I normally wouldn't be this excited for MBB, but the football team is so frustrating.

Mike Leach & Matt Brock have neglected to get a decent special teams unit in place.
It's literally 1/3 of a successful team, and we suck at it.

Will Rogers throws for a ton of yards and the team still gets tagged with an L.

Auburn will win Saturday , because the league office wants them to. Watch how many ridiculous calls go against us. No, seriously, it will be obvious. They love the fact that Arkansas is competitive again, that's why they ignored the punch thrown by Burks, ignored the holding on Ty wheat on a play where he would have dropped KJ for a sack, and ignored the false start by the entire left side of the O-Line on the Hogs final TD.

I hope everyone will be able to downvote this post by mid-afternoon Saturday, but until then, my focus is on Howland and the Hoop Dawgs. Even though the officiating in b-ball may be even worse, if that's possible.

When we started this season we had no idea what we were going to get. That's people that thought we would be 8-4 of the other half that would be 2-10. We have been in every ball game we played except one and have improved as the season went on. We have been ranked. We have beaten ranked teams. Were you expecting us to challenge Alabama for the SEC West immediately?

I think most realistic fans expected 6-6 and that's where we will end up.

Agree that society is wrong in this day and age, but I have to agree with this guy. Anybody who doesn't believe that there is a concerted effort by the SEC to maintain the status quo of the "Haves" over the "have nots" must not have been following MSU and the league very long. It's been this way forever. It's like the old saying about the NCAA: "The NCAA got so mad at (fill in the blank - UA, AU, UF, UT) that they put MSU on probation." Same principle applies with the SEC.

I think you will be disappointed by this decision because I think the basketball team has a chance to be pretty good this year. It's the most excited I've been about basketball in a while.

My god, some of you need to realize you were born in the USA and by that fact alone, won the 17ing lottery. Quit yer bitching over MSU special teams vs MSU MBB.

Yeah, mens and women's. And that volley ball team...wow. I know we all like to ***** about Cohen but our athletics are looking up in a lot of sports.
