It is really disrespectful to what the coaches and team has accomplished this year. Bonner showed he is nothing more than a talentless troll.
I dont think its Bonner. His online header is different than that one. Most likely Hugh or Sam.
Yep, writers usually don't get to write the headline. I think Bonner is definitely innocent here.
That is 17ing absurd.
I would have liked to buy a copy as a momento and to hang in my office, but NO WAY IN HELL do I buy that garbage. Is this real life? They may as well change the paper's name to the OM Gazette.

It really pisses me off, because I like to buy papers from historical MSU moments and save them (frame some of the good ones), etc. Kellenburger just totally slapped that accomplishment in the MSU fans' faces, which is totally unprofessional. Very tacky, and if done in an attempt at humor, it was very poor timing and in poor taste. I hope that 17ing place goes bankrupt.
Starkville Daily News had a good one as well. When State was #1 - I called their office and they mailed me a few for few dollars/paper

^^ absolutely this. I can't believe you folks down there cut a check to have that rag delivered. Do you like cutting yourselves too?
It's become damn near impossible to think it's not intentional. No matter how much you try to give them the benefit of the doubt, they're just going to push it that much more. Fact is, we didn't need any damn help at all to win an SEC title. We only needed help to get a #1 seed in Hoover, and really, #1 - #4 are all about the same anyway so who cares.
I don't subscribe to their paper, nor will I. But a few weeks ago I just got tired of the bull and unfollowed all their guys on Twitter. I'm not even going to oblige them with clicks. Robby, Bob, etc... all have great coverage of State. I would encourage everyone else to do the same.
I was going to start a thread last night for predicting the headline. Really wish I had now to see who would have come the closest.
If anybody here is dumb enough to own gannet company stock, they should file a shareholder derivatives suit. I'm sure clarion ledger is probably a small paper for them, but local and state sports is one of the few things that can still sell papers, and the clarion ledger uses them to antagonize half their target market. I don't really care as a state fan; I don't need the clarion ledger. But it pisses me off to see employees purposefully waste owners' money. Show some gratitude to the people willing to pay your dumbass in a dying and unprofitable industry.
Bonner is good at what he does, plus he's a pretty good guy from my experiences around him.
As far as the headline itself, I sent the picture to someone in the program and asked what they thought. One word response: "Awful."
That's what makes no sense to me.
They're alienating 1/2 of their small market, in a dying field. It's just extremely dumb. If I were upper management, I'd fire whoever did that.
