Missed it by a week... of course, there were other things going on that week.

Absolutely he's been working his butt off

Congrats to coach big no matter how the championship game comes out. He has proven he is a great coach - probably hall of fame caliber.

He left a very cushy and well paying job at A&M to go to Mississippi state.he didn't leave for a traditional power, but a program that no one thought had a chance. That takes confidence in ability and actual ability. There are a lot of assistants who would have just stayed and been content being the #2. He could have stayed and probably helped us and coach Blair win. That would have been easy, but the guy is a competitor and wanted to prove he could do it as the man. Congrats to him and hope his bulldogs win it all.

Vic won about half of the CoY awards and the rest went to Muffet.

Proud of this AGGIE and what he has accomplished as a man, father, and coach. He exemplifies all the attributes of what a leader is. Vic, I hope you win another National Championship! Go Dawgs!
