I have a plan, guys.

We need IMPP to catfish Kiffin.

Slide into those DMs. Use the right pictures. Bring Joey Freshwater bubbling to the surface. Let him express himself freely.

Then, Mike Leach's Twitter will be old news.

Again I haven't accused him. Do you guys do anything other than project? You obviously lack reading comprehension skills.

I believe it was a harmless... I also believe it was stupid and demonstrates a clear lack of awareness for his job and his audience. And apparently people have reacted to it based on their perceptions. We can't do anything about how they react, now can we?

I like Leech. I want him to win here and I believe he can. You guys are the ones who seem to be getting even more offended.

Is it just me or is this whole Leach tweet reaction just ridiculous?

Saw a post from Jamont Gordon calling for his job. I know it was said here, but these whiny bitches need to grow a pair and tuffin up. I’m over this countries population being offended by every 17’n thing. Jesus H

Rant over. Continue on

Has the country as a whole gotten softer...Yes but after thinking about it the fact that people can no longer respect someone with an opposite opinion to theirs is also playing a massive role in this.

If it’s funny to you ok great I can see why it’s funny, if you’re offended ok I can see why you’re offended. Calling people out for it is beyond ignorant...agree to disagree and go eat a doughnut

If the season doesn't get canceled, we're screwed. Leech needs to be calling players and creating a dialogue if not flat out begging for forgiveness. He better get off social media and set an example for the team.
It may have been an innocent move on his part, but it was also an idiot move. Should've had more sense than that.
And all you angry old white guys need to get woke. our players have opinions. Strong ones. Live with it or go play checkers with your old white friends while listening to American Family Radio.

Uh, you wouldn't happen to live in Jackson, would you?

Nobody said it was racist... certainly not in its intent. But it was pretty stupid, considering his new coaching position and the fact that everyone likes to get upset about **** now days. And he's supposedly a bright guy. So he should have known better.

He's apologized, yet some people are unwilling apparently to accept it. That's their prerogative and Leech and the rest of us will have to live with it.

I really hope this coming season gets cancelled.

That people were offended by his tweet says more about them than him. There was nothing wrong with his tweet. It wasn't even "insensitive". It was a joke. It was an old white woman joking about wanting to kill her husband. There were no racial overtones, no racial undertones, no racial inference, no racial context, no racial suggestion, no racial intent. Just a very vocal minority of idiots virtue signaling over the fact that she was knitting a noose.

Cancel culture warriors really need to make a list of **** that most of us normal people need to avoid mentioning so that we can live our lives without fear of lighting the outrage fuse.

Phone calls have probably already been made and most players that are dedicated to the program have gotten past it as seen in Aaron Brule’s tweet. Leach seemed genuinely ignorant that it would upset people, and I would think most of the players (and recruits) realize his ignorance. If Leach was a racist, it would have shown up by now and he definitely would not be coaching. Our fans reactions have thrown gasoline on it, and they just need to shut up. Leach’s apology speaks for itself and nothing further needs to be said by the fans.

It's actually very explainable. There are simply many in this country that feel gaining the sacred status of "victim" is their ticket to life's giving them something for nothing. It is literally a way of life to millions.

His he still in Azerbaijan playing ball? Didnt know they had internet there

Last I read, he had retired and returned to Nashville.
He is married and was investing in real estate development and also some sort of tourist transport rental business.

So...the opposite of your snarky post. Playing in italy, Russia, etc seems to have been a good experience, from afar at least.

I have no children.

This board has made me realize that the liberal bias at our universities has created a real issue in this country. Even at the most ardent Ag schools around like MSU.

If you find Leach's tweet racially offensive you are wrong in your way of thinking and need to reassess and change. Plain and simple. Grow the 17 up.

This board made you realize that? You are just associating one thing with another and finding connections.
I could do that with tons of things.
Ready?
Fox News has made me realize that the conservative bias in news reporting has created a real issue in this country.​

Total ******** both ways.

You don’t think the govt

It's very red-pulling. Just a heads up this will never end, it will always get worse as long as those that allow it to continue to do so. Communist level of speech control in America.

Has too much power when they are able to confiscate legally purchased possessions from private citizens without so much as charging them with a crime, but you think we are dealing with communist levels of speech control? That is surprising to me.

You still don’t think Fab Lovett thinks it was racist? You can’t be helped.

anything can be viewed as racist...if he feels threatened by that tweet...then HE can't be helped.... if he isn't happy with his situation, he should leave... I wish him well.... those who actually faced the KKK and fought the battles in the courts and at the ballot box are the ones who should be offended by people who take those sacrifices for granted.

It's right on point because he knows nothing about the tweet or the man yet says he needs to be fired. And yes, he wasn't good enough to play NBA so he plays overseas where no one knows who the hell he is. So, screw him

If most would keep their opinions to themselves on places like Twitter this **** would be a non issue. Yet we have some shitting on opinions of others and telling them how they should think. So many people need to learn to keep their mouths shut and not inject their opinions into others without the same experiences.

I thought the one thing that brought everyone on this board together was the shared belief that Lovett was going to quit anyway (as he was already threatening to under Moorhead) and is using this Tweet nontroversy as an excuse to leave. Guess not?

Using a noose is racist and anyone that does not get it is either ignorant or a racist prick. Pick one! Screw this State and it’s confederate state flag. Run son! Wish I could go too! Go anywhere but Just go! Take the whole damn team with you if you can! These pricks don’t deserve you! ******* Stupid racist pricks piss me off and I am tired of their ignorance. I am too old to be nice.

You have to be a politician to make two opposing statements and try to make us believe they are the same.

"Leech needs to be calling players and creating a dialogue if not flat out begging for forgiveness."

That sounds like he said something that was grossly negligent and intentional.

I believe it was a harmless... I also believe it was stupid and demonstrates a clear lack of awareness for his job and his audience.

This sounds like you are blowing this whole thing off as a mistake. OR, You think it wasn't a mistake but stupidity and the man is an insensitive moron. You obviously don't know anything about this man if this is your opinion. If you would take the time to listen to some things he has previously said or written you would realize the joke was about marriage in general... period.
I'm going to check out of this one and take my own signature advice below.

I would not be surprised to see Twitter eventually dropped by most ordinary people and considered a joke. I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook followed suit.

I personally think the improved clinch knot is the most racist of knots******
But what do I know? I’m ignorant.

It’s a 17ing way to tie a rope. The tweet alluded to the fact that the noose was for the husband. Many many people have died at the end of that knot. And guess what... not all of them were black. I am so 17ing sick of all the little sissy pu** ies that are being produced in this world.

They are athletes who didn’t like a tweet by our head coach. It’s not my place or yours to say how they should feel. If they don’t like it and want to move on they should but when idiots ***** about a players decision then they add to the problem. They don’t owe us anything and if they move on we find players who want to play here. Some of y’all need to quit thinking anyone should agree with you and maybe shut the hell up.

"You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails" - some smart person somewhere.

I can't control a liberal, a victim, or how they think. I tend to think it's just human nature and jealousy combined. But either way, you can control what you can control. Leach needs to think twice before he sends out things on social media - bottom line. He's famous, makes millions coaching football. He's got a target on his back. I have no idea why Jamont Gordon or KJ Wright would try to hurt MSU, seeing the doors that were open to them due to MSU. But I can't control them.

Leach - just look over your tweets before you hit the button.
