Mccready interview on the Gridiron

[Shamoan]

Takeaways:

1) he is not a fan
2) bad look for the NCAA (quoted)
3) bad look for NCAA investigators (quoted)
4) bad look for the state of Mississippi (quoted)
5) he is not a fan (repeated for emphasis)
6) MSU made Leo go to the NCAA
7) something stupid about weaponizing rival players & we chose a bad time to start casting stones now that major NCAA realignment is coming



Dear Neal:

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

I'm afraid your message to Neal won't bother him because, you know, he's not a fan and is "dispassionate about it."

 

[MaroonNation]

Haha. You heard it too. I just posted about it as well. I love how he chastised Brooks for adding the word ""allegedly"

 

[Shamoan]

its kind of odd the lengths he goes to let everyone know that he isnt a fan....despite being arguably one of their biggest fans.

 

[Shamoan]

poor brooks....he might be a bit of a om twitter warrior and struggle to hide his om fandom, but at least he doesnt deny it and seems like an atypical bear. that part was kind of an awkward exchange....even brooks wont take mccready or godfrey's claims as fact....unless confronted and forced to by small men like neal.

Clown Patrol.

 

[MaroonNation]

McCready then ended the interview by saying that the only PR issue Ole Miss has had is not pulling the interim label off Fatt Luke. Complete horse **** the entire interview.

 

[Shamoan]

bad look for The Gridiron

Next weeks Up/Down needs to be 9/11 12/7

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

If he really was not a fan, I could figure out how by listening to him & reading his comments - HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO TELL ME!

 

[patdog]

its kind of odd the lengths he goes to let everyone know that he isnt a fan....despite being arguably one of their biggest fans.

Just like when someone says, "It's not about the money" over and over. You know damn well it IS about the money.

They're gonna hang me, in the morning

They're gonna hang me, in the morning
I'll never see the sun...

To the realignment comment: Mississippi State has a larger athletic budget than 35% of the other public Power 5 schools. No public school outside the Power 5 has a larger budget than State. (2015-16 numbers; Private schools don't have to report.) We're not as close to the edge of the Power 5 as he wants you to believe.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Mississippi State Athletic Department Revenue should surpass Ole Miss during their probation

 

[RutherfordBHayes]

I would suggest an unbiased, "non-fan" journalist to remove himself from that echo chamber, and he might learn a thing or two.

He said that nobody "wants to go to Starkville" and nobody wants to "go to Oxford, RIGHT NOW". As if Starkville is some backwater and Oxford is Shangrila. He went on and on about the toxicity of the rivalry as if State is responsible for all of this NCAA trouble.

I have a close relative in Oxford. The honestly believe this stuff. Theirs is an alternate reality. Facts are ignored and a more palatable narrative is accepted, damn the evidence.

But if he reports reality, he bites the hand that feeds him and will lose his job. If he reports what the paying customers want to hear, he will maintain but sells out and never goes anywhere.

McReady- a real profile in Courage.

 

[josebrown]

As dispassionate as he claims to be, he sure gets worked up in defense of ole miss. And he really hates anything MSU related. He's threatening to quit twitter, because he can't control himself in defense of ole miss and attacking MSU folks.

To not be a fan of ole miss, he has a very odd hatred of MSU. He gets extremely mad and lies in ole miss' defense.

He he is one confused individual!

 

[tatedog]

If he truly believe that Ole Miss' only PR issue is Matt Luke, he's far deeper into the rabbit hole than we feared.

 

[MaroonNation]

He one-up'd that. He said to expect a huge push prior to the Alabama game, from "the Luke family" towards Bjork, to have the interim tag removed. If that doesn't tell you that Rebels Forward runs that entire damn ******** university I don't know what else would.

 

[tatedog]

Bjork is going to get a huge push soon, but it's not going to be from the Luke family.
