It takes a special person to completely ignore the fact that he won't even read it. Your flames are doing nothing but heating up an already boiling pot full of Cam Newton. The fact of the matter is we are going bowling for the third time thismillennium, and you should be happy. If we get screwed out of our deserved bowl, it's not even his fault. Its not his job to pick which team goes to which bowl. With our past year with the atmosphere/ results on the field, we have already achieved something we couldn't since 1999. Also, telling the music city bowl to shove it going to do nothing but have us sittingidlinghere in Starkville Mississippi. The distance between out bowl game and our conference director has nothing to do with our performance, reward, or atmosphere. Also, the spelling of Birmingham is irrelevant to anything going on right now. If it does, then my bad. "Scott is on a trial run" is a completesentencewith no punctuation and is therefore improper grammar. Also, your rant has no 'second of all'.</span></font>
I think some people just have a little Greg Byrne Hangover. he is a once in decadeA.D. he knew how to play his cards.
To him and RBdog at least I don't edit my post everytime. Was I too harsh? Sure, but hey get over it most of what I said is true. Please show me the updates because I missed them. Hell I think the entire board missed them. On Scott I've seen him speak twice this year and stayed after to shake his hand both times. We are both from Jackson and both Prep grads so I do support him and was a fan of the hire. I became a bulldog club member when I was 21 so I do my part. I sent him a email with a copy of my post. I hope he gets back to me.
Byrne was just excellent. Now, the bar was set about as low as possible since The Ninja followed a complete and total loser in Larry Turd Templeton. Still, Greg Byrne did a phenomenal job for us. Now Stricklin has big shoes to fill, shoes he may never be able to fill. I myself have not been impressed with him this week. I know it is beyond his control, but if State does fall to the Music city Bowl, it will reflect very poorly on Stricklin. If that happens and we lose Dan Mullen too, well, Stricklin might as well "pack up his bags and get out of town with Stansbury".msstatefan95 said:

If you've been sitting on the edge of your seat because you're paranoid we're going to lose our coach based on baseless rumors, that's your fault. You're an idiot.<div>Danhandled5 said:

I don't have any part in this DS!!! A few good points and more bad ones. I agree with burning Slive alive, but stricklin is probably working some magicc behind the scenes. I do agree that our AD should be fighting for this fanbase but how do we know he's not??? I'm confident.
Say what? You have got to be on something...this whole week has been a feather in the cap of our AD..
didn't sweep the leg so to speak but we avoided being in complete meltdown mode.Very excited and thankful to be in Jacksonville. Situations like these I really wish we could hear the entire story of how it all played out. Who blew who and what we promised people. Obviously Dan sounds happy here. Interested in hearing the details on how we plan to keep him happy along with most of the staff. The key to keeping Mullen is not how much we pay him personally. He's young has plenty of time to grow his fortune and he knows that. It's how much money we can pump into the football program as a whole. He wants a major face lift and of course the endzone addition to the stadium but also wants a building dedicated completely to football. The figure Scott needs to raise is around $90 million.... Just for football. I believe he has secured $15 million from the Seals (thought it would be more but this is what he told my uncle at lunch last week) and is working on the other 75. We'll see, but if you think that a Gator Bowl and some coach speak would change my views in 24 hours about the Mullen rumors and Slive you're wrong. I was harsh maybe too harsh but look at what we were facing. I was royally pissed and it'll come back if its freezing cold in Jacksonville and I'm not in a 17ing dome. Pray for good weather and happy boosters grasshopper....<div>
