once we get a new ball coach.......

We need to get rid of the hail state in the endzone and never hashtag anything in the endzone ever agian.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Hail State sounds too much like Heil Hitler

Let's leave the Heiling to the destroyers of Mississippi to the North. Also, "The People's University"? Kim Jong-il is NOT our President.

I would like to see Cohen get rid of some of the Mullen era bull ****

please get rid of the stupid hail state in the endzone. That needs to go so bad. And we even had it as a hashtag once lol. Very dumb stuff. And never ever attempt to put hail state on a uniform ever again. The whole hailstate thing is over used. I really don't know what the hell I was thinking when I made my username but I hate it.

lets go back to the more traditional logo for football, god I hated the way we messed up the banner m-state in 2009. The original one was much better despite it being associated with croom. But for gods sake can't we use the interlocking MSU?? That's an even a better logo, and it really beats the **** out of both of them.

And the "this is our state" BS was awful too.

I know all this stuff is AD type stuff but I bet Mullen had a lot of say too. All of it came in the Mullen era.

Croom was a terrible coach, but atleast he wasn't gimmicky. The one thing I hated the most about Mullen and this era is all the gimmicky stuff we pulled and offten got it thrown back in our face.

Yea, I mean saying and using something in the school fight song is just total bs.The only thing that should be demanded to never be done again from the Mullen era is the head coach wearing shorts during a game.

 

[tatedog]

One Mullen gimmick/tradition I hope we continue is him losing to top 25 teams in Starkville.

I can get on board with no more hashtags in the endzone. I disagree with pretty much everything else you stated... But I'd like to draw special attention to the quote above.

The original M-state logo was a travesty. It was a goofy, frilly, clip-art-looking piece of crap that I hated long before it became a symbol of the Croom years. Never go back.

I was walking out of a gas station on I-40 in Arkansas while another man was walking into the store. I had an MSU shirt on. He he walked by, he greeted me with "Hail State!". I never got that kind of a greeting growing up wearing maroon and white. It's great to have that!

It's not a Mullen thing. It's an MSU marketing and branding thing. Keep it and grow it!

 

[TheStateUofMS]

You're right on Hail State in the EZ and the hashtag. Pretty sure that was loafers. The rest of this post is pure garbage.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Fitz ended an interview the other day with a Hail State. I have folks in Orlando say Hail State to me. Hail State is great, distinct slogan for us. I don't want it in our end zone, though.

I prefer Mississippi State and/or Bulldogs in our end zone.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

You know you are right. Let’s change the fight song while we are at it. That makes sense.*****

 

[LTblows]

Slight hijack- I'd love to change the fight song. One line: from "cross the goal before you fall" to "cross the goal; you will not fall". How it is now sounds a bit self deprecating.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

So, hailstate19, you obviously don't care much for "Hail State"?

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Okay - disagree with everything the orginal post said... but one request.

Let's jazz up the alma mater. Ever see the movie stand by me with Morgan Freeman as the principal?

Put some modern pep in the alma mater and continue that tradition of singing the song after each game. As is, it's unsingable.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Croom was a terrible coach, but atleast he wasn't gimmicky.

If croom did it a certain way, then you can bet that it does not need to be replicated.

Yes - Can't we at least go back to "Moo U"?

Yeah. He helps Will Wheaton find a dead body, right?

 

[garndawg]

I like Hail State. I also like "This is our STATE".

Meh on the M-banner.

Overall, I like what Dan Mullen brought to us. I am proud of the legacy he's left us.

And I hope we don't Emm-State the replacement hire...

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I like Hail State, but not as a greeting to fellow Bulldogs. It has been overused. It's good in the endzone once or twice a season.

The old logo sucked and was so generic. Ripped off by so many other schools, or did we rip it off of them.

I like "This is Our State" and just about any other ad campaigns we have done.

Most of the changes you want to remove were the good changes made in the last 9 years.

 

[archdog]

I wouldn't mind a variation of our MSJ logo on the helmets. I liked it better.
Everything else can stay the way it is. I would rather the Hailstate endzone say STATE instead though.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

every time someone says HailState another Nazi dies. That should never change

 

[patdog]

I wouldn't mind a variation of our MSJ logo on the helmets.

That ship sailed a long time ago. It's going to be M-State for the foreseeable future.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

This has to be a deep troll job or you are just severely lacking some mental capacity

 

[Klovis]

I agree with leaving it out of the endzone.

but i say keep it as our "saying"

 

[EurekaDog]

For us who live out of state, "Hail State" is an easy way to strike up...

a conversation with other MSU alums, students on break, etc.

Every time I've been close to someone (wearing MSU clothes, has a MSU decal on their auto), everyone one has responded in kind.

Maybe it's overdone in MS, but away from MS, it works.

 

[West Tn Dawg]

It's not as bad as "Roll Tide" or "War Eagle" and a helluva lot better than that stupid....."Hotty Toddy"
I like being greeted all around the country with "Hail Sate"!

 

[WilCoDawg]

My sentiments exactly. It was hard at first because I felt I was cussing at people, but I love using it as a greeting and farewell. Even Michigan is trying to copy it.**

The self deprecating fight song is perfect for Mississippi State. It's kind of a point of pride.

Hail State in the Endzone is awesome. It’s different.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Hell no. Just look it up. "lean on me". The principal character was Joe Clark. Good movie, actually. Watch and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Let me get this straight. Your name is Hailstate19 and you hate hailstate.

So what’s your new name going to be, hailstricklins?
