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

[biodawg]

I’m apathetic about The Kang. I don’t hate him, but I definitely don’t like him.

 

[biodawg]

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.

Met Doc once at a speaking event. Every time I passed him on campus after that, he would call me by name. “Hey biodawg! How are ya? How are classes going?”

....but neither is as good as the original

Used to drive through the field in 1977 to park there. No one ever walked by me and said I didn’t belong there because I didn’t pay

Dak annoys me in his interviews. He's too rehearsed.

Dak single-handedly gave us our best year but also choked away the best opportunity State will ever have at a national championship. Forgot about the Alabama game but he shows out during the Egg Bowl, we make the playoffs.

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.

Pics during the ride back to Dorman?

Selmon is going to end up being one of the most disliked ADs State has had by the time he leaves.

I will take this bet

 

[skipperDawg]

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.

Then some blue hair behind you says “sit down I can’t see

 

[She Mate Me]

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.

Yup.

That game at Auburn when we scored 40 something straight points was a snoozer.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

That was before camera phones

 

[retire the banner]

Yup.

That game at Auburn when we scored 40 something straight points was a snoozer.

Yeah there were a few fun wins in there. But Joe Moorhead also had a few fun wins too

 

[vhdawg]

Madelon is a better college fight song than Hail State.

MMMMMMMadelon sounds like the Monty Python song Sit On My Face

 

[oh yeah]

M over S should be used for other sports , not just baseball.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

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.

We were asked what opinion we had that was not popular. If you think we had a successful baseball season, that's entirely up to you. I don't think we were a good hitting and base-running team, so I would have to say that we were short of where we usually aim to be at the season's end. Regarding our attaining a top 25 ranking, I would be stunned if we were not in the top 25 since the SEC was home to most of the teams at the World Series.

 

[kired]

SNL cowbell skit needs to be mostly retired… definitely not used every game.

If we’re getting our *** whooped, don’t play a 4th quarter hype song. Save it for the good games.

I don’t care what the logo is, but settle on one and be done. Quit trying to appease everyone. Can’t establish a brand if you change it all the time and use different ones for different sports.

I don't even think your opinion is unpopular. It's quite common here for people to think we were unsuccessful in baseball this year for some reason or other.

I just find it silly to consider a season that exceeds expectations and is better than almost every other team on campus, unsuccessful. And kinda depressing.

No offense intended. You have plenty of company.

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

Croom gets way too much credit.

Who in God's name are you hanging around that gives Croom too much credit? I haven't heard anyone say anything positive about him since August of 2008!

If you're talking about the media, that's all BS. They just act like he cleaned up the program so they can put a positive spin on their story on the first black HC in the SEC.

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

We essentially ran off the two best football coaches we ever had, McKeen and Mullen.

We didn't run Mullen off.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

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

True if Dak had a defense like that we would have won it all in 15 or 14 of course also having Mullen not moron

 

[msu6packspeak]

Baby Ruth is Better !!!

Do what? Nobody ran off Mullen.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Megan ran him out of Starkville. Walmart helped.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Disagree. At most things we are below average.

Ot just outright suck.

 

[Mr. Cook]

I hate "I've Got Friends in Low Places."

Cease and desist with all malice now and forever.

You better find a new board

 

[Mr. Cook]

That is definitely what the average six pack reader looks like

Next group looks like this:

 

[Mr. Cook]

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.

So why pay when we have SPSLeaks?*******

 

[Mr. Cook]

"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.

Agree. Should have optioned the name to Bryan Foods so we could have “Juicy Jumbo Stadium”******

 

[Mr. Cook]

I never thought Jerry Clower was funny.

Carpetbagger. You can’t be from Mississippi *********

 

[Mr. Cook]

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.

9/11

 

[Mr. Cook]

I will take this bet

I’ll double down with you

May not be the most disliked, but very well be the most disappointing

 

[Beretta.sixpack]

Our Marketing dept, both athletically and overall for the University, needs to completely overhauled. They are terrible at their jobs and need to be fired a la Trump style

We don't do enough to highlight NATIONAL CHAMPIONS at Dudy Nobel (take a look at UVA's stadium)

Whoever designs fan clothing needs a new career.

In case it hasn't been said, the State script is awful

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

The post was sponsored by Target.**

 

[bomanishus]

The food at Starkville Cafe is abominable.

(Starkville needs a good breakfast option downtown.)

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Dak was and will always be good, but not good enough. At the college or pro level.

 

[L4Dawg]

Do what? Nobody ran off Mullen.

We had plenty of people who wanted to.

 

[L4Dawg]

We didn't run Mullen off.

Plenty wanted to.

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

Plenty wanted to.

Oh, well yea, every fanbase has their fair share of idiots. I thought you meant the actual decision makers.

Following two seasons in which we missed Hoover twice and finished dead last and then next to last in the SEC, it was about as impossible to not exceed expectations this year as a season could possibly get. The bar has never been lower in the modern history of MSU baseball

All that said, between the addition of Parker and getting State baseball back into a regional, I do agree that the season should be considered a success on some level. Just not enough of one that it's improving goodwill for Lemonis by any significant amount

 

[Theconnormead]

Cowbells, at most times, are annoying AF

I hate cowbells! Started when I was really hungover at a game and super-fan beside me was ringing two of them the entire game.

It’s reasonable to find them occasionally annoying. But to say you “hate cowbells” is pretty suspect imo

I usually have a pretty good time in oxford.
