That again was Keenum bonehead move to listen to the cigar boys that loved cohen because they would get everything they wanted with him
Our administration better wake up

Perhaps. Leach didn't like the current state of football either. We will never know but we were going to have a down 24 year with him having to reload.
My point was we need to make football and basketball places to be as well. It’s more than just what’s happening on the field. I think Selmon understands this but it’s going to take a lot of work to reprogram State fans who have spend the last decade not caring about basketball.
Exactly. We sorely missed a business side ad for years after Stricklin left
I was as much of an Air Raid advocate as anyone. But you simply cannot ignore that our recruiting sucked under Leach. In 2023 we were still leaning heavily on guys recruited by Joe Moorhead and in some cases Dan Mullen. Now those guys are gone. 2024 would’ve been a big rebuild with Leach, too.
I know I just think it would have been 4-8 type reload. Maybe not.
I think the defensive drop off was going to happen anyway when all the Covid year guys left
Been here before and it never ends the way Ole Miss wants it too. Everyone is looking at Ole Miss next season. They better not take their eyes off of A&M. They have a loaded roster, a coach that will win and a fairly easy schedule next season. Bama and us got screwed on scheduling.
Never as bad as you think. Our crootin was fine, Leach knew what a D1 player looked like, it’s not really debatable.
Exactly. What has been done with the baseball weekend experience needs to be replicated for football & baskeball. We have thug brawls occurring outside our football stadium, while the in-game experience is like watching Hulu with ads.
I don’t know how one can look at the 2021 and 2022 classes, watch this roster on both sides of the ball in 2023, and say our recruiting was fine.
The students that the schools overlap on are what? Because that's the students we are losing. I cannot imagine going to either usm or OM for ChE (not that i would have). If I were business/law and could stomach being a douche, I'd have considered oxford.
No one of us have ever been here before. The rules in college sports have changed dramatically. One school in the state has embraced those changes. Others have not.
Don't fool yourself. They are still cheating, probably worse than before. They can launder a whole lot of illicit funds within the guise of the NIL since they have lawyers on the payroll. When it comes to lying, cheating and stealing The Flagship wrote the book on "How to cheat in plain sight"
We have plenty of 8-4 talent. We had 2-10 coaches. Bc Arnettz wanted to rUn Da BaWl
We were headed for a total disaster with this year’s class until Lebby came in a did a salvage job just to get it comparable to our historical average. And even now it’s still a pretty weak class defensively.
Yep. I'm beginning to think putting your name in the top of each subject matter gets you to 20 on the ACT and any questions you answer after that are graded on a curve. Either that or all ACT test are now only covering what you learned through the 6th grade, which as we all know even Jethro Bodine gadiated from.
I'm my day we had 4.0 straight A for 4 years of high school kids making 19-23 on the ACT. So of course they went on up yonder to Ol Miss and got that MRS. Degree!
To quote Burgess Meredith, “You can hope in one hand and CRAP in the other and see which one fills up first”.
I am talking about when they were buying all those guys when Freeze was there. We were basically saying the same thing.
There is a single common denominator here that’s tied to each shortcoming we have and is tied to why we’re where we are.
Keenum.
Keenum.
Naw. I like the volleyball shorts better than the soccer shorts. We do need to spend some money on women's pole vaulting though. They wear sport appropriate clothing. 
Arnett was definitely a problem but our recruiting problems didn’t just start after Leach passed away.
Again the admin wasted money on what they did to the basketball facilities. The most prominent basketball program of the past 25 years plays in essentially a dump called Cameron Indoor Stadium. The main level for basketball has to be reserved for the students! They are the ones that make it go! The money fans go to watch the game but they aren't going make the environment. It ain't about concourse or nice concessions for basketball. It is about FAN experience and participation. The students need to have the lower half of the lower bowl. Actually there should not be two levels for basketball arenas ever. One level floor to ceiling with a narrow walkway between the back row of the standing students and the first row of sitting ticket holders.
I’ve never really heard any State fan that actually has this “mindset”. Well, actually, I have now heard of one person with this “mindset” after reading your post.
That one man has done more than the heavy lifting on basketball. Frankly we can’t keep asking him to donate for every facility
I hate our fans. Especially you.
Keenum was the savior in 2009. What changed? Not a damn thing.
I mean he hired a baseball coach to be athletic director. That’s squarely on him. We could’ve hired any number of people that were actually qualified but we instead gave the job to the baseball coach.
Yeah man forget the first 8 years. And obviously somebody saw something in Cohen, he’s at Auburn.
I’m not going to discuss details but Keenum’s office has more input on things than most think.
Yes, we were successful, and then we weren’t. Byrne and Stricklin were very good for us. Cohen was not. Auburn hiring Cohen was completely stupid and he’s not popular there, either.
Dumping money into a sport that Football pays for that may only exist as club status in the future isn’t very smart.
I would expect that the President of MSU or any major university would. Why would it be otherwise?
You know that used to sell out very early. I went to the Bowling Green game this year and was able to pick up a wheel after the game. Must have increased production, they had about 30 of them in there
