After Michael Henig did his best to earn MVP honors for LSU in a 45 point loss last weekend, Mississippi State turned their attention to the Green Wave. The Bulldogs have faced Tulane nearly 60 times, but in recent years Tulane's given MSU a bit of a fight. So much so that Rick Dickson, Tulane's Athletic Director, thinks the teams are pretty much even:"I think there's a lot of good in it," Dickson said. "I think we're dead even after four and at the end of the day we could both probably say if we play 10 times and were dead even we'd both be OK with that."While the disturbing part of this statement for most SEC teams would be the fact that they were just equated to Tulane, Travis from Hail Dear 'Ole State sees a deeper issue:
[I]t does sum up what Bulldog fans have long suspected about Templeton. Being "okay" with splitting a ten game series does not show the commitment to excellence one would expect from an SEC athletic director.There's no denying that taking the Bulldogs even as far as the top half of the SEC West is a tall order, but there's also been little in the way of progress in quite some time. It's not a stretch to distribute some of the blame for long-term mediocrity to the Athletic Director.
Vegas favors State by five-and-a-half this weekend in Louisiana.
