Question for our fans (Warning Long)

[Tomas Smid]

Oh, make no mistake, that's the ONLY motivation. And maybe I'm alright with that, but what I do NOT want to see is us try to do things the exact same way they did. And I also want to see us continue to strive and execute a plan even when Ole Miss is not good.

They have a different dynamic than us. A notch better history, fan support, culture. It's just true. We should not follow their lead and aspire to be them.

It may be a tad bit more than a notch. OM is headed to their 11th Sugar Bowl, a place MSU has never been.

I am very curious to see read the responses here but this is a needed and warranted conversation.

There is no doubt we still have fans who vehemently hate the NIL and won’t give yet they also seem to be the loudest in the room when it comes to complaining about our football team and administration. That being said, here is my question to all of you.

Did watching our rival yesterday almost put 70k in the stadium, hosting and winning a playoff game change now how you view NIL and further more the BC/SEF/ BI?

Granted some on here like myself give and give freely and generously but did seeing our rival yesterday motivate you like myself to dig down and give a little more?

For those that don’t give did yesterday motivate you to look at this new era of football and decide to give even if it’s just 25 to 50 a month?’ (Don’t scoff at the small amount here every donation counts and helps)

I understand there is some trepidation about the program and leadership under Lebby and I to share some of of thoughts , however I still belive that we still need to arm the current leader with as much firepower as we can. This would not only show the current administration and staff we are committed as a fan base, but would also show that should we make a change in the very near future that this fan base is committed to winning and giving the needed resources to do so to be successful.

Never in the history of college football have fans had such a direct interest and impact on results on the field than they do now by giving and supporting the football program.

I have more to add, but I think this is a good conversation for us to look in the mirror and check our true potential and temperature of how we view NIL and if we are committed to doing exactly what our rivals did by embracing the new era and building and giving. Can we all pull together lock step and support the program… Again this isn’t a Lebby hate thread think bigger picture when answering. This isn’t to start and argument it’s to have a civil discussion about our program and fan base. No wrong answers here.

Nothing our rival does motivates me to watch my money turn to free agency vapor. If anything, I consider the big donors not too bright.

It’s because we give a shlt about baseball. Not because we don’t want to fund football. We like it (baseball). Get over it. Mississippi is a baseball state.

We funded a baseball stadium at 60 million dollars (with money not fundraised) while the sport that everyone else in our league cares about is at the bottom of the league in everything financially related. I won’t get over it.

If I’m asked to give money to something, I want to get some pleasure from it, and I’ve not felt good about Mississippi State football since Mike Leach’s first game as coach.

Why the 17 should I give more money to something fundamentally depressing? I already set aside cash for annual PSAs/ prostate checkups…

Ole Miss is the Oakland A’s.

Which makes &tate the Durham Bulls*****

At least the checkups aren’t a waste of your time, either******

Seriously, at the heart of your statement is: “I will pay to be “entertained.” Watching the alma mater consistently get boat raced is not a form of entertainment worth paying for
