After leaving the pep rally and walking half a mile, hundreds of MSU fans gathered alone the south gates of Reliant Stadium for Dawg walk as had been scheduled. We where even encouraged to do so by Mr. Stricklin during his speech at the pep rally. We stood there for over an hour in 97 degree heat. The event staff roped the area off for the players to enter. Scott walked around greeting the fans. Some MSU staffer even came around saying "they are almost here; let's be loud."
But then, 15 minutes after the team was scheduled to arrive, someone comes out and says that the team was already inside the stadium! Scott had a WTF look on his face. I don't know who made the decision to skip-out on the event. It was in very poor taste. Hundreds of fans spent money to support this team. Stood out in the heat. And the team does a no show. I for one felt like crap when some OSU fan asked me if our team had chickened out. I think that Mullen made that call and it was as bad as the rest of the calls he made yesterday.
