They have a history of screwing towns by hardballing them into building stadiums.

They apparently have a history of screwing high school boys out of money.

Their announcer made a smartass comment about Johnathan Holder going to Mississippi State the other night, "ewww" or something, when the other guy mentioned 'More Cowbell'.

I am not sure I want to be a fan anymore.

1. Yes, they do. As a fan, that bugs me.
2. What history? We don't really know anything about what happened with Stewart, but that's the only instance I can think of, and that one is a stretch depending on what really happened.
3. Chip is a Georgia fan. He makes similar comments all the time about Georgia Tech and other SEC schools. I have a lot of problems with Chip, namely that he sucks, but this wasn't one of them. I was watching when he made that comment, and I was thinking it was good for fans of other SEC teams to have kind of opinion of us. It is much better than us sucking so bad that they don't pay any attention to us.

Too late for that now. I grew up watching both and ultimately chose the Braves. It would be too bandwagon of me to jump on the Cubs now, 2 years after winning a title. I could not live with myself. I think I am more of a White Sox guy anyway. I kind of like the Nationals too.

At the end of the day, I really only about MSU players in the pros.

When you haven't won a playoff series in 16 years ,have one world title in 60 years, you have to have a little pity for fans cheering for that organization.

As far as announcers go, they were very complimentary of our run while
in Ohmaha. Frenchy brought it up a lot. Joe is an Oklahoma fan, the team we slapped twice in Tallahassee.
