Cohen is probably not helping us.....

[DawgatAuburn]

with quotes like these.


“South Carolina has a real scrappy ballclub and they are going to come out ready to play Friday night,” Cohen said. “We had a nice crowd Thursday night but we really need a huge crowd on Friday night. There is nothing better to do in Starkville. So we need our people to come out and fill up the stadium."

It's probably true, but it reinforces the "last outpost" crowd.

I think you are misinterpreting that statement. I take it as there is nothing better than a big game at the dude on Friday night....not a knock at Starkville.

 

[MagnificentBastard]

What is there better to do in Starkville tonight?

 

[MSU124]

He didn't say there is nothing to do in starkville, but nothing BETTER to do in starkville.

 

[starkvegasdawg]

Maybe he meant it better than it sounded. Something like, "there's nothing better than a game at dudy noble field on a Friday night."

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

I would've said, "If you aren't at Dudy Noble tonight, you're a typical Starkville townie who hates our university and wants to set our town and university back 50 years, back to the days we were an isolated outpost of ignorance."...but that's just me.

 

[klong-dog]

I was listening to post game when he said that...

After the "not anything better to do in Starkville comment", he said "or in Mississippi, for that matter" it makes you feel any better.

 

[PBRME]

What is there better to do in Starkville tonight?

Stand in line at Cowbells all night and never get in?

 

[AlCoDog]

He added "or Mississippi" immediately after that.
