Fitz really showed out last year didn't he?
That?s about as good as it gets! Great work!
Good stuff. Tyrone Keyes, Johnnie Cooks, and Billy Jackson on the same sack.......wow.
Pretty bad-A
I always struggle with the Croom era uniforms. Were they that bad or the did the athletes in them make them look that bad?
Same thing with Bama uniforms. Are they that good or do 5* just make uniforms look better?
Either way, we are clearly more athletic nowadays and yestadays
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was awesome. Someone should definitely acknowledge making it.
It’s it’s pretty unreal when you look at where we are today to look back and see how mismanaged we were.
LT is from the same lineage of those that decided to not put a major university near Jackson, that drew state lines that somehow managed to not include Memphis, Mobile, or New Orleans, all of which are near our borders, and decided to have 3 major universities and others in a state this small.
We just didn’t know how terrible he was at the time because we didn’t know different. Looking back, it’s just mind boggling how terrible MSU football and athletics in general were run for 80 years.
Say what you want about Doc Fogelsong, but the man destroyed the good ole boy system at our school and changed everything.
Great song choice.
Oh, I can't wait for Thursday. I hope Mullen and company are on a mission to make a statement about the "state" of things in this state now!
We played in Baton Rouge 25 times out of 30 years in football at one point. If people couldnt figure out we were mismanaged- they are morons
No doubt & we also hardly ever played home games that would've allowed the rural town we are located in to grow up
And to add to this:
Dan Mullen is an exceptional football coach, but he is also capitalizing off a university & athletic program that was so pathetically run for 80 years, that it's fan & the media don't totally comprehend exactly what the potential of the program is.
It's very unique situation when your program was run by neanderthals for 80 years
That was badass. What happened to Derek Cody (I think that was the guy)? He was making some bad-ass hype vids a few years back, then they just stopped.
The main difference is $$$$$$. It also helps that we have a MSU man that bleeds maroon in the President's office. The old IHL dominated by the folks up the road fought tooth and nail for a long time to keep that from happening. Ending their domination there helped every institution in the state, including Ole Miss.
This is a good answer.
To add, I also think things lasted so long simply because no one knew any different & accepted the excuses of MSU being an outpost in a small town, with a small stadium, is never on tv, etc.
Now you look up & see that MSU is able to build a top 25 college football program with 3 9 win seasons over our last 4 years, & 8 straight bowl games, on the backs of a roster in which the average player is from only 170 miles away from Starkville & it's very reasonable to ask: "Why the hell was this so hard?" Not saying MSU should be a national championship contender or a blue blood, but, with that much local talent, how did MSU manage to mostly suck at football for 100 years?
Never forget that we are the school that didn't recruit Walter Payton, Steve McNair, Brett Favre, & had Jerry Rice living in Starkville & didn't recruit him. It's mindbogglingly ridiculous that happened & I just can't imagine it happening any longer.
Again, it's mind boggling & now that we've tasted sustained success & understand how it happened, I can't imagine we ever go back to anything close to the LT days.
This chart is fascinating to me & makes me wonder how we didn't accidentally become good at football.
