Bears Mississippi Made BS

[fishwater99]

You seen the new info graphic for football?

Yes, it’s Marketing that tried to put them in the best

Possible light. Certainly not applicable to the modern era/reality but it serves their purpose.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

It’s ironic that a university that historically has not wanted to be associated with Mississippi now has no choice in recruiting.

Hopefully, we can capitalize on this BS and continuously point out to players that there will be ONLY ~19 Mississippi players on OM fall roster of over 105.

They insist that they are a 'national' brand UNTIL Mississippi happens to have a great '19 crop of players.

OM coworker sent that to me this morning. Isn't there a recent favorable MSU

vs OM graphic? Maybe similar stats over the past 10 or 25 years? I thought one was going around in the past month or two.

It's akin to the Chris Kiffin Twitter header that showed three players Chris Kiffin didn't coach.

That’s what I’m thinking.. in just counting the final roster from last year, we have 45 returning players from Mississippi (not including the signees or graduating class).

Anybody willing to post this so the rest of us know what we are talking about?

Here it is, I couldn't post from phone... Silly Bears are still living in the past...

 

[L4Dawg]

They don't want to restrict it to the last 25 years though. They still yearn for the days of segregation.......in every way.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Isn’t there a graphic of the past 25 years that shows the head to head in the Big 3? I could have sworn I saw it.

 

[msstate7]

National championships...

Princeton 28
Bama 17

Princeton > bama in football

 

[HotMop]

Someone with more time should repost this with numbers since Jackie Sherril...

I'd say that's the point in time where we became relevant.

 

[drumrcraig]

666 all time wins? I guess they really are Satan after all.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

I saw it on the twitter machine a few days ago.

You have to give them credit. They understand the importance of marketing and getting their spin on any situation out and they do an outstanding job of it. Much as I hate to say it, this is just one more example. Of course the numbers for the last 25 years are very different. But few casual observers or recruits are going to care to find that out.

 

[00Dawg]

Do it for the last 18 years. Add the caption "since you were born".

Since it's for recruits. Also, throw in the % of current roster stat.

Here's one since 1992 I think...

I see they are still claiming the 3 bogus national titles. They have never won 1 much less 3. But...like other things today, if you say it often enough, it become a fact....whether it is true or not.

 

[FlotownDawg]

That would have to be since 1991 at least, since it says we have two SEC basketball titles. We shared a title in 91 (thanks to UK being on probation) and won it outright in 2004.

 

[HotMop]

I can stand behind this.

 

[HotMop]

That asterisk on FB SEC Titles has to sting the Bears.

 

[HotMop]

I self identify as a champion, therefore I AM a Champion.

 

[coach66]

They are masters of spin no doubt. This is a great example combined with the

never ending Magazines ranking them the most awesomest town and people on the planet. It gets old but not to them.

My post was in reference to the OM PR campaign .. 'Mississippi Made' that's intended to sway the outstanding 2019 crop of HS Seniors. In the past 6+ years they haven't cared one iota about signing Mississippi kids. This is what they are saying..

Nakobe Dean out of Horn Lake, Miss., has the made the trek down to the Oxford campus so many times he can't count them all up. His older bother, Nicholas, is a sophomore at Ole Miss.
The Rebels have made a slogan for their program called "Mississippi Made". Part of that identity is gathering the majority of the prospects in the Magnolia state for the '19 class.

"They reiterated to me on the visit that I have a lot of pull with a lot of the players in Mississippi this year. They already have some of us committed. They are trying to get everybody to play together so we can go win a national championship with Mississippi boys. I think we could dominate if we all stayed home.

 

[patdog]

The magazines rank the town so highly because they do such a good job of selling it. I've been there. The square is pretty cool and it does beat our downtown (which has gotten a LOT better in the last 20 years), but lots of towns have a pretty cool downtown district. The rest of the town isn't much different than Starkville.

 

[BossDawg78]

Damn, those 846 trips to the Independence Bowl back before most of us were born sure is impressive!!!1!
