Grantland Say: Mullen to Cal at season's end...

[BiscuitEater]

All you have to do is read ...

He was raised in Florida.

But yeah, I'm sure he penned an entire piece on Grantland to push a "Rebel agenda" to get Mullen out of Starkville, you ****.

him mention it over and over and over

Texas at Ole Miss — I wish I were back down in old Oxford this weekend. ... All that unraveled pretty quickly, and the sober (if not in blood-alcohol content, at least in temperament) residents of the Grove have accepted the harsh physical law that Ole Miss will not be a factor in the SEC for a long time. And until someone rescues Dan Mullen[SUP] [/SUP]from Starkville, Ole Miss won't be a factor in its own state.

Please find and post 3 examples. Thanks.

WTF? This campaign hurts all of Mississippi? It's only received positive press nationally. The only people who don't like it are UM fans. Care to provide any links or evidence to support that statement?

Just three.

So you can't provide one single shred of evidence to support your statement that it hurts Mississppi.

it's not that i don't think they couldn't pay him with the new pac 12 $$, it's that i think we could match whatever they'd offer him. cal also has a history of not being extremely devoted to athletics. cal isn't usc or oregon or even washington when it comes to university support of athletics. i'd probably say out of the pac 12 schools, only colorado has less university support for the athletic programs.

i also think the pac 12 is about to be really good really fast. they are already the definitive #2 conference behind the sec. usc and oregon are their bama and lsu. but they have depth to the conference and a lot of promising new coaches hired with all that new tv money. mora has ucla looking very dangerous with a badass freshman QB. rich rod has arizona looking dangerous already. the new az st coach (graham i think?) just dominated illinois, and az st is a sleeping giant imo (big city lights, huge university, lots of untapped potential). leach will get things going at wazzou. sarkinsian has washington steadily getting back to being a regular bowl contender despite the lsu loss (lots of teams would get blown out in death valley at night after travelling cross country).

i guess what i'm saying is that the pac 12 isn't going to be so drastically easier than the sec in a few years that it's worth making a lateral move for the sake of hoepfully easing into a conference championship game every few years. especially at a university that history shows supports the athletic programs with less zeal than 11 of their 12 conference mates who are also coming into the same $$.

Good people of the Sixpack, we are going to have a GREAT football season. Dan Mullen's name is going to be tossed around way more than ever. Are we really going to copy and paste the musing of every swinging dick with an internet connection over hear for discussion on his next move? Grantland?! Who the 17 is this *** clown? Can we wait until ESPN comfirms or something? jeez...

A. Grantland is an ESPN entity.
B. If this board doesn't exist to discuss MSU relevant material, then I'm not really sure what it's for...
C. It's pretty clear the writer is dealing in conjecture, I just wanted to point out that this is a national site confirming what we already know to be true:
1. Mullen has dominated Ole Miss and is moving on to bigger fish
2. We have a coach that is garnering our program national attention
3. We've come a long way from the NCAA pariahs and NFL running back coaches of yesteryear

My statement is my opinion - that it promotes a disingenuous feeling of elitism and splits up an already battered state. That's my opinion. You stated there was an outpouring of national acclaim for the campaign, so I asked for some examples. So far you've failed to show me any.

The "Our State" campaign boils down to two things - huckster marketing tricks to incite MSU's base at the expense of a unified, collective confidence as Mississippians, but then also a question - in order for so many State fans and alums to buy in so quickly and then to espouse that crap so readily, what the hell did Ole Miss do to inspire such feelings? My answer is that decades upon decades of baseless elitism in Oxford and Jackson from the Rebel "elites" caused this anger. And if didn't cause it outright, it certainly stoked the **** out of it.

So what I'm saying is - yes, I loathe the concept of "owning" a state and the harm it causes. It's embarrassing, at least to me. But there's no reaction without an action, so my best theory is that all the "better than thou" ******** from Oxford caused this thing to spark into a fire.

7. In game action against his hapless in-state opponent, he has committed individual acts of perversion SO profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.

As an Ole Miss, I've been saying for year that we are misdirecting our funds.

For example, I was at the Secret Meeting of Bearz Fans last month where we all sit and twirl our mustaches and laugh evil laughs while lighting our Cohibas with $100 bills when this plan of taking down State was first laid out by Dan Jones, Archie Manning, and Leigh Ann Tuohy.

Like always, the plan involved upwards of 100 million dollars to take control of ESPN, Yahoo, the SEC offices, a booster from Georgia, an assistant coach from State, a 7-on-7 coach, various other blogs, and Twitter. I raised my hand and subtly suggested that we take the money we could use to take over the national media and instead pour it directly into our football program. For things like, I don't know...maybe better coaches, better facilities, and enlarged stadium...things like that.

But y'all know how power-mad evil genius Ole Miss fans are. Their monocles nearly fell into their brandy snifters when I suggested such a thing. They pointed out that pouring all that money and wielding all that power to help us actually compete in the SEC is a terrible plan. The much wiser thing is to just buy up all the media to take down State.

What I took from that: "rabble rabble rabble....I wouldn't have the same feelings if roles were reversed, I'm just mad that it's MSU's State.....rabbledy rabble rabble"

17 off.

Meet me at a hotdog stand in Starkville Steven. I want to slow clap when you getting your *** beat**

You have a 2 minute window to edit your post before "Last Edited By" shows up.

 

[patdog]

You really are being an even bigger asshat today than usual. Sorry for bringing the entire state down by breaking up the state of complete harmony that has always existed between MSU and UM fans. You're just ******** because our entire athletic dept is running circles around yours and has been for several years now.

 

[Godfrey]

When am I getting my *** beat?
