If we could get 10,000 new Bulldog Club members to give just $100, that would be $1,000,000. I'm pretty sure that there are 10,000 MSU fans that would be willing to give AT LEAST that much money.

 

[engineerdog]

Exactly JacksonDevilDog. That is the part that LT never could understand. 500 people giving $1000 is the same as one guy giving $500,000. But LT always ignored the small donors. You can't do that for several reasons. One reason is that the small donors can add up. A second reason is that you never know when your $100 donor may become a $10,000 donor in a few years and then might become a $1,000,000 donor one day. Many of these millionaires started off broke.

 

[Goat Holder]

I, myself, joined up with $100. I asked others on here to do it and was laughed at.

 

[beachbumdawg]

i signed up during Cohen's Presser</p>

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

and they are the same ones that will ***** about us being little ole MSU and not having any money. There has to be a lot of money on this board because everyone on here is extremely smart and must have high paying jobs. End of sarcasm.</p>

</p>

Seriously, you can be a ditch digger and give 100 bucks to the Bulldog Club.</p>

[dawgstudent]

I call BS. No posts run off the page like they did on ezboard. I don't remotely remember that.

 

[Goat Holder]

Good luck with it. I'm not searching for anything. It's there whether you remember it or not.

 

[Todd4State]

you never know when one of your cigar boys is going to go to die or go to jail.

If I die or go to jail, it's not a big blow to MSU athletics.</p>

Byrne had been hired well in advance, but you already know that, instigating mf'er. Byrne's actions is why I joined.

 

[Dawgbreeze]

We have signed up at least ten since LT's regime has been reported ended and some of them are 2500.00 a year up. Tells you something doesn't it.

 

[maroonmania]

when I was convinced the transition in the athletic department would take place. I had at least heard enough out of Byrne to be convinced there was renewed hope that our AD might actually have some vision and strategies to advance our athletics. Now I have given in the past through other people to get better football tickets but it was my first time to join individually.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

I thought the actual power shift happened in June?

Byrne's actions is why I joined.

what had byrne done by that time other than start shaking hands and kissing babies? i know that was a change from LT but not really an indication of what he was going to do for the athletic department. i could be forgetting something that he had done. just asking. now...after the cohen hire...i think there is plenty of indication of what is to come.

 

[patdog]

and his replacement has already been named to be "in charge," then yeah I guess Templeton was in charge. But I think a better indication of who was in charge is who hired the new baseball coach and who had no input whatsoever in the process.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

was so LT wouldn't have any say. But really all I know is what I read here

 

[patdog]

Byrne was put in charge of hiring a new coach back in April. So you tell me who was in charge.

[rhs43]

how do you join? i'm only 23 and just graduated but i think i can scrounge up 100 bucks.

 

[maroonmania]

just go to mstateathletics.com and there is a link there where you can join up. That's actually the way I did it.

 

[Dawg in a pile]

Bulldog Club

or call 662-325-3074.

And you don't even have to scrounge up $100, you can split it up throughout the year. At $100 per year they will debit your bank account for $8.34 per month.

 

[MaroonInNashville]

When Cohen was announced as the new coach I ponied up $100...that will increase as my income goes up so long as I see progress being made...I just wanted to see definitive proof of regime change first...

 

[RobertF50]

I gave $100.00 after the press conf. and hope to raise that amount one day soon.

 

[williecunningham]

I really hope nobody in the Bulldog Club offices is popping off about signing up 10 new members. If they are, I hope they are re-assigned within the University to a non-sales type position.

 

[dawgstudent]

so he recruited 10 people himself to join.

 

[jackstefano]

at least on a temporary basis

I heard this year that your ranking was based on what you paid in at the time of the application deadline.

Basically if I pledged $500 this year, but had only paid $250 at the time of the application deadline, my ranking was based on the $250.
I actually do not disagree with this as 1) I went ahead and made sure I had my complete contribution paid by the deadline which was of greater benefit to the school and 2) I do not want some deadbeat saying they will donate $1000 to get good seats and then never pony up.
