WHEREAS, on the afternoon and early evening hours of December 29, 2007, at the 49th annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, before almost 64,000 vociferous football fans, a new Liberty Bowl record, Coach Sylvester Croom led his Bulldogs of Mississippi State University to victory over Conference USA Champions, the Knights of the University of Central Florida; and WHEREAS, the 10-3 win over Central Florida propelled the Bulldogs to an 8-5 overall record for the 2007 football season, a season in which the team scored impressive victories over other Southeastern Conference powerhouses, including Alabama, Auburn and the highly ranked Kentucky Wildcats; and WHEREAS, the Liberty Bowl victory was an especially sweet finish to a season which began with a disappointing shut-out loss to another Southeastern Conference team that went on to earn the title of National BCS Champion, but which season culminated in a Mississippi State defeat over its arch-rival, Ole Miss, in a late fourth quarter comeback to return the coveted Golden Egg back to Starkville and which virtually assured the team of its first post-season bowl bid since 2000; and WHEREAS, while each and every player on the Bulldog football team made a significant contribution to the team's successful triumph at Liberty Bowl 49, two players received special honors, with Derek Pegues being named the Game Most Valuable Player and also Defensive Most Valuable Player, and with Anthony Dixon being named Offensive Most Valuable Player; and WHEREAS, when Coach Croom began as head football coach at MSU in 2004, he inherited a team that had endured six straight losing seasons and he was faced with the awesome challenge of rebuilding a football program while having to install new offensive and defensive systems with a new coaching staff; and WHEREAS, Coach Croom accepted the challenge of reconstructing the Bulldog program and eventually, through his attention to detail, enthusiasm, energy and demand for discipline, both on and off the field, succeeded in building a team that earned the school's best results in six years; and WHEREAS, a native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Coach Croom starred at Tuscaloosa High School as a line backer and tight end, played those same positions before settling in at center for legendary Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant at the University of Alabama, where in 1974 he was a senior captain, earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and, like his father years earlier, earned Kodak All-American honors; and WHEREAS, after playing one season for the New Orleans Saints, Coach Croom has amassed 29 years in the coaching profession, including 11 years as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama and 17 years coaching at the professional level at Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, San Diego and Green Bay; and WHEREAS, as a result of his outstanding success in turning his team around and putting them in the winning column this past season, on December 4, 2007, Coach Croom was named Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association, Region Two, and again on December 5, 2007, was named SEC Coach of the Year twice, once as voted by the other SEC coaches and once as voted by the Associated Press; and WHEREAS, while taking great pride in his African-American heritage, Coach Croom has consistently downplayed the personal significance of his status as the first African American to be the head coach of a Southeastern Conference football team, stating notably at a press conference upon his acceptance of the position, "I am the first African-American coach in the SEC, but there ain't but one color that matters here, and that color is maroon"; and WHEREAS, it is with great pride that we recognize the accomplishments and success of the Mississippi State Bulldogs and their coach, who have brought great honor to their university, their fans and the State of Mississippi: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, THE SENATE CONCURRING THEREIN, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the Mississippi State University Bulldogs Football Team and Coach Sylvester Croom for their impressive 2007 winning season and Liberty Bowl victory, and wish them continued success in future seasons.

They probably give resolutions to the girl scout troop that sells the most cookies. Relax. This kind of thing happens all of the time.

vhdawg · Apr 3, 2008

....the House and Senate pass out resolutions for anything good that happens or for anyone that turns 100 or dies.

HamilReb · Apr 3, 2008

at Newton Academy. Yeah, Coyte Vance(ex state baller) was the coach. Anybody that followed him knows he had some damn good teams at UC in the mid 90's.

SanfordRJones · Apr 3, 2008

The alternative is passing a bunch of laws.

My father served a long, long time in state government. He was well-respected and they did a resolution for him when he retired.

patdog · Apr 3, 2008

They couldn't even get the damn resolution right.

"WHEREAS, when Coach Croom began as head football coach at MSU in 2004, he inherited a team that had endured six straight losing seasons and he was faced with the awesome challenge of rebuilding a football program while having to install new offensive and defensive systems with a new coaching staff; and"

We had losing seasons in 1998-2000? That's news to me.

Stormrider81 · Apr 4, 2008

By far these kinds of resolutions are the most things passed. You'll see common sense bills die in committee while crap like this passes. Our State Legislature is practically worthless. One of them recently introduced a bill that would have forbid restaurants serving obese people. When asked about it the legislator said he just wanted to do something about obesity, to help bring the problem to light. By introducing a bill that is unconstitutional and inpractical?

SixPackSpeak.yuku.com 2008 Regular Session To: Nobody in particular. By: The Entire Membership <h1 style="MARGIN: auto 0in; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center">Resolution by the Pack and Hell, even Coach34</h1> <h2 style="MARGIN: auto 0in; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center">(As Adopted by a bunch of bitching fans)</h2> A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING THE MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY BULLDOGS FOOTBALL TEAM AND ITS COACH, SYLVESTER CROOM, FOR THEIR IMPRESSIVE 2007 SEASON AND FOR THEIR LIBERTY BOWL VICTORY AND TO VOICE OUR OPINION CONCERNING INCREASING A OC'S SALARY BY OVER 37% WHO HASN'T SHOWN THAT HE CAN COACH HIS WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG. WHEREAS, on the afternoon and early evening hours of December 29, 2007, at the 49th annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, before almost 64,000 vociferous football fans, a new Liberty Bowl record, Coach Sylvester Croom led his Bulldogs of Mississippi State University to a boring as hell victory over Conference USA Champions, the Knights of the University of Central Florida due to the fact that our offensive scheme sucks frog nuts and hasn't broken 100 nationally since Croom arrived; and WHEREAS, the 10-3 win over Central Florida propelled the Bulldogs to an 8-5 overall record for the 2007 football season, a season in which the team barely scored and was still able to pull out victories over other Southeastern Conference powerhouses, including Alabama, Auburn and the highly ranked Kentucky Wildcats; and WHEREAS, the Liberty Bowl victory was an especially sweet finish to a season which began with a disappointing shut-out loss to another Southeastern Conference team that went on to earn the title of National BCS Champion because someone didn't know how to pull a quarterback out of a game after 5 interceptions and had to wait for 6 to understand that the little bastard should be washing jocks, but which season culminated in a Mississippi State defeat over its arch-rival, Ole Miss, in which MSU pulled a miracle out of its *** in a late fourth quarter comeback to return the coveted Golden Egg back to Starkville and which virtually assured the team of its first post-season bowl bid since 2000; and WHEREAS, while each and every player on the Bulldog football team made a significant contribution to the team's successful triumph at Liberty Bowl 49 except the short broken QB from the aforementioned game with LSU because he broke more bones later in the season and proved to be a complete waste of freaking time and air (lets face it, I've seen pubic hairs on the local Exxon's toilet that had more ability than he did), two players received special honors, with Derek Pegues being named the Game Most Valuable Player and also Defensive Most Valuable Player who by the way along with his fellow backs saved the offense's collective asses on more than one occasion throughout the year, and with Anthony I'm scared to go up the middle and I thing that I'm faster than I really am Dixon being named Offensive Most Valuable Player; and WHEREAS, when Coach Croom began as head football coach at MSU in 2004, he inherited a team that had endured 3 straight losing seasons and he was faced with the challenge of rebuilding a football program while having to install new offensive and defensive systems with a new coaching staff……unfortunately, we're still waiting on the offensive system and staff to appear because hiring your buddy to sit in a chair and pretend to know what the hell he is doing is not a damn OC and the crap you've been calling sure as hell isn't a system!!!!!!; and WHEREAS, Coach Croom accepted the challenge of reconstructing the Bulldog program and eventually, through his big *** mouth succeeded in making some really dumbass statements such as "You won't see my players in the papers!" which we have and the infamous "I don't care what the fans think" (which was pure d gold Jerry) but he did finally pull his head out of his arse and finally succeeded in having or completely stumbled into a winning season. We really aren't sure which yet; and WHEREAS, we are constantly reminded every time we turn on the TV, read the damn newspaper, or look on the internet that as a native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Coach Croom starred at Tuscaloosa High School as a line backer and tight end, played those same positions before settling in at center for legendary Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, the second coming of Jesus to the annoying mullet headed fans at the University of Alabama, where in 1974 he was a senior captain, earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and, like his father years earlier, earned Kodak All-American honors blah de freaking blah blah; and WHEREAS, after playing one season for the New Orleans Saints which was probably what jinxed his *** for life, Coach Croom has amassed 29 years in the coaching profession, including 11 years as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama and 17 years coaching at the professional level at Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, San Diego and Green Bay and really if you look at the list of NFL teams and when he was there, they lost and lost a lot most of his time there; and WHEREAS, as a result of his outstanding success in turning his team around and putting them in the winning column this past season which we still aren't convinced wasn't a fluke and due more to the DC that left for greener pastures, on December 4, 2007, Coach Croom was named Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association, Region Two, and again on December 5, 2007, was named SEC Coach of the Year twice, which we figure was a ploy by the other coaches to keep his *** here longer so they can dominate our asses for a little while longer; and WHEREAS, while taking great pride in his African-American heritage, Coach Croom has consistently downplayed the personal significance of his status as the first African American to be the head coach of a Southeastern Conference football team, stating notably at a press conference upon his acceptance of the position, "I am the first African-American coach in the SEC, but there ain't but one color that matters here, and that color is maroon" and we agree with this and do believe that he is a man of great character, unfortunmately character doesn't come with the ability to coach a football team; and WHEREAS, it is with great frustration that we recognize the Mississippi State Bulldogs and their coach, who have brought great confusion and a hell of a lot of fights on this board and others between their fans and the State of Mississippi as a whole: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SIXPACK THEREIN, That we do hereby state to the Mississippi State University Bulldogs Football Team and Coach Sylvester Croom, "You guys won 8 games this past season which includes a Liberty Bowl victory, and we are really glad that you guys came together as a team, but don't think that for one minute you get a pass next year from our bitching if you keep putting the same piss poor offense on the field. We will scream and beg to the athletic department to get your *** gone if you keep it up with your offense because your defense will not save your *** every year. Saying that, we congratulate you on the 07-08 season. Please don't screw it up next year. GO BULLDOGS! BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be furnished to the MSU Bulldog Football Team, Coach Sylvester Croom, Athletic Director Larry Templeton, Mississippi State University President Robert H. Foglesong, the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning and to the members of the Capitol Press Corps.

I rarely read stuff that long, much less write it. I just thought it may get a laugh.

dawgpound11 · Apr 4, 2008

That was pretty damn funny.

jackbaddawg · Apr 4, 2008

players regularly for guns & how he was winning only 3 damn games a season his first 3 years & how we lost to Maine, Tulane, etc. etc. etc.& that his players names have been in the newspapers just as much as Jackie's players & that the best offense is a defense that can pick off passes & run them for TD's ?( otherwise, we would'nt have even made it to a winning season in 07)
