Things You Want From the New AD

[ArcherSPS]

I know I'm gonna get a lot of "FIRE MULLENZZZ" or "KEEP MULLENZ", but I'm talking on a purely gameday experience, marketing, branding, uniforms, etc aspect. For me, I have a few basketball & other wants:

1. Get rid of the RC cars and musical chairs during halftime of the basketball games. Instead the companies sponsoring these dubmass games, why not have them sponsor a video highlighting a past player, moment, or current student athlete.

2. End the thing with the band, Bully on the drum, and cheerleaders on the court before tip-off, it's forced as 17 and awkward as hell.

3. Move the students to across from the benches. It makes zero 17ing sense to have them behind our basket during the second half

4. Get Anthony Craven to be the full-time PA announcer at the Hump. Jonathan Holmes absolutely sucks at it, the dude 17s up constantly.

5. Remove the Mississippi State wordmark logo from all men's jerseys. We pulled "Mississippi State" off in the past w/o the banner and we can do it again.

6. Fix the sound system at DWS

7. Deal with whoever does our licensing. We have some of the most gaudy, ugly **** offered in stores.

8. Figure out a deal to get the interlocking MSU back from Nike. You'd sell so much gear with that logo on it, it'd more than make up for the fee to buy it back I'm sure.

9. Looking through old materials, I see we've had many MSU specific songs that the FMB used to play. Get them to relearn them and speak to the SA about teaching it to students.

All great ideas but you forgot "FAR MERLINZ1!1!!!"

Seriously, these are spot on.

1. It's halftime. Shouldn't you be in the bathroom peeing and then getting something from concessions.
5. Disagree. The banner Mississippi State logo looks great.
6. Blow the current system up and install a new one.
8. Never going to happen. The interlocking MSU is dead. For close to a decade I would have agreed with you. But we've invested way too much time and money in the current brand logos to go back. And the M-State has grown on me. It looks pretty damn good.

I like it, but not on the front of our uniforms.

 

[EngDawg]

Bring back the Abners chicken throw!!!!!!!****

 

[ArcherSPS]

I honestly wouldn't hate having the recliner FT shoot back.

Did anybody ever make that. I don't think I ever saw anyone make it.

 

[RingN2012]

Did anybody ever make that. I don't think I ever saw anyone make it.

I remember a couple people making it.
That damn chicken throw, man that was terrible

I think the word mark and block MState both look good. Both look better than the old interlocking MSU from Nike. /ducks

I'll add a serious one: Hank Flick at the Hump. I know he's getting older, but he's the best there ever was for basketball PA.

 

[civildawg88]

If he was able to bring back flick it would be a Christmas miracle. The hump would be packed his first game back

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

^^This +1

Dennis Buse made it one night.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Hank will never come back. That bridge was burned when we told him he was no longer the PA announcer at DWS. He is still very, very bitter about it.

[MaroonNation]

I want "Hail state" off the 17'ing field. I want it to read "Mississippi State" in one end zone and "Bulldogs" in the other.

 

[mcdawg22]

Make Bell Island Great Again.

Can't blame him. His unique voice made you feel like you were at a State football game or in the hump (for hoops). Whoever we use now might as well be text to speech on someones laptop.

 

[The Peeper]

#9 "MSU songs, teaching to students" bahahahahaha, yeah right. They'd just **** it up and piss you off more.

And I can't stand anything "Hail State" or "M-State" Bring back the interlocking MS!

 

[Junction John]

Bring back Flick, Neal, and the Big Fat Yeast Roll, and basketball is set.**

Any of you of my generation remember Neal? Anyone?

 

[dawgphd]

Hank will never come back. That bridge was burned when we told him he was no longer the PA announcer at DWS. He is still very, very bitter about it.

Let Howland recruit him.

 

[RightOfCenter]

+1 for getting hail state out of the endzone. I thought it was ok for a one time thing, but I hate it now every time I see it.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Students don't piss me off. I think they give more to the crowd than any of the blue hairs sitting on their hands during the games.

Also, they got taught to yell "Hail State" after first downs and have done it really well since 2014.

 

[Dawg1979]

+1 on Hank Flick. i loved that guy.

work on beer in the games.

 

[hailstate19]

Get rid of the Mississippi state banner logo for the uniforms. It's an ugly logo. Bring back the interlocking MSU.

Also is it necessary for us to have hail state in the endzone. Why not just Mississippi state or Bulldogs?

 

[drail14me]

Get ride of Carolina Pride!!!!!

 

[The Peeper]

They didn't get rid of those yet? I thought they were selling Polks hot dogs at The Dude this year for $1 @ Tues nt games, " The Official Meat of MSU Baseball "

 

[Faustdog]

1. Intensity

2. A potty mouth

3. Extensive knowledge of Microsoft Office 2003

4. A little Jewish heritage

 

[aTotal360]

5. familiarity of etrade mobile app

 

[HueFreeze]

Beer!!! at games ...we can't even hold our water bottles**

 

[Shamoan]

someone that doesnt think its a good idea to bunt at least once through the lineup.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Fix the dws sound system? How about not having it blasting 70s rock while the band is playing.

I think a flyer in the season tickets explaining that we are to stay seated during the games, discussions referrt to the suckitude of the team or coaching staff is to be at liberry voice level only. Oh...and no whining about the uniform stripes.**

 

[Dawgbreeze]

Go and close that office that we stupidly gave to Templeton. He has done us no favors since he brownnosed his way with Slive and the SEC.

Well, he did us one favor ... he left Starkville.
