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

- Start date
No it wasn't. His tenure was short, but he loved the students. You could go to the President's house and have a Snicker bar with him. He was very approachable.
The 2015 football team was better than the 2014 and the 2010 football teams and was actually the best Mississippi State football team of the modern era, but not by a wide margin.
Honestly, as hot as most of our games are, I'm pretty much wearing white no matter what.
Millions of peaches. Peaches for me.
That is definitely what the average six pack reader looks likeGutsy move. Manziere or no manziere?
Pretty much the same stuff. Meltdowns occur and people are idiots there too, but there is actual inside information on the pay board.
Dak was better the rest was not. If 2015 passing dak was present in 2014 we make playoff. Our line was horrendous in 2015. Our running game was not as good in 15 either.
I think I misspoke. Most of my qualms are with on3, not the fact there is a pay board. I just miss the vibe of the old board.
Threaded View, Customizable Up & Down Votes, Slogans, etc. This one is fancier, but I like the old one better.
As for the pay board, I would argue that what makes this board fun is the users. I have no use for inside recruiting info (and suspect it's all worthless anyway) so the idea of paying to hear the opinions of other clueless State fans seems silly when I can come read all the idiots here for free.
Said this on the pay board and I'll also say it here:
We should have enclosed both end zones and chairbacked the lower bowl in the east and west side before even thinking about adding the second deck.

Regarding our sports programs, I don't dwell on the past. You will rarely find me sitting and pining over any of our programs or coaches from our past years.
The new State script logo is OK, but it's not worth the amount of constant bickering.
I used to think we bitched more than any other fanbase, and then I looked at some other sports boards, and we are pretty mild.
The only opinion I have that people probably wouldn't like is that we will never be a serious contender for all the sports in this conference; well, not as much as we think we should be. We should always strive to improve, but some expectations are unrealistic. Most of our programs are now pretty successful, except for the current state of baseball.

17 you, I'm well rounded.
I never understood the hate for Mullen and the coaches wearing shorts. Who gives a ****? It was hot as hell outside
If you're great because you have the greatest player in school history having his best season, a bad O Line doesn't make the overall team result less great. Every team has stronger and weaker elements.
I miss the midweek afternoon baseball games. Always looked forward to catching a game after my last class.
"Davis Wade Stadium". Hardly anyone uses "Scott field" any more. 80 years of tradition "Scott field" was pissed away in an instant. Students barely know what Scott field is. A Larry Templeton special delivery.
I've always said people look at the wrong date for the day the Jackie Sherrill era died. It wasn't 9/11. It was Saturday night, October 21, 2000 in Tiger Stadium when we blew two 14-point leads and Joe Lee Dunn's vaunted defense gave up 45 points.
Wrong. End zone seats suck. I’ll go to the upper deck with no hesitation. But I’m not buying a ticket in the end zone.
The most recent MSU baseball team was a consensus Top 20 in the nation.
If that's somehow unsuccessful, I don't think you're in the correct fan base for your mental health. They were easily the best team among the Big 3 sports this past season.
Fixed it for you
My 1st unpopular State opinion is that people on MSU message boards get too worked up about what uniforms our players wear.
My 2nd unpopular State opinion is that people on MSU message boards get too worked up.

I'm just saying 2014 with 2015 version of dak would be the overall best team. It had a lot more pieces. Better defense, better line and running game. Dak just wasn't as polished a passer and that hurt us two games that year. 2015 him likely wins those games with the line and running game.
2018 was the best team we’ve arguably ever had from a sheer talent perspective. 2014 was fun, but I’m not even sure they were one of the 2 best teams we’ve had in the last 15 seasons
I don’t think this is an unpopular take, I just think it makes people cringe initially since he tragically passed away:
The Mike Leach Mississippi State years (2020-2022) were boring as hell. I was underwhelmed.

Starkville Cafe still has an old car tag for front of vehicles that says "Miss State Maroons"
Now that's carrying things a bit too far
I thought they set up the Ag school and hired the professors, but nobody came. Yeoman farmers didn't want their sons mixing with pseudo-aristocracy.
I hate the fact our leadership at the top is too conservative and tries to run athletics from Lee Hall.
Best thing that came out of StarkVegas was the Edam cheese with the walking bulldog on the carton outside.
Everyone wanted it..
But only a few got it
But we wasn’t called StarkVegas then

One of my favorite things about college football is tradition and pageantry. And ours completely sucks. Stand up, watch a video, get excited, sit down and calm down, watch another video, stand up, sit, here’s a video, here’s an ad, do a cheer, play Madelone, here’s an ad, will ferrel, sit back down, give me another t, stand up again, start ringing, stop ringing for the ad, here’s the team running out, now watch another add, do 2 more different cheers that are abbreviated then kick. We have 37 different motions to go through before the game starts. Then when the game finally starts we can’t figure out how to prioritize the band vs the jumbotron’s sponsored interruptions.
I say the Sherrill era died whatever date (late 2000) Mal Moore Informed him that he didn't get the Bama job. That had to kill all the wind in his sails.
