I only rarely look over on Twitter anymore due to the cesspool of politics and virtue-shaming it has become. But it sure looks like Hadad is enjoying himself lately.
Hadad's Holy Twitter War

People questioning if Brian is True Maroon is in the same vein of those that questioned Matt Wyatt. It's absolutely crazy. They are idiots.
Social media. Gives voice to all the crazys too 17n lazy to soapbox on street corners as tradition dictates.
Jumping into twitter on a crusade is like diving into a septic tank to clean it with a soup strainer

Yeah those people are absolute morons. HD6 is probably my favorite MSU "media personality" and I don't think I have ever disagreed with his takes.
I don't know what Hadad is doing/saying on Twitter but I think it is absolutely fair to question Matt Wyatt. For a guy that supposedly represents Mississippi State, and who is (at least indirectly) paid by the university, he sure fell all over himself trying to carry Ole Miss'/Hugh Freeze's water not that long ago. And he sure goes out of his way to profile rival players and institutions on his YouTube channel. If he's trying to be an independent media personality, fair enough... resign your MSU job and go be a media personality.
But don't take money from MSU while pimping other schools/players. I can't remotely imagine a radio personality from another SEC school going out of their way to promote MSU like he does with other schools.

I don't get that. Maybe he wants to make more $$$ than just his MSU income. And how is he promoting? He is breaking down plays. I enjoy them even if they are of other teams.
100% agree and I genuinely like Matt. I roll my eyes at the things he says sometimes but at he end of the day I'd sucker punch somebody to defend him.
The idea that you can't be a State fan without liking the cowboys is the most ridiculous take I've ever heard. I 17ing hate the Cowboys. I did before Dak got there and will continue after he is gone.
This only is a problem if his analysis is hurtful to MSU, but it's not. It might be hurtful to some of our fan's insecure sensibilities, but he shouldn't have to worry about that.
I'm sure Matt Wyatt aspires to grow in his career as a radio personality/college football analyst. Be glad that we have someone in that medium that loves Mississippi State and is always going to show us favor, instead of being critical of him for reporting news or analyzing a good player from a team we hate.
Can you imagine Sid Salter writing a press release about how great some research project at Alabama or Georgia is? Of course not, because Sid is paid by Mississippi State and he represents Mississippi State's interests.
Matt is also paid by Mississippi State but he apparently doesn't have any qualms about taking money to talk about other schools. In that situation, I think it's fair to question his loyalties.
And, again, don't forget about his recent love affair with Hugh Freeze/Ole Miss.

One thing I have noticed just from message boards is that if you approach a conversation about certain teams, unbiased without a maroon tint, you get accused of being a troll and a fan of the team you are giving facts about. It has happened to me several times.
The issue is that Matt isn't just some fan on a message board. He is paid to represent Mississippi State. If there is anyone who should have a maroon tint to what he does, it's him.
Not agreeing or disagreeing with you but I believe that Matt calls State games for Learfield Sports/ SEC Network and doesn't actually work for the university.
He is technically employed by Learfield, who has a contract with the university. But the university basically has veto power over who Learfield hires for those "on-air" positions so it essentially amounts to the same thing as if he were hired directly by the university.
But if his job is to call MSU games for Learfield how does talking about other football teams affect his ability to do that?
Mississippi State is not a full time job for Wyatt whereas for Sid - it is. Did you know Jack Cristil had another job outside of his MSU duties? Also Jim Ellis did as well.
I just enjoy the NFL and really have no allegiances. But as a Cardinals fan if Rooker played for the Cubs I'd want him to strike out every time we faced him. I know Rooker isn't the all time MSU great that Dak is but I have no problem with Hadad's stance. The Saints and Cowboys will only play each other twice a season at most so I don't see why the two hafta be mutually exclusive.
Your premise is wrong
He is not paid to represent MSU. He is paid by a third party to provide color commentary for a game. If he were an SID, or assistant AD, you may have a point, but you don't because he is not.

To me, the Cowboys/Saints thing should have lighthearted ribbing at best
Hell, I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan, and I think it's idiotic to expect anyone to root against their own team.
Steve, for example, did a good job keeping the teasing fun. Some people are idiots and let the internet get the best of them.

He defends the **** out of MSU and did it with super talk. You have no idea what you are talking abt.
He doesn’t work for super talk anymore partly bc of his love for MSU.

I don't follow Hadad on Twitter, so don't know anything about his "Holy War". I do question how anybody can stand to have to deal w/ Richard "The Dick" Cross and Michael Borkey every day though w/out ***** slapping them through the microphone.....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Hadad have a problem with cornbread? If so, that man needs some culture in his life.
Hell some people get on here and post something that some idiots get bent out of shape about and then he gets accused of being a troll.
You really shouldn't call Matt and Hadad idiots! You go and hurt somebodies feelings and you might get banned****
Sid Salter has always been a Bulldog. From way back to his days at the Scott County Times you knew where Sid stood. Wyatt is from Alabama. Wyatt married into an Ole amiss fAmily. Wyatt has been the submissive in every Pro-State situation he has found himself in. The criticism of Wyatt has some founding.
Now... the NFL question...
When I was a kid in the 1980's, my favorite team was the Bears because they had Walter Payton and Walter Payton was an amazing player and he was from Mississippi, just like me.
The Saints were ... ok. Growing up in Northeast Mississippi, New Orleans seemed like a world away though. I didn't dislike the Saints and I wanted them to do well, but in the same way I wanted Southern Miss to do well.
Walter Payton retired. My uncle was a Roger Staubach guy, so he liked the Cowboys and I kind of adopted them in the 1990's.
Then... they kind of broke my innocence. Cocaine, assaults, Jerruh packing pistols at the airport... The (admittedly totally unfair) hero measure I held athletes to was torched and I never forgave them for that. In fact, I became an active Cowboys hater.
Honestly, I kinda lost the NFL for a while after that...
I became a teenager and Tennessee got a team... and by the time they became the Titans... They were good. Damn good. And I grew up right on the TN state line. Literally. Plus, their quarterback was a guy from Mississippi, like me.
I moved to Dallas in 2003. A Titans fan (that liked the Saints) and hated the Cowboys. I also started liking the Saints a lot more after they picked up Drew Brees (when we yelled at Jeremy Shockey on the sideline mid-game, I became a fan).
When Dak got drafted, there were two nightmare spots for me: Cleveland and Dallas.
Cleveland because pfffft there went his career.
Dallas because I was going to have some tough choices to make.
I found some solace in the idea that outside some preseason games and garbage time, I wasn't going to have to deal with it. Thennnnn Kellen Moore went down... Thennnn Romo went down... and Dak started setting the world on fire.
Then it was like... ok... Dak's success is the Cowboys' success moreso than, say, Slay's success is Detroit's success or Cox's success is Philly's success. I want Fletcher Cox to get all the sacks and I want Darius Slay to get all the interceptions, but I don't want either of them to sack or intercept Dak.
Last season, Dak had a rough year. He started this season rough too and the media was coming down on him hard. Some of it was justified, some of it wasn't.
Being out here though, I'm weirdly protective of Dak... It's like listening to the radio and hearing people talking **** about your nephew or 3rd cousin... So yeah, I want Dallas to beat a 10-1 Saints team and I want it to be because Dak had a good night. One of our guys is in one of the most visible positions in all of sports and I want him to kill it.
For that to happen, he'll have to beat some teams and players I'd normally root for.
And when the Cowboys eventually do him dirty, I'll probably go back to hating them.

That's the way he has always been. Now does he have a different responsibility as being a member of the media - that's up to you. But for me, I'd rather him be genuine.
Get out of town with this.....He didn't carry the water for Hugh Freeze. He was told in confidence something by someone he thought to be an honest person (Freeze/Bjork) and heavily criticized both of them on air when he found out they led him in the wrong direction. He got duped and admitted it on air many many times.
I automatically discredit anyone who claims Matt or Brian are "not true maroon". Both of them have devoted their careers to covering MSU sports in different but unique and interesting ways. Dak is my favorite player in the NFL, and the Saints are my team. Am I not true maroon for pulling against the Cowboys?
Hadad seems to have taken a page out of Neal Mcreadys book since he joined supertalk. He will throw some garbage take out there to seem like he’s less biased. The Dak/saints thing was a prime example. Nothing wrong with cheering for your team to beat the cowboys. What pissed people off were him saying he would cheer every interception if he threw 5 of them. The saints could beat the cowboys without dak throwing 5 picks. Dak playing well is always gonna be great publicity for state. I’ll never cheer a state players struggles no matter who they play for. That’s ridiculous.
I am the exact same way he is. Thats why I love his projects. I'm as "State through and through" as anyone out there... But ****, I'm not going to smile and act like things are peachy when I perceive that they are not. YES I over react sometimes but so does everyone in their own way.
There was a large section of our fanbase that would have let Croom stay rent free at Mississippi State just because he was a "good man" and had "cleaned up the program" (debatable) for the rest of his career. That just isn't me. I like that he is genuine and prefer it that way. He, Wyatt, and Walker are all different... And I love all of their programs. After listening to all three after a game, I usually find myself agreeing with each of their points of view on things even though they very greatly.

I always cheer for State players, just hope that my “teams” beat them when they are head to head. ie “I Hope Rooker hits 3 bombs when he plays team xxx but they lose the game”
I think it’s a part of becoming mainstream media. Jake and Bo do the same types of things and both went to MSU. I think Hadad tries too hard to be centric now that he works for Super Talk. No doubt Hadad is a big MSU fan. Some of his comments though have justifiably received negative feedback. It’s just the way it came across. Dak success is a huge deal for MSU for marketing, recruiting, and for program prestige for the foreseeable future. Wishing for Dak to throw 5 interceptions is bad for MSU. What the saints do has no affect on MSU until they draft a huge profile player from MSU. Hadad can cheer for the saints to win and be successful all he wants. At the same time he can be criticized for wanting a state alumni and notably the face of MSU football alumni to do very poorly. Especially in a year in which that player needs to do well for his future in the NFL. I just think it’s funny the amount of people that think they have to defend him. He’s a big boy and can defend himself. You are free to your own opinions and fandom and others are free to have their opinion on your fandom and takes. If someone says Dak should throw 5 interceptions, they open themselves up for a lot of criticism from State fans who want Dak to have a successful career. I agree some might have crossed the line with attacks. That’s what happens though when you are putting opinions out on public forums. I’ve taken a lot of crap from Bama fans on Twitter because of tweets I have posted about Saban or Bama. Just part of it
