Mississippi State Football, You Are A Let Down

But it isn't anyone's fault, we just need a change.

Mississippi State Football, You Are A Let Down

Currently, 5/3 and 4th in SEC West, to me still a disappointment.

You can have potential all day long, but potential is pointless when players should be producing. Overall, this is not completely in the hands of Coach Moorhead or even Nick Fitzgerald. Sure, anyone can put blame on them and I mean, yeah, if the shoe fits they can wear it, but the honest truth is this team is just not where it once was.

At the beginning of the season, this year's team and brand new coach were showing so much potential and everyone had faith that we would be a standout team. Even now as the season is started to close up, we still show promise, but don't you think that if a team is showing potential it should grow rather than have its ups and downs?

Yes, every team has ups and downs but no team should ever have its fans literally chanting for a replacement quarterback.

This 2018 football season has been the biggest upset in our football history. Not because of the final score or the records or the interceptions, but because absolutely nothing has been produced from this year except one record. Not only that but the record went to a player who went from being talked about for a potential Heisman to literally being booed off the field game after game.

A football team can have wins and losses and records, but they are only as good as their fanbase and let me tell you, the majority of this one is disappointed. How many football teams have not just a student section, but entire stadium chanting for their starting quarterback to be taken out of the game? It is crazy that after these years with the same inconsistent quarterback it took this one season for a whole fanbase to boo him.

But here is the truth, Nick has done his time - whether he did it well or not is a different story. It is time for a change. It's time for our players to be switched out and for our new coach to spend time on the people who are about to be starting, even if they only start for one season. It is time to invest energy into the people with potential so that they can produce. Coach Moorhead should stop giving his energy to players (yes, multiple) who are not giving this fanbase something to believe in.

Mississippi State has players who could be some of the greatest football players to come from this university, it is time to give them the chance or let them leave.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
