    Who turned off their TV

    I watched every inning. I had a feeling (which has been wrong a million times before), that we were right on the cusp, but nothing was going our way. Seemed like every close State pitch was a ball, and every close Auburn pitch was a strike. Every close call at first was going against us. And...

    Neal McCreddy: "The rivalry needs to take a year or two off."

    You know what's a bad look, fighting when you're down by 32 points. Regardless of who starts the fight, everyone nationally is going to assume the losing team instigated the fight.

    This win just pisses me off more

    100%. I often laugh at fans thinking they could call the plays, but it was that obvious the last two weeks. We could have easily beaten Florida and Kentucky had our play calling been at all responsive.

    Simply put, if our QB could read pressure, he'd know who's gonna be open, but

    I get that Fitz isn't reading the defense AT ALL, but at the same time, Florida was able to sell out the blitz (3rd and Grantham) because we didn't call a short pass play all night. Do we not have a screen in the play book? Quick outs? WR screen? Quick slants? Against Kentucky the 5 step...

    Buy/sell: We should hold Sylvester Croom in higher esteem

    Sell, sell, sell. I don't know why everyone acts like Croom inherited the Citrus State prison team from the Longest Yard. The players themselves were fine. The bigger issues were with Jackie's late career sanctions, but I don't think "not getting sanctioned" is anything to be commended. The...

    Buy/Sell: The fumble touchback is the dumbest rule in all of sports.

    It doesn't make any logical sense. Make it a penalty, 10 yards from the spot of the fumble.

    Taco Bell. Breakfast crunchwrap. There is no other legitimate contender for fast food breakfast champion. It's an entire breakfast (sausage, egg, hasbrown) wrapped in a tortilla. Fire sauce optional.

    So, are the craptastic dickheads on Bafoon

    PRESS RELEASE: August 13, 2046. After years of pressure from PETA and various animal rights groups, Mississippi State University has decided to drop the Bulldog mascot and discontinue the use of a live bulldog at games. After a student vote, a banana, the symbol which gained popularity during...

    So, are the craptastic dickheads on Bafoon

    I actually liked the bear. The story of Theodore Roosevelt and the "Teddy Bear" is a unique piece of Mississippi and American history that fit with the image of the school without being affiliated with the Civil War. Also, the marketability and appeal of a teddy bear to kids (the target...

    Original marketing from Florida! I wonder where they thought of this?

    I always thought there was an intentional double meaning there, too. Didn't the University use the tagline, "State of the Art," at one point? Another play on "state."

    Welcome to SPS, how tough are you?

    Dastardly Dan or The Kang?

    Mullen happened to take over during an era of college football that was absolutely unprecedented. Nationally, and especially in the SEC, there was a massive increase in brand exposure and money. A lot of Mullen's success happened as a result of that increase, though both he and the ADs should...

    So the University Trademarked Some Old Logos..

    I'll be interested to see how they plan to Trademark a logo that may have never been officially used by the University. It's never been registered with the Trademark office as best as I can tell.

    Billingsley to start on Friday.

    So, what's that mean for Joe Demers who is 3.69 in conference?

    I've heard people say this team was built for a park like TD Ameritrade

    Certainly feels a lot like the UCLA team we played in 2013. The size and orientation of the park almost totally neuters power hitting teams. Though we got lucky today with the wind direction favoring our grand slam.
