esplanade91...i have to ask...
and trust me, i don't hate state like you hate Ole Miss. state is about 4th on my list. i have a lot of state family members and good friends here in Oxford that are state friends. i could care less if yall go 11-1 every year (the one loss to us of course).
you are calling us out for "handshakes", special treatment and swaying players. didn't state just get nailed for paying a player and giving him a used mustang? please explain to me how that isn't special treament? please explain how that isn't trying to sway a player?
also, do you know Nkemdiche? how is he a head case? is that because he didn't go to state? C Jones is a great football player. however, neither you or i have any idea if either of them are going to be worth a crap on the SEC football field.
i am not even going to comment on character and i can't even believe you brought that up. wait, yes i can because you made the other crazy a$$ statement about cheating.
i am pretty sure the trash talking stemmed from yall last year. running your trap to bama (which i really wish yall had taken them to the shed) and then to us. putting up the big sign on the state capital that it's your state blah blah blah (which is actually very good in my opinion). i would say that is running your mouth. i am sure we did and have too, but i can assure you we aren't dumb enough to put a t-shirt on the statue of Bear Bryant and have a picture taken. i mean, if we were undefeated and had played somebody in the top 100, maybe. but not with yalls schedule. you could see that train wreck coming a mile away...and you know it and so did most state fans. also, banks couldn't cover Moncrief if he was running on his knees. he77, banks and slay together couldn't cover Moncrief if he told you where he was going. i mean we played the song "Feed Moncrief"...didn't that give you any indication that we were going to throw it to him? you got beat...deal with it. i did for 3 years in a row. the world didn't end.
quitting in the second half. true enough your team didn't quit in the second half. they got hammered for 4 quarters in 5 of the last 6 games...you know, when you played teams with talent. we didn't quit...it is called depth and we were seriously lacking there and anybody with half a football mind would tell you that. it looked to me like the state fans quit about mid way through the 3rd as the mass exit began in our stadium.
your fans don't stalk the players huh? well, if C Jones was here i'd ask him how true that is and i will also make sure i ask CJ Johnson. i will have to ask what his new account handle is because he had to change it because of yall...kind of like Jones having to cut his off. i could also ask your only 4 star commit about it because when he sent his tweet out about de-committing, he had to send another one telling state fans to calm down he isn't going anywhere.
some of yalls tune changes everytime a recruit chooses us, and the same goes for some of our fans. if he chooses state he isn't that good or they are cheating. same goes for some of your fans. the bottom line is, there are these types of fans on both sides. NOTHING Ole Miss does is fair according to you. we are always cheating. the players we have are head cases and won't get in school (even though they are already enrolled). i definitely wouldn't be calling anybody out for cheating right now though. and maybe, just maybe you should treat them like rock stars. that is what kids want these days and if you don't know that, i can't help you.
your passion for state is awesome and don't let that change, but be realistic.
Good Luck in the CWS. you made it and have 2 times in 6 years. we have made it 0 in that span, and in the span of 13 years. i hope yall win it all. bring the trophy back to MS. i hope lsuX gets beat twice and goes home.
p.s. would you really care if state signed a top 5 recruiting class and they all said Starkville State University? would you really care? i don't care what they call us. put on the red and blue, win and you can call us University of Ole Miss all you want.
