    What decision would you make?

    An absolutely idiotic strategy of running the line up the Central Valley instead of along I-5. And, of course, with CA being a one-party state, there will be no accountability for this boondoggle.

    Our NIL donors did their part. Lebby let them down.

    ”At times …”??? “… use NIL as a crutch…”. Talk about rationalizing the state of our program. If we don’t financially commit to winning in the SEC which we haven’t done yet despite what the OP says, we’re in for a lot more heartbreak.

    Our NIL donors did their part. Lebby let them down.

    Where do we rank again in NIL in the SEC? Why do you think we win with a replacement coach when our talent level is so far below the teams we have lost to?

    Buy or Sell - The loss last week has taken the excitement of what the first 4 weeks provided...

    Sell. We made so many mistakes and we still were in a position to win the game.

    Volleyball vs USA on now, ESPN App

    Girls volleyball has been huge in the Midwest. Small towns will support their own club volleyball team. The South pales in comparison although it has picked up a lot in the last 15 years. Mississippi high schools have the talent. They just need the coaching and development.

    Name a random Mississippi State basketball player...

    Oh he could dunk. Saw him dominate pickup games in the Tin Gym. But he just couldn’t keep up with the likes of Charles Barkley and Chuck Pearson.

    Chinese AI has stock future WAY down

    When I took a business trip to China, my company would not let me take my laptop and required me to take a burner phone instead of my normal cell phone.

    The effects of conference realignment gone mad.

    Cal has continually shot themselves in the foot. They have a huge quantity of olympic sports(water polo, gymnastics, rowing, etc.) they have to support with under performing football and basketball programs . Cost overruns on their stadium renovation, zero fanbase outside of their alumni, the...

    Good thread from the pay board - What's your unpopular State opinion?

    1) The time spent pining for the interlocking MSU logo is foolish. It was copied from Memphis State who had the same logo in the early 70s. 2) The Banner M is perfectly fine. 3) I wish the Walking Bully would go away
