I believe he was referring to the loudness of the atmosphere as created by 50G's worth of cowbells. Whether he was referring to that or not, it looks like Dan Mullen is on a mission to change the way the other 5 teams in the west view Miss St. I'd say we're 3 years away from your question being unfortunately laughable.
http://www.mainstsupply.com/product.cfm/8/22/16817I good cowbell is about $13, so "50gs worth of cowbells" will buy you only 3,846 cowbells. That's not a lot of noise really compared to 87,451 people. Just sayin.
As for what we'll be saying in three years....history shows that likely we'll think about the same thing we do now. They can upset some people, and you have to take them serious, but they are unlikely to sustain any kind of success. Since....well, forever, they have won 8 games in back to back seasons exactly three times....e v e r. 1998-2000, 1980-81, and 1939-42.
And just because Auburn is struggling and has a similar SEC record to MSU, our history shows the opposite of what I just mentioned about MSU. Since 1960, Auburn has only gone more than two years without 8 wins two times. 1975-78 and 1964-68. Auburn has won 9 games 16 times since 1980 (Alabama has done it 14 times, just for reference). MSU has won 9 games
2 times since 1980, and only
FOUR times total in their whole history.
The point is, MSU is MSU, and if Mullen has some success there, he'll most likely end up somewhere else like LSU or Georgia, etc.
I'm also kind of thinking the "we had no false starts at MSU" is kind of irrelevant anyway. You also didn't have a TD against Tennessee in your own stadium, and gained only 256 yards against them. And actually two of your FGs were 49 and 50 yards. Auburn scored two TDs and had two FGs inside the 10 yard line (on 459 yards). Is all of that relevant? I hope so, but not likely. But it's at least more relevant than no false starts in the midst of 3,846 cowbells.
