Does anybody know if MSU football is ever going to get a nice trailer?

[Stansfield]

It is so embarassing that all the other SEC schools have a tractor trailer with nice signage promoting their school. MSU still uses U-Hauls on away games. I hope that is one of the first things Byrnes does for the football team. It can't cost that much to buy a trailer and put some cool signage on it, it would pay for itself in recruiting and just pride and moral for the team. The U-Haul trucks are so cheap and embarassing. Give me a damn break. Thank goodness cheap *** LT is on his way out.

A couple things. I'm really indifferent to the look of the transportation that we use to carry football gear, the image thing needs to be projected onto more important things.

it would pay for itself in recruiting and just pride and moral for the team.

That's hysterical. No doubt Chris Garrett and possibly C. Bumphis would sign on the dotted line today if we could have closed the deal on that sweet M-State mack truck the other day.

Also, thanks for changing you avatar.

I understand that an alumni benefactor gives the school the use of the Uhauls gratis.

Doc may have painted it **** brown. Zing!

I go to a lot of games and I have never once noticed the other team's trailer. Maybe I was too busy cooking stuff I kill, drinking heavily, and staring at **** my wife won't let me have.

<h3>Does anybody know if MSU football is ever going to get a nice trailer?</h3>

the real question is if anyone besides you gives a damn.</p>

and really now, how can pride and morale pay for the cost of a tractor-trailer? whats the going rate for pride...$10 per ounce of pride?</p>

and what sort of recruit gives a **** about how stuff gets to other schools??? i would hate to have recruits that care about such a thing. that should be the absolute last thing a recruit cares about. they should be busy caring about 1.their chance to play 2.the success of the team 3. *****(can be 1 or 2) 4.campus life/school/coaches/pretty much anything else........4356.what MSU uses to haul **** to other schools.</p>
