They’re all on Facebook. I can identify the ones that do both just by the Facebook level takes I read here sometimes.

We will. And admittedly, you’re right, Starkville could give OG some real problems especially Week 1. I just thought it was funny that the whole North bias came out. I couldn’t care less about that debate. OG has held their own far better than any of the other 7A south programs against the North lately.

I lived through Joe Moorhead 2018 and can confirm that no situation is too good for a crappy first year head coach to mess up. Now, I think there’s reason to believe Golding is far more competent than Moorhead. But you never know with these things. Everyone thought Moorhead was a great hire until one fateful night in Lexington, Kentucky.

This is a product of only one or two regular season games having any consequence anymore

Woah why the name calling ? I'm not going to hijack the thread defending my position on him. I meant what I said run off. As in " you thinking of taking the Starkville job ? Ok man see you later . There's some empty boxes for you to put your stuff in the hall ." If you want to go on and on about it start another topic .I will be happy to engage you. Otherwise , enjoy your Morgan

Everyone is pointing to the brutal October for State, but it doesn’t set up well in September either. Three toss up games that are vital to their season and two are on the road. As far as on the field, the defense doesn’t have the talent they used to, but Armett does seem to get the most out of what he has. I expect them to be better on that side. On offense, they have enough playmakers and Lebby is supposed to be good at getting them in the right spots, BUT I don’t know if they improved the OL any. They have to keep Taylor healthy. State was so close to some huge upsets last year. They’ll need several just to get to 6 wins. State 4-8 Has a first year head coach been more set up than Golding. Is there any way he can mess this up. Having a new OC is huge, but they have the QB, RB, and OL to be successful while working out the kinks. Kinda like State, we will have a good gauge on how the season is going after the first 3-4 games. Louisville should be a decent matchup, but I expect OM to win by 10 or more. On the road at FL after the huge LSU matchup is key. OM has several close wins last year. Can they pull off the close wins this year? OM 9-3

Defensive and testy. Someone must have stepped on your toes LOL.

I will say Laurel keeps it close until halftime. Then WJ puts the gas pedal down in second half wins going away.

We're going back 3 years and still "butthurt"? But it makes sense to go back that far if you're a Picayune fan. I guess you have to reflect on the "good ole" days. Wasn't Starkville actullay in the State Championship game 3 years ago? Since then Hattiesburg has been doing what I do to the Maroon Tide and flushing it down the bowl only to get battered in the Championship game.

Laurel was trashed by graduation as much as no one wants to admit. I don’t think they got much of anything this year. Yes a win by low score would feel a bit discouraging. But we beat Terry 2-0 a year we win state, so.

Yes that is correct.

Would a WJ win by like a 21-14 type score feel like a loss? I expect a big WJ win as well, but strange things happen between those bricks ever so often. Even if its Laurel losing. I mean how do you explain Laurel blowing a 32-6 lead to Hattiesburg with 3:30 left in the game a few yrs back

We'll find out friday?

Y'all play Thursday night if I remember correctly. Is that correct?

I have tried to take a little bit of a step back from posting as much as my son is in his senior year here at OS and actually is going to play some this year (finally - LOL) Do not want to post a ton and get myself or him in hot water. LOL

Bo knows that he's butthurt. He really doesn't have any ground to stand on.

I been waiting on someone else to start a WJ/Laurel thread, ideally a Laurel fan if they aren’t in hiding yet, so I won’t look too much like a home when I have WJ winning that game big. Possibly with a running clock.

I reckon it's the calm before the storm. That's all I can figure.

Ohhhhh ok now everything makes more sense Didn’t OG just beat Starkville in the very first 7A state title game? Funny how life works lol.

It is way too quiet on here for it to be the first week of High School Football. Not one post about WJ/Laurel. Starkville/Oak Grove Brandon/Tupelo. Clinton/Warren Central. Not much being said about Picayune/Gulfport Petal/Hattiesburg either.

I couldn’t care less bout the Starkville/Oak grove game but I would find it funny if oak grove won it.

@EnterpriseBulldogsFanAt some point, you are going to have to come to the realization that Enterprise is a well coached but will struggle against opponents who have better athletes.

Run off from West Point.... What an idiot.... Guess the skin graft comment was thrown in there to make it sound more believable.... 24-4 with a State Championship and a State Runner up. I usually pay a little attention to your post but this one proves you're a looney toon. Morgan was the cog behind the wheel when Chambliss was there and everyone in the Golden Triangle knows it. Morgan developed West Points Offense from scratch. West point used to get beat by mainly Oxford and some others every year in 1-5a. Then they hired Morgan and never looked back. They finally got over the Oxford hump in the North in 2016 and have been in the Championship basically every year since they started running this Offense. Starkville beat Oak Grove last year and they were so terrible they beat Brandon also and went 6-5 losing by 3 to Madison, 6 to Oxford, and 10 to Tupelo. Oh and they return 16 starters. Starkville wins by at least 21. Oak Grove is to soft along with the rest of the southern half of the state.

They hired West Points Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator and a couple other assistants.

Well, we’ve very nearly made it, friends. With a decent looking Week Zero and a somewhat underwhelming Week 1, I figured let’s go ahead and combine the first couple of weeks to get the discussion going. Week 0 games of note: TCU vs North Carolina in Ireland, NC State vs Virginia, Memphis vs UNLV, plus Southern Cal and Florida State both in action…. I’m not a huge Week 0 guy but there’s enough meat on the bone this weekend where I’ll definitely be tuning in for some of those games. Now, onto the games with more of a rooting interest here… Skipping ahead to next Sunday night, let’s talk Ole Miss vs Louisville in Nashville. Rebels are a 7 point favorite as I type this 13 days out. I am fascinated by this matchup. Both fanbases will likely travel very well for this one. It’s not really Game 1 for Golding but it kinda is, and it’s against a really savvy veteran coach in Jeff Brohm who has a good team of his own. We’ve had 9 months of nothing but Ole Miss-LSU talk, and so the natural question has to be can OM avoid the lookahead trap? Do we know what we have yet in Golding as a head coach and program builder? I think the answer to that question is no….But you know what you have at QB, and that’s worth a whole lot. I think it will be close, because Ole Miss played a ton of close games last year and I don’t that changes with a coaching change, but I’m taking the Rebels to outlast Louisville for the W. I will give UL the cover though. Ole Miss 34, Louisville 30. State vs ULM - Dogs currently a 28.5 point favorite. ULM really struggled last year and for Jeff Lebby’s sake this needs to be an improved State team, so I will be disappointed if it’s not a comfy State win. I kinda think State will be out to make a statement on both sides of the ball and play aggressive. The Kamario Taylor era gets one tune up and then it’s right into the fire. I’ll be on hand for this one so looking forward to being back at Davis Wade. I have State taking this one 51-14. LSU -9.5 vs Clemson - the Kiffin era begins with a big Saturday night home game. I think we are getting close to the end of the Dabo era and I’m pretty high on this LSU team so I will give the Purple and Gold Tigers a 14 point win here. Auburn vs Baylor - game being played in Atlanta because John Cohen is insistent on being like his idol Larry Templeton, I guess…. AU a touchdown favorite. A lot of USF flare on this Auburn team, but I’m a big fan of Alex Golesh and could see AU being one of the most improved teams in the SEC this year. I have Auburn taking this one by 17. USM opens against Alcorn…. I don’t know just a ton about USM but I watched Alcorn last year and they were probably the worst FCS team I’ve ever seen in person. ESPN is telling me USM is a 21 point favorite, I think they’ll cover easily. A bit of a dull Week 1 overall, but I’m sure we will have an upset or two somewhere. If you made me pick an upset special, a couple I’ve got my eyes on early on are Toledo over Michigan State and a real long shot pick is FAU over Florida.
