marketing director at DSU, informing him that the advertisements placed in newspapers about DSU being #1 were "offensive." Gann told him he had permission from Dr. Hilpert to place the ads, that there would be more. Gann told him if he couldn't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Gann is an MSU grad.

Jones was a horrible hire. We are quite fortunate to have Keenum and the spawn of ninja at the till.

[/waiting for ninja lite to face down his first big challenge to make a final decision on him, which will probably come around this spring once the dumpster erupts].

Don't they teach that in the marketing school at OM?

I kind'a like the DSU ads, even though they poke at us too.

To criticize, they should have used a THIS IS OUR DELTA campaign.

go to church together and are drinking buddies. He said Gann loves that they've gotten under their skin. Of course, my dad's loving it too.

I would think they have more important things to do than to get all wound up about the schools that are not LSU. </p>

Why would Chancellor Jones at UM even give a **** that the marketing director at DSU placed advertisements in newspapers about DSU being #1?

I can see why Jones would take offense. He should have ignored it though.

edit: left out words, twice

That said, the DSU marketing director is a piece of **** for running that ad. I don't care who's dad's drinking buddy he is or where he graduated. Way to draw attention to the fact that no matter how good Delta State might do, MSU and UM are still the only programs that really matter in this state (and to a lesser extent USM).

...it looked like something from The Onion website.


Jones getting offended at that foolishness is like Stansbury getting offended @ coach34's posts here.

Wow. I thought it was just something somebody slapped together for a stupid email chain. The Forward Rebels ad campaign looks more legitimate than the DSU ad.
