Faces of the Program...

[dawgstudent]

The WWL is now doing a faces of the program (football). If I had to pick one, it would be Jack Cristil. But to the national media, I have no idea who they would pick. My guess would be Sherrill.

Ole Miss would be Archie or Eli for the media and Vaught maybe to the locals.

i mean, is there any doubt that they would choose croom?

 

[Todd4State]

My pick would be Jerious Norwood or Keefer.</p>

 

[dawgstudent]

but how can your face of the program be 17-33 (or something close to that). Wait, this is MSU football.

 

[Henry Kissinger]

one of the four greatest coaches in sec history per sports illustrated. just saying

but yeah i'd give it sherrill

 

[dawgstudent]

Basketball
Me: Bailey Howell
Media: Stansbury

Baseball:
Me: Ron Polk
Media: Ron Polk

 

[MaxwellSmart]

After looking at all of the ones listed they could use the cowbell..........or Murphy's law.

For the other two sports

baseball- Polk
basketball- Bailey

 

[Todd4State]

Basketball:

Media: Howell
Me: Timmy Bowers or Daryl Wilson.
Sarcasm: Walter Sharpe

Baseball:

Media: Palmeiro
Me: Clark
Sarcasm: Bunky Kateon</p>

Already a few I disagree with:

Iowa has to be Hayden Fry.
Houston, like it or not, should be John Jenkins.
Colorado I would vote for Bill McCartney.
I also think the mascots and stadiums are copouts, but if that is an option, I would have to vote for the Swamp over Spurrier at Florida. The face of your program CAN NOT be coaching another team in your division.

Basketball
Media: LaToya Thomas
Me: Tan White

Baseball
Both: Diamond Girls

And the only prescription is more cowbell. ESPN agrees.

 

[patdog]

The face of the Oregon football program is Phil Knight. Damn I hate Nike. And yet I still buy their stuff.

 

[Duane Chapman]

But I kinda agree. I don't think we really have a "face" of the university. Yeah people are going to associate a current coach (Croom, Stans, Polk/Cohen) with a school/program, but I don't think there's any one figure, such as a former player or coach, that outsiders think of when they think MSU. In the SEC, maybe Jackie, and baseball fans will think of Polk, but that's it. I think for most of the few that know anything about MSU, if there's anything they associate with the school it's the cowbell... or cow pastures.</p>

If they had fictional schools on there, Minnesota State would be a three-way tie.

On a slightly related note, here is some random knowledge - Dauber does the voice of Patrick Star on Spongebob.

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

Nothing wrong with him, but how does he become the face of MSU football?

Jackie Sherrill is probably the most identifiable part of MSU football to the general public in yankeeland.

 

[jakldawg]

It's the cowbell.

The other choices were: John Bond, Sherrill, Croom, or Jack Cristil

 

[Agentdog]

Johnny Cooks should have been in there. I know defensive players are not always as popular as offensive. However, he is our highest draft pick ever and played many years in the NFL.

Ole Miss.......because Archie was before my time and Eli is to soon. I think Ole Miss. I think about a crowd full of Confederate Flags. Not meant as a dig but when I went to my first game in Oxford there was a sea of them.

Memphis......night games at the Liberty Bowl. Or Scott Schere.....hey he beat UT........Oh, Xavier Crawford converting a 4th and 1 into a 40 yard TD romp in Starkville to seal a win on a good State team......bastard.

One question, though:

The SEC adopted a rule in 1974 banning artificial noisemakers. The vote was 9-1 (there were 10 SEC schools at the time), and you can guess which school voted against it. Despite the rule, cowbells can still be heard ringing every time the Bulldogs score or make a big play.

Everyone on this board says LT voted <span style="font-weight: bold;">for</span> this rule. So who is correct? ESPN, or Joe Sixpack?

Geez. How long do you think Templeton was AD here? 1974 was 34 years ago. Shira or Tyler was AD back then. Templeton did vote to enforce the rule with on the field penalties back in 2000 or so. </p>

 

[Stansfield]

Will Ferrell has got to come to some State games and ring the cowbell now.

 

[KurtRambis4]

football: john michael marlin
basketball: tang hamilton
baseball: danny tackett

 

[davatron]

You must not be a true MSU fan.

 

[MaleBovineK9]

I don't think he was. Didn't he start in the 80's?

Edited to add: "Templeton has served since 1987 as director of athletics."

 

[graddawg]

That'll never happen. He married an Ole Miss girl.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

After Charley Shira, Bob Tyler was AD, and then Carl Maddox, Charley Scott, Charlie Carr, and then Larry Templeton. If Joe Dean Jr's name was Charles, I think he would have been named AD.

Uh, I don't think so.

[graddawg]
