<p class="" align="left"><font color="#660000">FOLKS ARE BEGINNING TO NOTICE!</font></p> <p class=""><font color="#660000">We have stated many times here, and whenever we visit with our people, that providing an enjoyable experience at athletic events is one of the main goals of our athletic department. We have received numerous emails indicating that our folks now enjoy the game-day atmosphere on campus. Now, the opponent is beginning to notice as well. We received this email last week:</font></p> <p class=""><font color="#660000">"Good afternoon! I am an Auburn graduate/fan and I attended Saturday's game in Starkville and I was completely blown away. Everyone I met was so helpful and friendly and really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. I have been to 6 of the 12 SEC campuses for Auburn games and Starkville is the best far and away. I loved the beauty of the campus and just the overall atmosphere. Also, I appreciate how your ticket prices are still within a reasonable range. I know my game-day experience couldn't have been better and I look forward to returning in 2010.</font></p> <p class=""><font color="#660000">Thank You!"</font></p> <p class=""><font color="#660000">Overall, it was a great atmosphere this past Saturday night, and we appreciate you making it that way. But as we report that good news, we also have to say that the Junction was not treated as well this past weekend. While we realize that we had a large crowd, it alone should not explain the amount of trash left on the grounds. Trash bags and trash cans are located in the Junction for housekeeping purposes, and we should take pride in the beautiful campus we have and leave it the way we found it. The university administrative leadership should not have to pick up refuse on Sunday that could easily have been properly put in its place on Saturday night.</font></p>

Glad to see the trash situation addressed.

An athletic director that regularly addresses the public and is the clear leader for the athletic office. I am envious.

It is re-damn-diculous the amount of trash that some people leave out there. If you can not put your beer can in a trash bag then sty your ignorant *** at home

 

[PBRME]

And here we go back to our normal pecking order of the SEC for most of this decade. Your campus is beautiful and everyone was so nice = thanks for the win, by the way your team sucks. Your town sucks, the fans are rednecks, and DAMN COWBELLS!!!!!! = we just got our *** handed to us by State and we're not supposed to lose to you.

...punks who havent had to do anything for themselves thier entire lives.

 

[bonedaddy401]

I'm talking tables, food, trash, even the damn tent. They just picked up and left. Unfcking believable.

anytime somone pays us a compleiment it's because we suck and they enjoy beating us. Yes the game was gut wrenching but it was one of the best atmospheres in a long time.

The MSU gameday experience has come a long way and is something to be proud of. My father-in-law an AUburn grad came to the game and he came to the UAB game last year. He says that he enjoys coming to State games as much if not more than AU games. We have a cool set up and beautiful campus. be proud of that

Are you officially "back?"

 

[Oxford Godfrey]

Hey Bulldogs, instead of agonizing over that heartbreaking, soul-crushing loss on national TV that most the media and internet turned into a joke, take pride that a fan base spoiled by trips to Atlanta and major bowl games really thinks that we are NICE people.

 

[cowbell9]

it's another thing to leave all your trash an ****. You should have taken a dump on their table and pissed in the cooler.

How much spare time can you have when you're busy writing an action/mystery/religious novel?</p>

 

[Mr Todd French]

I couldn't believe the trash. My tent along with the older people next to us made a group of kids on the other side of us pick their **** up. They didn't want to at first be they finally did. With the fights, trash, and drinking it won't be long and something will be done. By the way did anyone see the big dude passed out under the tent that had to be carried out by his friends. I thought he was dead.

 

[AzzurriDawg4]

What a bunch of ***-clowns. Look, my tailgate is about as rowdy as they come, as 8dog and others can attest, and we make a royal mess by the time it is all said and done, but you will not find trash around our tailgate after it is broken down. It takes about 3 minutes to pick up the trash and even less to throw it in a garbage bag in the first place. I literally had a difficult time NOT stepping on trash when we were trying to carry our **** to the truck. I will be speaking my mind to folks when they break down their tents next game.

This is getting old. Let's stop playing the "victim" and accept a compliment with pride instead of 17ing complaining about something.

where the administration auctions off the rights to clean up the place. They often find coolers, chairs, TVs, Chandeliers, Jewelry, you name it.
