Joe Paterno/Jerry Sandusky type scandal?
SMU death penalty?
0-23 like USM?
Selling our souls and hiring Bobby Petrino?

Just curious....

Us merging with the University of Mississippi because the state went broke from Phil Bryant not accepting the healthcare money.

That's about it.

If we hired an unknown assistant from Clemson to be our head basketball coach. Oh wait... Good thing we have Mullen and Cohen.

Sending an e-mail about some player I see in a high school game, then not hearing anything back. That, or one of the Coaches not saying "hi" to me at a Booster Club meeting. That, or Cups that smell like ***. That, or Rent-A-Cops that think they're Rambo.......

I think it would take a merger with Ole Miss for me as well. Technically, I wouldn't be denouncing MSU athletics, just the newly formed team. I think I'd become a Tide fan before I'd cheer for a Ole Miss/MSU combo team.

I would be fine with a merger with Ole Miss, as long as we didn't use "Ole Miss," "Rebels," or red/blue. We would be a national power.

We would always wonder whose "boys" really made it happen on the field. You know those fartheads would want to take all the credit.

As long as my paycheck says "Mississippi State University" on top, nothing would make me renounce the athletic department. I might lose interest, but never renounce it. (yes, I'm also an alumnus).

Leaving the SEC and joining a second tier conference could definitely cause me not to care about athletics anymore. Strickland allowing someone like Justin beiber to stand on the sidelines during games would definitely be a red flag for me as well.

If they ever reseat the football stadium again, I might consider it.

Just curious....

They should've had a Croom Exemption to reseating, where if you held season tickets during the entirety of the Croom Error and you're happy where you are, you get to stay put.

C'mon, Sybil!

We could play football in the Vaught, basketball in the Hump and baseball @ DNF. Our colors would be blue and white. We would have the best athletes fighting to come to the University of Mississippi State A & M. With y'all's ag program and our pot fields, we would be unstoppable. Throw a kilo on the campfire in the middle of a bunch of engineers and doctors..., bionics will not be far behind. Think of the possibilities!

I`m glad I don`t know the whole story of how Stricklin ended up as AD...that would probably push me real close to the edge with what I already know about the Croom hiring.

I think a Paterno/Sandusky scandal would do it for me. Because it went way beyond a couple of coaches, and even beyond just the athletic dept.

If a Paterno/Sandusky happened at MSU you wouldn`t have to make a decision. The NCAA would make it for you like they should have at PSU !

If we allowed Byron DeVinner back on campus...oh well. Seriously, nothing. I guess that's why I get other peoples' fandom.
