A quick shout out to my peeps at the pork palace !!!! ....

Looks like it's your day to monitor the ******** on 6 pack. Grats.

I realize you're probably toward the bottom of **** hill with very little power, control or authority, but you can still make a difference today. Tell to whomever you report that it appears a sizable minority of the plugged in MState fan base is ready for Stansbury to be "encouraged" to take that Associate AD for Childcare position.

K Thanks Bye.

[dawgstudent]

for the tourney and we will never be. So I don't want us to lose ever in basketball.

 

[Shmuley]

But, honestly, the decision that it's time ... at least for me and probably many others ... has much less to do with on-the-floor results than it does the off-the-floor garbage.

It's simply time to move him to the AD office. Period.

[Shmuley]

where do you stand on this point: Instead of "hoping" for losses to speed up the change, can you accept the behavior of simply ignoring the basketball team completely? I think some of us find ourselves unplugged and disengaged. I find myself unaware of when we play and who we play until I see the prediction thread. I've watched one game from start to finish this year (Ole Miss). The few others I maybe watched a total of 10 minutes of action. Are you OK with active disengagement as opposed to active "negative rooting?"

 

[dawgstudent]

and I like watching it live more than college football. I just can't become disengaged because we always have a shot at the tourney with the SEC tournament. I wasn't even disengaged in the last few games of Croom but I was rooting for 60+ once we started getting whipped by Ole Miss.

You can do whatever you want.

 

[tenureplan]

as trying to watch that men's softball team we've been fielding for the past 3 years.

 

[Hanmudog]

Way too early to start rooting for losses. I have shifted my expectations for this team way down because the team we have now (what is left of it anyway) is not the team we expected to have. At this point, I would not be happy with it but Iwould take an NIT bid and 17-18 wins. I would still want a coaching change but itbeats the hell out of being 13-17 and watching everyone else play in some form of post season.

 

[GloryDawg]

he made a comment that it was bad if we got to the NCAA this year. He said it would be embarrassing to go and lose the first game. "I called him a dumb *** and asked, not going is better then going?" Even if Stans leaves we still got to have a signing class. One and done is always better then none. At lest you can say to the recruits that we got to the NCAA tourney. As I have stated, I don't care about Stans one way or another I just want to win.

an NIT bid to make the sheep all giddy and say "look, we were just a couple of wins away from making the NCAA's- the basketball program is fine!!!!!"

 

[tenureplan]

I couldn't even do it during the Croom years, just had to stop watching.

 

[Johnson85]

I just can't muster any animosity for the guy. The only thing he's done that is unexcusable is refusing to hire an assistant coach to mask his weak areas (and even then, I'm not sure he's not budget constrained). I'll forgive somebody for pride if they're not fat and lazy. I'm really hoping we manage to transition from Stansbury in a way that leaves no hard feelings.

What part of that did you not get? I don't sit around praying for losses like you do. I want to win as many as we can. It does not make it easy for whoever is coaching to bring in a good classfor 2013 whenwe are a sub .500 team. Of course, theJohnson and Pelphrey have plenty of experience bringing in good classes in spite of sucking so I guess we can take notes from them.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

If you're #1 concern is MSU winning and being all it can be, you never pull against us. Even if you don't like the coach and think we could do better, you still should be hoping you are ultimately proven wrong. Because the best thing for MSU is for the current coach of whatever sport to get their act together and win.

If, however, your primary concern is to be 'right' about the coach you have been deriding for years, then yes, you pull for MSU to lose. Because MSU losing and the effect it has on the players, coaches, students, alumni, history, etc. is no comparison to the worth you place in being able to say "I told you so!".

I think we win this one tonight.... The RSS and Kodi need to hit the boards and stay out of foul trouble...

that is still functional. You can see the problem and you know it's not going to get fixed until changes are made. And you are going to keep repeating the same pattern over and over until something bad happens and change is forced by an outside source.

You can either root for them to keep it together enough to keep the status quo or you can just say it's time for them to bottom out so the healing can begin.

I too think it's time, but I just have to be honest with myself about my own fanhood. And it goes a little something like this:
[list type=decimal]
[*]After game loss, publically call for Stans head. After game win, be silently glad we won, but publically bemoan the continued lack of fundamentals / off-the-court drama / lack of any discernible coaching by Stans
[*]Next game comes on tv. Still watch. Can't help it. It's State on the television. I'm like a damn 80 year old man. It's still magic to me when that happens. Maybe being raised listening to broadcasts on the radio over half my life is probablypart of that.
[*]But I digress. Beers get drunk. I get emotionally involved in the game. I can't help it. I emit primal roars with monster put-back jams. I slap my forehead viciously when Ray-ray heaves a fade-away 55 ft three-ball with nobody under the goal 2 seconds into the shot clock. I hate the way we play. I hate the undearned prima donna attitudes.
[*]But I'm a dog fan. Nothing I can do about it. The rest will take care of itself.[/list]

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

If it's someone you care about, you hope they can turn their life around without hitting rock bottom. Because hitting rock bottom is something that would be painful to everyone involved. From the kids (players) to the family (alumni) and friends (fans), hitting rock bottom is something nobody is rooting for.

But to the dickhead "brother-in-law" that has hated the guy from day one, he just roots for the worst to happen so everyone can see he was right all along. He says things like "I hope that sumbitch gets in a car wreck and kills someone, that'll put him in his place. And then everyone will see just how right I was about that POS." Who cares that the kids won't have a father. Who cares that the family will have to sell their house to pay legal bills. It's all about being right.

watching our game aGAINST LSU Saturday was absolute torture but at the same time, we won.

Nailed it perfectly.

you are the husband that continues to ignore what is going on and hopes the problem fixes itself.

Maybe you are the brother in law that drove the sumbitch to drinking with your constant nagging about how she should have married the guy up the street who is just as a big a loser but whom you are drinking buddies with. However, when that guy dies, you just find a new loser that you think is a better fit for her.

I have lost track of what the 17 I am even talking about.

Well isn't that special. Go fix yourself or I'm out. Just don't ask me for an assist because I've got **** on the internet I have to post over and over.

veered off into bolivia.

We've gone from a quick shout out to the pork palace peeps, to the unholiest of unholy ménage à trois.

 

[bendog]

is a hilarious new take on the same ol' pissing match.

 

[tenureplan]

If you don't fix yourself to my liking I am going to ***** about you incessantly to your and my friends and then go make 1000 posts about you on the internet.</p>
