Great Times

[Dawgcap]

Love this school! Gave my kids opportunities to see other places but they have no doubts they bleed maroon! Daughter is an upcoming senior and my son has said he is Starkville bound after his upcoming senior year.
They love and expect great things being a State fan. I’ve told them about the guaranteed heartbreak but they only see the possibilities. I never saw those possibilities and am proud to see State through my children’s eyes.
See they realize we are in the greatest conference in all sports and the best division of 7 teams ever. I tell them our facilities and academics are amazing and improving!
Now to my point, we have athletes that have come to this school to compete and to win! Will we always win big in conference? No will we trust our coaches? Probably not. But one thing is that our athletes want to win way more than you or me ever will. If not it will show but I know that I’m proud of the guys and girls that represent this school.
I’m actually proud my kids aren’t SEC level athletes cause it would piss me off the hate some receive. Remember they donned the Maroon and White cause they believe in this school. Time to believe in them!

I think it's absurd to say that all of our players want to win way more than we do. For your Daks, Anthony Dixon's and Varnados you are probably right. But many see us as nothing more than a means to an end. And that's ok. Not questioning any of their effort but it's a mutually beneficial agreement. We use them for entertainment and they use us to try and go pro. Other than I agree, hail state and I'll bleed maroon til the day I die.

I find myself agreeing with you more often than not, well said.

Players want to win as much as fans & vice versa, the difference is the players get over it sooner. Your diehard fans(sixpackspeak) let it linger.

Ouch! And great reply! We do have many that use us for their benefits but my point is we have talented athletes who love the school. You do need both! I stand corrected

It depends on perspective

Our student athletes could easily accuse us of the same. Aren't we using them to achieve our dreams of winning championships? Personally, I believe the majority of ours feel like MSU is a family. Who wants to let the family down? Sure, there are exceptions but they usually leave before their senior year.
