lead right now by the slimmest of margins according to a few sources I've personally heard (not Rosebowl). Tyler Russell and him are in contact often. Offered by Fla, UT, Bama, Ole Miss, LSU, Auburn)
8. Thames (if he stays in Mississippi, he's ours. Offered by Michigan, MSU, Auburn, Ole Miss and Arky)

A couple of these are obvious because they are committed. It's been a long time that we have lead for serious talent with other schools offering them as well. That would be the bulk of our class.

....and I really don't mean to flame you, but it gets old with you posting stuff like this and then going off the deep end when something bad happens. I think it's safe to say that most people are cautiously optimistic, but you take it to another level with stuff like this. Next week, when somebody decommits, you'll be trashing Croom and the football program. If you want to go on an emotional rollercoaster ride over this stuff that's fine, but don't take the rest of the board with you.

Wait a minute, I'm not one to trash Croom at ANY time or the football program. You obviously have me confused with someone else. I may bash Polk here and there, but I'm about as cautiously optimistic as they come. Im excited about football this year and recruiting. We should be.

Edited to say: Was that aimed at me or Goat?

Yeah, OK. We don't all get our self worth from this board, but if it annoys you, ignore me or something, because you're worthless replies screw up threads.

....you're a perfect guinea pig to test out that feature, although I hate to miss out on any sig worthy quotes.
