I don't get the splicing the videos together thing...

[PONYfun]

Does everyone think that when Mullen said "we practice what we preach" he meant anything about Christianity or morality? Because it seems to me that the context it was meant in was one of "we do what we say." I thought he used practice what we preach as a metaphor. So why does us "practicing what we preach" have to do with our players getting hyped before a game? It doesn't make sense to me. Am I the one off here? <div>
</div><div>Edit: I havent the seen the full video of what he says, only the spliced together video.</div>

It's a lot like when we hired Jackie. It's like they're terrified of MSU having a decent football program or a good coach. They're so obsessed with us that their own program has just self destructed.</p>

 

[RocketDawg]

No, I don't think he meant any religious disrespect for Hugh Freeze. It's merely an expression that's been around forever, meaning as you said ... do as you say.

 

[RocketDawg]

I doubt he'd be depressed since he has no interest in such things. He probably would think it was disgusting.

Here we are less than a week past signing day and they're already mid-season bat **** crazy. Wait until the season actually gets here and they get a good dose of the reality of just how bad they actually do suck. This is only going to get better. And while we as fans are enjoying this melt down I hope the powers that be are taking steps to cover our ***. We all remember what they did to JWS. They're way beyond that point of desperation right now. This **** is going to get real interesting.

I've said repeatedly, I hope Stricklin, Mullen, & Co. have talked to JWS and understand exactly what is coming their way. The Bears can't tolerate it when our program has signs of hope. They will not allow us to be anything other than their yearly doormat. They'd rather destroy our program than build up their own program. We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg as to the insanity of which their fans are capable. Despite losing to us on the field for the last 3 years, they've at least always been able to claim the mythical 'crootin championship every February (actual on-field results may vary). But Mullen even took that consolation prize away from them this season. And when we beat them aGAIN next season, the gloves will really come off. Wouldn't surprise me in the least for some of them to hire PIs aGAIN. And the likes of XenaReb are beginning to resurface. They're coming completely unhinged, which means we better strap in because this ride is about to get seriously bumpy.

she is too old to be !$#$**% NCAA investigators at this point? I mean, that was really her only trick right? I can see the Joginheimer (sp?) going to work because he was getting his pole smoked but that was a long time ago. She can't still be throwing leg at the NCAA....

If so, I need the link.

Shirley, you guys aren't such sunshine pumpers that you feel the need to defend something so benign and, in fact, needs no defense.

When I first saw it brief interview clip, I assumed Mullen was responding to something that OM was spreading during recruiting that apparently had some traction, or at least was so outlandish that it stuck with recruits. I have no idea if I am "Samsonite-Way-Off" about this but I assumed OM had been telling recruits that Jesus founded OM while Dan Mullen is a thetan terrorist and may or may not be the human embodiment of the Galactic Dictator, Xenu, himself/herself/itself.

I'm 100% un-confident that this is 60% true.

Natural perfection. Except for the hair (fook me for even noticing that).

 

[KurtRambis4]

Usually when people post something sarcastic they keep it to a sentence or two (short, smart-*** statement), and not a book.

 

[gravedigger]

defamed his beliefs and he went back at whomever did that. He's a good man and wanted to make sure those who used the idea that his beliefs are wrong as a recruiting tactic are exposed.But who really cares? He landed the class he landed and any kid or family who believes that **** needs to go the 17 away.

Let them be insulted by the word championships, first choice, or preaching. If they werent hypocritical it wouldnt bother them in the first place.

And yet, it does.

[J-Dawg]

No worries here.

 

[War Machine Dawg]

But to say they have my complete faith on this one would be stretching it. Those in athletic administration don't think like you & I, average Joe MSU fan. It's a business to them, and they deal with like-minded business types in the Bear athletic department. Therefore, they tend to not take the threat too seriously. And despite past actions of the Bear boosters, they probably don't believe it will get that bad aGAIN. Whereas you and I who deal with their crazy fans daily see the threat as very real. We also have long memories, which the business types who are in athletic administration can't really afford to have. The one thing that does give me confidence is that Stricklin is a lifelong MSU fan, so maybe he'll give the threat a little more credibility than most business-minded ADs. Of course, XenaReb & Harvey Updyke should be branded into the minds of every AD in our league and make them vigilant prevent those sorts of things from happening ever aGAIN.

 

[patdog]

You really think that Stricklin doesn't know what to expect from the Bears? Or that he hasn't prepared for it? Give the man a little credit. He's been a Bulldog his whole life. He knows what to expect from them.
