The day that the Jackson metro area/Starkville figures out Bo is a fraud pos is the day I’ll praise Jesus. I’ve never liked how he portrays being a fan is only for the rich man. **** him.
One thing that might make us football competitive.......

- Start date
Ha whatever. I’m honestly sick of hearing excuses. It’s Okla-freakin-homa. They lost to a team that gives no athletic scholarships. Navy is now 2-0 all time verses the Sonners.
There is no excuse in any way, for a SEC school, to lose to a school that doesn’t even give athletic scholarships. There’s a reason you got a scholarship to the university of Oklahoma. Get er done!
I've thought for a few years, and expressed here before the idea that you might field 2 different offenses...one an air-raid or some modified version of one, and the other a triple option. Perhaps your triple-option players aren't highly-enough rated to make an SEC roster elsewhere, but are good enough to run triple option effectively enough to force opposing DC's to split valuable game-week prep time accounting for both.
That way, at any point in the game we could run the triple option out there for as many plays as we like, yet against a defense that couldn't realistically prepare for both our #1 offense and our TO offense.
Given the current state of football with NIL, transfer rules, portals, etc., there seems to be not as much a need or even value to gradually bring along the younger non-starting players to take over when their time comes. Good ones, or those who show potential might be gone before they ever start for us.
But the kind of athletes that would come to State willing to play triple option for a chance to play in the SEC might be less likely to get poached, thus get better at it each year. I'm thinking you might be able to get by with 1 coach doing most of the work with that unit.
Think about it. If the opposing defense doesn't adequately prepare in one week of game prep for either or both offenses, then one or both have a better chance at success, even if we don't match up on talent across the board.
Maybe you take the players who can't break into the 2-deep to learn and practice the triple option. Sure, if they took the field it would then be against much more highly-rated players, but also players who had very little time to prep, perhaps closing the talent gap enough.

True but the bottom line is Bo has a poor way of delivering his message because if you listen to what few local shows we have, they’re more informative and less nose up in the air. If we’re being honest, the description of Bo’s show falls in line with the ole miss crowd.
Y’all do realize if OU would’ve caught say just 3 of the 5 passes they dropped (that hit them in the hands) and if their 60 yard rushing TD had not been called back because of penalty they would have won the game. Stupid mistakes on offense got them beat.
Who wants to play in a triple option? Have any triple option teams achieved anything nationally noteworthy in the last 30 years?

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Georgia Tech players hopped happily, hugged each other and danced in place. The clock had just struck midnight on New Year's Eve, so they had two things to celebrate.
Minutes earlier, the #12 Yellow Jackets had completed a 49-34 victory over #7 Mississippi State in the Capital One Orange Bowl.

We’ve won bowls been to Atlanta and been ranked…feels like a distant memory now…
Just answering your question. Can add the success Willie Fritz has had at every stop, including Tulane where he finished #9 in 2022 and was 11-2 in 2023 before resigning to take the Houston job.
Fritz runs a triple option out of a gun formation.
I’d prefer not to but if we win big I don’t much care how we do it. Please do t bring back the 4 corners stall in hoops tho or I might recant my testimony.
I have said this to a degree for years. I think running back is making a comeback in the NFL. If Detroit, or Philly or Baltimore can overcome Mahomes, it will continue a comeback. Those 3 are really running teams. Those 3 teams along with Pittsburgh and Chargers want to play a little more old fashioned. So find kids that are great athletes that can't convert to a WR and tell them they will get a chance to run at State. Find a QB that they won't really give him a chance in a passing offense and tell him he can play QB here and doesn't have to convert to a slot receiver or defensive back.
Now it can't be the old fashioned wishbone. It has to be much more creative and deceptive. There needs to be actual deep threats. Needs to be alot of misdirection.

Willie Fritz was 54-47 at Tulane, including 2 great seasons with a once in a lifetime QB. He's 4-8 at Houston.
And the year after that, 12-2, ranked #9 in the country after beating #10 USC in the Cotton Bowl. C'mon, man! The guy has been successful at every stop, taking over crappy teams and turning them into winners. 5 conference championships at 4 different schools.
The guy's track record suggests he knows what he's doing and is a damn good coach.
