The capital one bowl also tweeted they "will definitely be stealing that idea!"
Also, mashable, which is widely considered a leading social media company has already tweeted about it as well. In fact, mashable's iPad app is usually one of the first things I check every morning.
As I said yesterday, it's genius. It just is. If anyone says it's not they are high on crack or they're an Ole miss fan. State will get at least a million dollars worth of free publicity because of this.

and he is always on nafoom acting like a forward thinking progressive minded black bear extolling the virtues of dropping the racist traditions of olemiss. You would think he would see the value in this. He has also predicted a winning season last year and a .500 season this year for the bears. Go figure.
My first reaction was it was the most clever idea ever...and a "million dollars of free publicity" is an understatement .....

I guess Cuban could learn something from OP. I mean, we all know who the true visionary and innovator of the two is. I assume OP will also laugh off the Capitol One Bowl for using the idea; their marketing department obviously is no better than arena football league quality.
so believe it or not, Mark Cuban knows about MSU. In the early days of broadcast.com, MSU was one of the first to connect with his company so that you could listen to radio over the internet. They weren't that big of a company back then. Anyway, MSU got set up before most schools with broadcast.com.<div>

just that it seemed a little CUSAish...or better yet, something youd see in the old XFL. The publicity is great. Hell, we would all probably piss on a spark plug if it would help us win games. If it would win us an SEC championship, Id strip my fat *** naked on the 50 for the opening kickoff. Bottom line is, some folks just dont like it, they are entitled to their opinion. Im not a big fan of it myself, but I know and trust Scott Stricklin and I have 100% faith that all of his decisions are made in Mississippi State's best interests. If Scott says its good, then Im behind him on it.
Hashtags aside, I think we can all agree on one thing GO TO HELL TSUN

From Bulldog e-news today...
A review by sports blogger Dr. Bill Smith (edited below) illustrates our goal:
“Miss(issippi) State makes history with the first ever end zone hashtag.
I am not kidding you - #HAILSTATE across one end zone.
This is game changing.
Mashable has picked it up, and every online or social oriented publication. This breaks Miss(issippi) State out of all kinds of stereotypes and puts them in a ton of new markets. If you haven't seen it this year, the institutional TV ad by MSU is one of the best, and it puts a high emphasis on innovation and breaking the old State image…
From the Mashable story, the genesis of a genius move:
The hashtagging-the-endzone plan was hatched during a weekly marketing meeting, according to Mississippi State’s athletic director, Scott Stricklin. The original plan was to simply paint “Hail State” in the endzone. But when someone suggested hashtagging the slogan, Stricklin said, “there was this moment in the room, like, ‘Ohhh, that’d be different, no one’s done that before.’”
Miss(issippi) State got Mark Cuban's attention. Reckon who might be up for an investment in some tech or scholarships now?...Betcha Cuban would take Stricklin's call next week. Won't even bet that Cuban tweets about the hash tag bring State a new group of social media oriented followers that never would have thought about Starkville, Miss….
One more hit as to why this is demonstrably awesome. How did I pick up on the story? From my vast network of Internet sources? No, it was sitting atop my Facebook news feed today - a link from Mashable, a link from Miss(issippi) State but most important, the trigger was a like from my friend and former student worker Tyler Vaught. An Arkansas grad and Oregon master's, he is a former lead PR worker for EA Sports in Canada, now living in San Francisco and working still in the video game industry. He is nowhere near someone that I would have thought cared or noticed anything from the Bulldogs.
Scott Stricklin got Tyler's attention last night. On the West Coast. In the heart of online world.
Scott is changing what people think of Stark-Vegas. Not with a huge budget. Not with tens of consultants. With his simple commitment to being social, and by well thought out moves.”
