“I personally am an aggressive person. I like to be aggressive. I like to take shots down field. I like to stretch the field vertically and I like to stretch the field horizontally.”
Starts at the 18:20 mark.
I'm going to go watch some Marshall gametape from last season to see an example of his mentality of being aggressive then.
Sounds to me like the new OC likes to throw the DEEP BALL. If the new DC likes to BLITZ then Ike should have a happy season.

You don't need a huge hole for an athlete to advance the ball. I'm more of an attack the weak spot guy. Work the weak spot until they stop it. Make them change to compensate for their weak spots, and then hit the space they must leave open because of the adjustments. To me that's football at an entirely different level.
I like that philosophy too. But you gotta stretch the field to keep the DBs and safeties from crowding the line of scrimmage. Keep them honest and it’s easier run the ball.

So as of the date / time I'm posting this there are 46 votes. So, I'd surmise that there are no more than 60-70 individual active posters - if that many.....and a whole **** load of alts talking to each other.
As of this posting about 6 weeks before the game 23 pick the Tigers to win and 23 have already given up. We have a problem with fan support. Most of the ones who have given up probably believe an 8 team playoff with 7 or 8 P5 teams is the only logical tournament.

The Tigers can win the game. It is not likely that they will do so but they could - it's why they actually play the games.
If you are that hard core and cannot tolerate reasonable people with reasonable opinions then go liquidate every asset you have, download a sports betting app, and put it all on the Tigers. Do it or you don't REALLY THINK THE TIGERS WILL WIN AND THIS MESSAGE BOARD POSING IS ALL FOR SHOW. Hell to win your bet the Tigers don't even have to win the game they just have to cover; so you will start the game with a 16.5 point lead.

Time: 6:30 pm
TV: ESPNU
Opponent: Mississippi State University
Location: Starkville, MS
Enrollment: 23,086
Mascot: "Bully" the Bulldog
Notable Alumni: Billy J. Murphy
2021 Record: 7-6 (4-4). Lost to Texas Tech 34-7 in the Liberty Bowl
Record vs Memphis All Time: 34-11
Most Recent: Memphis won 31-29 on 9/18/21 at Liberty Bowl Stadium, ending a 12 game losing streak to the Bulldogs.
Returning Starters: Offense (8) Defense (8)
Key Losses: WR Makai Polk, LT Charles Cross, DB Martin Emerson
Team Strength: QB and Defensive Line. Returning Quarterback Will Rogers, set numerous single season records for a State QB last season. A lot of that has to due with being the quarterback of a Mike Leach coached football team and his Air Raid offense, but Rogers is a strong quarterback regardless. The defensive line returns all of its starters from a year ago and gets back Jordan Davis who missed all of last season with a knee injury.
Team Weakness: Defensive Secondary. Martin Emerson is off to the NFL after being one of the better DB's in the SEC. Safety Fred Peters is also gone. Finding capable replacements for both is imperative for MSU to be relevant in the SEC.
Summary: MSU will quite possibly be the Tigers toughest opponent this season. Likely to be ranked just outside of the top 25 to start the season, the Bulldogs have the experience to be a solid team in the SEC. However, with questions in the secondary and Mike Leach's Air Raid offenses ability to go silent at times, the Bulldogs still have an uphill battle in the SEC. This would definitely be an early season upset if the Tigers were to go into Starkville and pull off a win, and would give them some major momentum to start the season with. Go Tigers!

meh
I've picked the Tigers to win, and they've lost.
I've picked them to lose, and they've won.
One thing remains constant - I always root for them.
No exception.
