Did anyone else notice that OM

[ronpolk]

Twitter announcement for each kid that signed contained the number of stars the kid was? In each picture, mostly behind the actual picture of the kid, was 3 or 4 stars. Is there another school so obsessed with star rankings?

They also had a picture of the state each kid was from that was bigger than their names. They always want to win the press conference and they believe getting out of state players is so much bigger of a deal than in-state.

This is funny to me as well. While I love MSU, I am not so naive that I think that there are not flashier or better schools out there, in any certain way. It is what it is. Auburn/Florida/Tennessee is going to attract bigger fish on average than MSU. Ole Miss is trying to win at that game, and display 'flash' it seems, and not just in athletics, in student recruiting as well. It may be a good idea if you do it correctly, or it could backfire. I like that MSU has taken the 'grindin' approach, we will take the unheralded AND heralded Mississippi boys, along with your leftovers, and beat you with them.

Absolutely noticed that too. Almost every tweet (or retweet) from their main football program's or Freeze's twitter account indicated how many stars each recruit had. After a couple of their whiffs, they were even tweeting about their early signees.

It seems they cherry picked which service they used so that each player had a maxed out star count. A couple of their retweets from Kyle Campbell (whoever that is) ventured completely into the theater of the absurd (14 out of 17 signees are 4 stars).

I went back and read through all of the @HailStateFB and @CoachDanMullen tweets just to make sure it was a fair criticism and not a single one in either mentioned a recruit's star count.

Every tweet said something to the effect of "welcome to the fam/family" or "welcome home" or celebrated how many were from Mississippi.

Probably demonstrates the difference between our programs as well as anything else.

Interestingly, the left off some of the height and weights of some recruits on the tweets I saw. Thought this was strange for some reason

I can't say that I have seen any Tweets from Ole Miss concerning their signees, and hope that I don't.......

 

[snoopdog]

Unfortunately, my Ole Miss friends kept retweeting their players signing...

So they rolled through my Twitter feed all day.

I understand, but for certain people you can do this too: Go to their

profile and you can "Block Retweets by this user" This is very useful, not only for Bear fans especially, but for MSU people you follow too. I use it so that at the end of the 3rd inning, halftime, whatever you don't get a recap of the entire game from Bart, Jim, MSUBB, Rhett Hobart, Carskadon, Mike Bonner etc etc all of them telling you the same thing. I use Tweetcaster instead of the regular Twitter feed so apologies if it doesn't work for other Tweet feeds

But I would miss out on so much comedy

the beautiful mixture of sunshine pumpers, imploders, and possible (probable) pedophiles from today was comedy gold.

 

[snoopdog]

Good to know. I do get a lot of repeat stuff. Thanks!

 

[RockstarFromMars]

Wow at the Ole Miss topics.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Most of it is ...

Wow at the Ole Miss topics.

'cause implosions are just so much fun to watch.

Any reb troll want to comment on the fact that OM only signed 4 from Mississippi?

 

[Lettucexxxx]

Wow at the Ole Miss topics.

Wow? I thought that was why you were here.

Wow at the Ole Miss topics.

You don't find it ironic that you, an OM fan, came to a state board and get upset with OM topics? Kinda the pot calling the kettle black.

Let this sink in, I've been on this board since 2009 compared to you since 2012. In 3 more years I've only accumulated 80 more post than you. Why do you post so much on "little brothers board"?

 

[Hammer Down]

Isn't it time to move on from this tired retort? Add some substance, you sound like vinnyvegas from the old OMSpirit site with that. So does ronpolk with the typical retort.

 

[RockstarFromMars]

I don't refer to you as little brother nor am I upset. Just surprised by the amount.

How often do you post on an LSU board?

And that right there is the major difference between the 2 fan bases. MSU is land grant institution that devotes its entire existence to bettering the state of Mississippi and other people. Ole Miss devotes its entire existence to bettering themselves.

They actually think it's better to get out of state players and we think its great to control the in state players first, then go out of state. Rebel recruiting reflects their overall demeanor just as our recruiting does. I'm perfectly fine with the approach we take.

 

[NWADog]

Arkansas did the same thing

Every player that signed had the state they were from and only certain ones had their stars by their names and some had position ranks. They conveniently left off stars and position ranks on the lower rated guys

 

[PopATop]

because we can't compete with MS state. Besides, I don't give a **** if they're pygmies if freeze stays the course
