You would think poorly of a man who honors his dead coach?

Poor form on your part.

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

The real slap in the face is that he didn't wear a Mississippi State uniform out there on the field.**

I can't fathom how much stupidity has come of this completely insignificant issue.

Issues like this don't really create stupidity, they just make it obvious in whom it resides.

I want that bumper sticker.

 

[Apoplectic_Objurgator]

Well actually your ignorance of my apathy toward anything nfl is stupid.

Great halftime show. Do the play D in the nfl or is this their new arena league model?

I don't think you know what apathy means

Every day life is really tough for some of you. I mean if that is what has you triggered two days in a row, it must be tough.

First, let me just say that Fletcher has the right to introduce himself how he likes for whatever reason. However, I will say that nobody across the nation knows why he is doing that and most would probably think its because he has some beef with his college. I mean, if you remember, Tommy Kelly used to do the same thing to us and it wasn't because he was honoring anyone.

Nobody else across the country would give two ***** what college he attended... Whether he said it or not. Do you care at all about how Aaron Donald introduces himself on the introductions? Do you even know? What about the outrage when Jared Allen claimed The Culinary Academy? Litteraly the only people that care are the fans of the school.. nobody else will ever notice.

It's a non issue.. wake me up when we have a player win the Heisman and fail to mention.

I don't know why he couldn't say Yazoo City High School and Mississippi State University. That wouldn't take much more air time.

No way they allow that. If one did it they'd all do it and the intros would double in length.

It's such a non-issue. Please take that to heart all who seem to think it matters to MSU's welfare in some way.

My favorite intro of all time was when Greg Hardy introduced himself as “The Kraken. Hogwarts.” Of course Greg Hardy probably actually thinks he is the Kraken and did attend Hogwarts.

Exactly. The only folks that seem to care are MSU people and OM fans, bc rent free and such.

Not saying anyone not affiliated with MSU is going to "care". That's not the point. Point is, since 99% of the players say where they attended college, when a player chooses to NOT name his college most people are just going to assume that that player, whoever it is, has some beef with his college. That's certainly what I would think. But no, they don't care just like we wouldn't care if he had not attended the school we root for.

I have seen multiple (20 or more)guys do this very same thing this year - state their high school team and not their college. A good player will have a chance to say where he went to school a hundred times over his career.


I guess we could beat him up enough about this that he never goes back to saying MSU, Or perhaps he could just only say MSU to make us happy and most of the 100 non-Mississippi State folks (nationwide) who listen to what he says would think he went to Michigan.

I heard a guy say "School of hard knocks" a few years back. Had a nice laugh and went right on with life. Thought absolutely nothing about any animosity he might have had against anyone.

Have you heard? The nfl game sucks. Halftime show wasn’t bad.

To be honest, the first time I heard it I just assumed he had some issue with MSU. Maybe I'm just jaded from the days when Tommy Kelly refused to claim MSU. Now after I heard the explanation it made more sense but other than people posting the reason on this board I would have had no clue as to why he is stating Yazoo City rather than MSU.

I have never watched an NFL halftime show or a superbowl halftime show. I guess I am sorry you wasted your time watching it, but that is your problem for wasting your time.

I did watch most of the game and thought it was a scoring duel that, since I had no real pony in the race was a pretty good way to spend the early evening. I did like seeing the WartHog A-10 they including he flyover. Made me feel good seeing it a part of the military display.

In my mind, watching just to see that plane again was OK. Awesome war plane! I am always proud of it.

Oh yes - The Medal of Honor Winners! Very special inclusion in the pregame activities! So proud of them and their service as I am of all of our military servicemen and women. IMO they represent a long line of heroes and they represent them well.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

That the first postive vibe I've ever felt for GH. Funny

Yeah, I liked that too ... great plane. But didn't I read a couple years ago where the plane is being retired? That, and a flyover in a domed stadium might not make a lot of sense. Nobody inside the stadium can see it ... maybe a bit through the glass, but certainly not like being outside.

I see the Fletcher Cox issue both ways:

On the main hand, it's a complete non-issue & he has the right to honor & say what he wants. That's 99% of my feeling.

However, there is the 1% of me that is a little frustrated that MSU have been waiting for years & years to have stars in the NFL & Super Bowl only to see that star not mention the school.

If we were Bama, LSU, USC, Ohio State, etc, there shouldn't be any issue because those schools don't need any publicity. However, for MSU fans, I can see where it's disappointing.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Usually Al Michaels will mention the college after the intros if players use their high school. He didn't this time.


I was thinking we should put a marketing billboard congratulating Fletcher Cox on his super bowl win. I can't remember if 49 has any billboards in Yazoo.
