Good thread from the pay board - What's your unpopular State opinion?

It certainly cuts down on my spur of the moment trips to Starkville but that's also due to cost of travel and hotels these day too. However, it was a lot easier in the old park to drive up knowing i wouldnt have to stand the whole game.
I feel the fans owned more of the park before too.
the old rigs were fan made and had a grass roots feel. Now it's just premium boxes. It felt more unique back in the day.
and I hate berms at any ball park.
The more I think about this opinion the more I think you need to consider a one week ban for yourself.
Don't think it's changed this board. I was a member there for a short time. Those new guys are weird but I didn't feel like there was any value being a member. Don't care for recruiting crap and most the insider stuff wasn't much better than anything else. The folks that run it get their feelings hurt as much as rosebowl and Jorts. The only difference is that Robbie and Paul don't ban you for disagreeing. But their posters act like gods for their insider info when don't know jack.
I know some guys who wanted to go to state but got full rides to go to UM for engineering so they went there. We got to do better for sure
He is biding his time to go back to OU so he better do well
It’s not just OU, he's the Dan Mullen of ADs. Looking around at everything.
You are right that's very unpopular. Although I always liked his visible disdain for Marshall Henderson.
It's the way of the world...
Po folks make something cool and good and cheap. BBQ pork, red beans and rice, beef brisket, chicken wings, the LFL.
Then folks with money throw their money at it and make it expensive and less charming and good.
I feel like most bbq places are hated by someone.
Truth be told, my favorite Q is what I make at home. Unless I can find a good spot with good pork belly
No he’s not. He’s doing what ‘leadership’ tells him to do, which is increase NIL. Basically, be like Ole Miss because of course we should**
I’ll add a brief tale about Sonny’s. My freshman year I convinced a girl to go to dinner with me. Naturally, I want to impress this young lady, straight from one of Memphis’ finer private schools, so I take her for the best bbq she’s ever had. Shockingly, she wasn’t impressed by the decor of plywood and trophies. Anyway, she orders the half chicken dinner. I guess she was trying to impress me with how little she could eat and thought it was going to be a half portion. Well, when that plate came out, and it was a chicken cut in half, smoked, and served just like that, including a small portion of the neck, she looked at me and we both realized our relationship was not going to reach the levels I had hoped she hoped for. Glad I found out early on that she wasn’t a keeper.
and the biggest change was the change in the attitude of our fans. He stood up to Ole Miss and Billy Brewer and basically gave them the finger. My favorite tshirt from that era said something to the effect "Jackie put the hate in the game. Go to hell Ole Miss".
On the flip side…. A lot of former coaches either live in Starkville or have real estate here and come back pretty often.
Expand. Fan of the daffodils? I thought his AD hire set our athletic department in the right track for the most successful run we ever had with sports. I also feel like the university expanded in a positive manner z dude loved him some old planes too
2000 was the song worst coaching job I’ve ever seen besides the Arnett disaster. We should’ve been in the SECCG, but lost to the 4 worst teams on our schedule. Pathetic. And that was the beginning of the end for the Jackal.
We should rip out the bleachers in DWS and replace them with chairs even it its costs us $10M and 10K seats.
1) The time spent pining for the interlocking MSU logo is foolish. It was copied from Memphis State who had the same logo in the early 70s.
2) The Banner M is perfectly fine.
3) I wish the Walking Bully would go away

I have though this for many years: maroon or white jersey with gray pants.
As the thread says.. it’s not a popular opinion. Because all most folks know is he flew a plane, played in a band and rubber stamped the Byrne hire.
If our elitist little sisters to the north hadn’t balked on adding an Ag school, we’d have a mega university and would all be yelling HYDR a lot and raving about the Groooooove.
In the major sports since NIL, MSU athletes and sports teams are not any different from Ole Miss athletes and sports teams. Or LSU. Or Southern Miss. Or the Dallas Cowboys or Chicago Cubs.
All are just self-interested individuals representing where they got the best deal for themselves….and none give a damn about the university, school, town, or fans that helped them get that deal.
Therefore, none of them are worth rooting for anymore. Or rooting against.

My favorite uniforms are when we have the grey pants on. Both maroon and white jerseys look great with them.
The Ole Miss football team wore gray pants for decades. For some reason, they've started wearing white pants more often.
I think we really need to stick with maroon and white to improve our brand recognition. Although, gray is now considered one of the university's official support colors. It does look okay in limited use on uniforms.
The 2010 Football team was better than the 2014 Football team.
Don’t lie… you know you’re wearing maroon if the AD ask you to wear white or vice versa
Uttering "Hail State" to people in public as our go-to phrase is effing stupid. I am and always will be a simple "Go Dawgs!" guy.
I was actually kind of happy to hear someone even say, "How 'bout them Bulldogs!?" yesterday in a Fort Worth Costco (had my non-Script logo shirt on, too, which drew the statement). It sure wasn't a dumb "Hail State!".

Yeah i usually make at least one or 2 each year. I have no doubt that locally (in Starkville) baseball attendance is unchanged. I think what has changed is someone like me deciding to go from Jackson area on Sunday to catch a game. It’s a 50/50 proposition if you’re going to get a reasonably priced ticket.
Now I will also say, I have a 4 year old son and it’s hard enough to get him to hang out in a seat for most of the game… the berm is impossible. I’m not one opposed to the berm or standing up along a drink rail, it’s just not an option for me with my 4 year old son. But that will change as he gets older and I’m sure we will go to more games then.
He was Grade A pain in the *** to Larry Templeton, so he gets a free pass from me. LT will forever feel the stinging sensation of having Foglesong's boot stuck up his ***. We should have a statue of Foglesong outside of Lee Hall based on that alone.
I will say that I thought it was a strange hire. What does a career Brass Hat know about running a modern day University? I am a big believer in making hires based on practical experience.
