Considering that it's primarily men who spend money on college football, maybe that cash can be directed to other pursuits including on women and family activities especially since the emotional impact of being a State football fan takes a toll.

Yes because I have been on teams before and I know it's entered the mind of some of the players on the team. Race isn't nearly as much of a factor these days but to pretend it's not at all ever a tiny factor or thought. Come on.
So you are calling Creed Whittemore a racist huh? I don't agree with what he is doing but the race of his QB never entered my mind. Go back and watch E KY replay of his reverse TD. Looks like 4 black guys celebrating with him in the end zone to me afterward, not a white player in sight. You sir are an idiot

Creed was one of the few players that I knew by name before the season. I was really looking forward to seeing him play, but he rarely got to be on the field. When he did get a chance he performed at a level equal to or better than the ones getting all the playing time. And he was never CONFUSED about where he should line up.

For whatever reason, he understood this coaching staff had made up their minds not to play him, or to do so minimally. I think he is doing what is in his best interest. I wish him the best.

THIS times a gazillion. And I thought the same thing last year. He was completely underutilized talent.

I hope the next couple days we see hundreds more players do this. Maybe this will finally be the straw that broke the camel's back and cause something to change. I dunno who even has the power to change anything anymore though...is it the NCAA or the conferences themselves? Some circuit court judge somewhere? This **** ain't sustainable though and needs some regulations in place, pronto. I'll be watching NFL till then
Problem is, the majority won’t be able to do this. We only hear about the ones that do. The 20%.

Also, the majority of college football fans don’t keep up with recruiting, so they don’t really care about this sort of thing. They’ll just keep watching.

I had this conversation with a buddy before the season, but I don't give a 17 about college football anymore. I watch way more of the NFL last year and this year. It sucks that legislatures and the NCAA completely 17ed up a great sport, but at this point I've just moved on from it. It isn't really even a part of my Saturdays anymore. I'll occasionally turn on a game at night when everyone else is in bed, but I haven't watched a full college football game at all this year. Now Sundays are for church and football.
May want to give church a little more priority ***

College football is only dead at certain schools, the ones that haven't ever done **** for football. The schools that committed to it and did things correctly are benefitting.

Yep. Even at the lesser than SEC levels it's fun. I went to the Apple Cup in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and PO little Washington State with no conference and way less resources than us beat their much bigger in state rival. Throughout the whole game they were a blast and won me over as a fan.

When I go to friends houses we are watching Washington State, Boise State, and Oregon State games usually. They are fun and competitive games.

I can hardly find the energy to watch Mississippi State because we are so poorly coached this year and last. Those 3 schools have been through as many coaches as we have and just as much bullshìt in some ways in the last 5-10 years. They have less money and way less talent to find nearby. Yet they are finding a way to compete.

Leach was a desperation hire from Cohen and was by far the best we have made since Mullen. Outside of that you have had multiple AD's hire crap coaches.

Lebby sucks. There's no way around it. You don't get railroaded by Toledo and give up 300 yards rushing to a guy that will be teaching middle school PE next year if you know how to coach. You go tell the mother17ing DC to put a 7th or even 8th man in the 17ing box. He ran the QB like a rented mule and broke him. He hired an idiot at DC. And he can't grow a real 17ing beard or shave every day. Pick one àsshole.

17 selmon. 17 Lebby. And 17 Keenum. This isn't about a lack of resources. It's about pìss poor leadership.

Imagine if Napier had taken the offer, then we wouldn't even have the decent Leach years to look back on.

I’m dumping YTTV. I was barely hanging on for the sports channels and my level of caring is basically zero. Last night I was channel surfing and there is nothing to watch worth a damn. And 70% of the time I change channels there is damn commercial on. I basically watch Netflix and a couple of other services. I’ll spend that $80 on ad free content. Rant is over…back to your regular 6pack content. 🫤
Exactly the same for me.

Instead of we got so many out for Covid, ala 2020 and can't play, now we got 20 players sitting due to NIL funds coming in the near future.

This honestly might do it for me. This really isnt fun anymore. In the past i would have been livid we were this terrible and Ole miss was this good. I honestly don’t care. This is just idiotic.

Even if state got a donation of epic proportions and went out and bought the best team ever for next year, who cares? It would honestly feel empty. I really dont like this at all.
Same for me. All my give a damn is gone. I just don't care anymore.

Joe Judge......Cohen wanted to hire freaking Joe Judge. Judge, Napier, ....of course we had the chance to get Sark and our leader poo poo'd that. Same leader who hired Arnett out of panic.

The only thing worth watching YouTube on is the quad screen on Saturday. It lets you keep up with four college football games at the same time. I'm having a huge problem with the screen freezing when none of the other apps I use have the same issue. I'm thinking about trying Hulu Plus this weekend. I have one-gigabyte speed, so it's not my Internet speed. I even tried a complete factory reinstall.

Great post. you will never find a Texas tech or Washington State fan who will say a bad word about Mike Leach.

i think it’s kind of a shame the way Leach was treated while he was here.

I can barely find 1 game worth watching and you are tuning in to 4?

Exactly. All these people have blinders on. College football is thriving at most of the schools we compete with. Our fans don't care, their fans do.

I can’t be the only person who didn’t like the fact that we are supposed to be excited that we got a big donation that we would use to buy players, right? That’s what we cheer for now??
Touché. It’s taken a few years but I’m totally checked out. From Moorhead, Cohen our lack of marketing and the end result is apathy. On the surface, we are years behind the other schools in the league. NIL is all bad all the way around. Nothing will make it better, or bring any integrity to the game we love. NFL is my preferred choice now. Hard to say,but so true.

Makes you wonder if the NCAA had just decided to let playerds have a job or get paid for promotional events, if we would be here now. Let Johnny Manziel make that money off autograpghs. Let Fant have some tires. Stuff like that. I think it wouldn't have gotten to this point, but you never know.
