Mississippi State fanbase

[BigDawg81]

For the past decade or more, fans have complained about the atmosphere and attendance at basketball games. Now that attendance and atmosphere are back, we have fans wants people to sit down at games. It is the older crowd that wants fans to sit down, shut up and we are spoiled.

She is a loon. I truly wish she would stop coming to State sporting events. She complains about everything. I have had her muted on Twitter for about 5 years but I still see some the crap she says because she will go after other State fans who do not agree with her viewpoint.

[BigDawg81]

Yea, She DM me with her long explanation that I shot down. Her and the bus driver must be besties

[Tater]

Go sit at home and watch on TV if you want an unobstructed view of the game. Being at the game is about the experience of the setting and soaking in the atmosphere. TV is if you want to watch the perfect view and see everything perfectly in the game. Being mad at people showing emotion in the crowd, especially fans of the home team, is just being a self-centered main character. Go watch golf or tennis, if you'll notice - those players skew snobby and spoiled, so probably right up your alley of company you want to keep. Basketball, baseball, football... not your crowd so why are you here taking a seat away from someone who'd actually enjoy being at the game.

[DEDawg]

Thats so embarsssing. I?m sure she has no shame though. Entitled ass woman

[KOdawg1]

I know Mary. She's at every game and bleeds maroon.

That doesn't mean she's not an idiot though. I guess every fanbase has these fans, but damn, our's seem to be loud and extra annoying.

[LC Dawg]

Mary's a loon but there are a lot more people that think like her. I've been yelled at to sit down many times at basketball games.

It is just a bad take and that is it. Her and other guy name Benny Keith ( must be her husband) are dying on that hill. It is what it is.

Her making a bad take is one thing, but she should've just deleted the tweet when it started to blow up to save herself from any more bashing. I hate an elderly lady is getting bullied on the internet, but she did it to herself and she's even doubled down on it.

[BigDawg81]

She is getting destroyed on X. Hell, she even DM me with her case. Of course, I am not having it. This is almost as bad when Everett posted the Saban video and told fans that they were spoiled

Unironically, Zac Selmon could win a whole lot of fanbase favor by publicly praising that kid and saying that he and Coach Jans want people showing emotion and passion for our top 10 basketball program. Someone still on twitter DM him and ask him to weigh in his thoughts.

[Todd4State]

If she doesn't like it then she needs to stand up and cheer. She'll be able to see better.

It's crazy to me that fans would go to a sporting event and be upset about fans cheering.

This isn't an opera.

[Brobi-wan]

She’s an old horse lady. Horse people are worse than addicts. At least the addicts have excuses to be as looney as they are.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Everyone that has a ticket to a game is allowed to stand up. If you don?t like it, get a seat closer.

Yep. But he won?t. He should simply be, ?To those that complain about people standing up for a good team?.DO BETTER and stand up.?

Ah, this is where your whole argument for a ticket falls apart. The ticket is for a seat not for a standing room only area. While it is customary to stand at particular exciting times during a game, standing the whole game or even a large portion thereof is obnoxious for those sitting behind you. You can actually cheer and clap sitting as well as standing - I know, a novel concept for you young jug heads. How would like to be sitting next to the Vanderbilt whistler? He is not blocking anyones view but he sure is obnoxious and decreases the enjoyment of others attending the game, according to popsters on this site, and so it is for those who do not or cannot stand 100 times during a game.

Is attending a game only for the under 35 crowd? If it is for the under 35, then donations will decrease dramatically as it is usually the older population that has the disposable income to meaningfully contribute to college sports - think about that all of you NIL guys.

It has been noted in this post that the lady in question, that complained, is older and maybe she or her husband cannot "physically" stand up after every play. What ever happened to common decency or manners where we at least try to not piss off others sitting around us at a game. Common courtesy is a thing of the past - yuck!

Stay at home francis. Common courtesy is understanding that you who purchased one ticket do not matter more than the other 10K folks.

Buy courtside or stay at home if you want an unobstructed view.

The lady in question is an ass. I am tired of being nice about it. We need to rid the fanbase of people like her, and her specifically. She thinks she is hot shit because she won a ladies football clinic combine like 4 years ago. She consistently bashes fans who do not share her opinion and just doubles down when people call her out. It is nauseating.

It is one thing to ask a kid to sit down because you cannot see because you cannot stand. It is another thing to post about it on Twitter and think you are hot shit and people are going to agree with you. It is worse to then double down on it when people say your take is dumb as hell. Everyone around her needs to stand the entire time at the next game. She is the exact type of person that will pull a Karen and try to get them thrown out.

[gtowndawg]

It's odd that she complained but it's REALLY odd she tagged Cam Matthews in the tweet? Did she think he would respond telling people to sit down and stop getting excited?

[Gutter Cobreh]

It's odd that she complained but it's REALLY odd she tagged Cam Matthews in the tweet? Did she think he would respond telling people to sit down and stop getting excited?

It's pretty obvious looking at her Twitter feed. She is only upset because she posts clips of nearly every bucket made and the kid was messing up her video. She couldn't get clear shots on some baskets, and that made her mad.

I don't know her, nor follow her on Twitter - but the comparison to the bus driver seems appropriate. Both seem to think they're some sort of self-appointed fan ambassador or something.

[Todd4State]

That is weird. Like what does she expect him to do? Why would he give a rip?

MSU seems to have a larger percentage of fans like that than others. I think it has to do with fans coming from a small town and whatever MSU does is basically the pinnacle of their sports watching life.

[Pinto]

She?s an ass at baseball games as well. Does stupid softball chants the whole time and doesn?t understand a thing about the game. She and the bus driver are holding MSU back.

[DeputyDawg94]

Maroon Karen has an entitlement issue. If we want the Hump to rock and be a real home court advantage like it used to be the fans need get excited. The bus driver does have some of the same issues.

She is 100x worse than Everett, and that is saying A LOT. At least Everett has given something of tangible value to the university.

[Choctaw Dawg]

Yeah this needs to be nipped in the bud before we have blue hairs getting really upset over this. At Kentucky they have game attendants go tell younger people that are standing up in the blue hairs section to sit down constantly while the older crowd is sitting on their thumbs not making any noise and that fanbase is really at odds with each other over that.

I think the response has nipped it in the bud. 99.9% of people have told her she is a blue haired Karen and needs to get over it. I do think it would be humorous if Jans came out and said we need everyone on their feet for 60 minutes on Saturday.

[GeoDawg]

Let me see if I can moderate this discussion some. Not trying to exacerbate the situation and I'm definitely not trying to stand up for MarronMary. Heck, I would be standing and cheering as much as I could if I was able to come. Just trying to add some perspective.

When I was younger I thought my parents were insane and I loved loud music. The older I've gotten the smarter my parents have become and I can't stand loud music. It's not that I don't like music, it's that it physically hurts when it's loud now. With that said for some older folks it's physically impossible to stand for.long periods of time. Just saying.

So, I'm sure the older folk would love to have courtside seats if they can afford it to have an unobstructed view. However if they did, aren't those the coveted seats that the students are demanding. And, older folk are more prone to not coming to games for weather and health related reasons (empty seats).

So do you want old folk to come to the game or not? Or do you just prefer that they wander off and die? I really don't think thats what you want. I was always taught by my parents, who keep getting smarter, to respect your elders. They've earned it.

[Pancho]

marron karen ( mary) is actually trying to video portions of games and often times to video each basket and then post it on social media cuz she thinks she's that important. this has zilch to do with respecting elders. she doesn't come close to respecting a soul from what I've seen of her.

"We want the old people's money that have payed the bills for years- but they better stop wanting to have a say on anything"

She is terrible and needs to stfu but there is fine line with respect for people that have spent money for years to have us where we are now

I live 3 hours from Starkville. After I graduated in '93 I would routinely drive to Starkville for midweek basketball and drive back home after the game. Did this for probably 10 years before kids, work, and life made it difficult. I may try it this year but even if my old ass made the drive it would be difficult for me to stand a majority of the game. But it would be stupid for the current version of me to yell at a younger version of me who can stand a lot.
We talk about younger generations being spoiled but older generations can be pretty spoiled too.

[NCMSTFAN]

Ive seen her on Twitter for years, I normally don't have a problem with her post but that was a terrible post, what made it worse was she defended it!

Do people really expect everyone to sit down the entire game?

Absolutely!! I'm often accused of having become a crotchety old man and saying things that offend people. That's OK. Heck, I'm offended by some of the things that I say. LOL.

[Todd4State]

And I'm 99% sure that she has ZERO clue that those softball chants annoy people around her as much as the guy flexing annoys her.

AND I bet if you told her to stop the softball chants she would probably tell you that she can do what she wants at a game. Ironic isn't it?

[Todd4State]

She is 100x worse than Everett, and that is saying A LOT. At least Everett has given something of tangible value to the university.

That whole thing with him is weird too. Like did he just show up one day to McArthur Hall and tell Polk "Hey! I'm the bus driver!" and Polk just went along with it?

It's pretty crazy that he claims that he started the LFL too. He really believes it. Completely delusional.

Before every game they make an announcement over the loudspeakers about what is acceptable behavior. The "no obscene language towards players, officials, blah, blah, blah" speech. To me that kind of outlines what is and isn't acceptable at a game for all ages.

I don't recall "no flexing your muscles" in the speech. Plus, this fan was not even in the row in front of her. He was like at least 2-3 rows down.

And to be fair I don't recall "no softball chants" in the speech either. And that would maybe annoy me. I would probably ignore it since it's an elderly female. I sure as hell wouldn't take it to Twitter and tag a MSU athlete about it.

[Tater]

Pretty simple. If you go to a 10K+ person event, some are gonna stand and some are gonna sit.

Is it mandatory for you to stand? No.

If you're at a concert and in the pit and try to sit.. lol.

Go sit up high. Go sit courtside. Go sit at home. *IF* someone else standing up during/after big plays and pivotal moments is a problem for you.

If you need to sit, but it's not a problem for you that some others stand, then by all means come.



Someone said this is a more-MSU thing but no, it's actually a post covid thing. A lot of folks got spoiled and entitled by sparse seating and watching stuff perfectly at home and now expect the game to be "a better version of home." Thats not at all the case.

Literally explained it to a coworker that moved from India (and got his legal formal citizenship). Theres different sections to every sporting event. Usually upper/mid/lower levels. At his first NASCAR race, it was pretty apparent to see the differences in the 3 because we moved around.

Upper Level - see the whole track, best for watching the game if you truly care to watch the actual sport.
Lower Level - experience the event, best for people wanting to feel the energy of a massive event (lots of standing happens here).
Mid Level - typically best of both worlds and reserved for suites very commonly.

This ladies problem is she wants the view of the upper level and to eliminate the experience of the lower level. Just stay home if that's the case.

There seems to be some confusion about my post. I thought I made it clear that I wasn't trying to defend the idiot in question but make a more general statement about the complexities of getting old. The idiot is an idiot no doubt.

However while the majority of the posts have focused on the idiocy of the idiot, a few have slid into the realm of bashing "old folks". Even the OP mentioned old folks in his post. Idiots come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. I seem to remember a few 17 to 20 year olds (young folks) throwing bottles at the referees at a particular Kentucky game a few years ago. Again idiots will be idiots. I've been an idiot a time or two myself as I'm sure all of you have.

Anyway, all I'm saying is try to be respectful regardless of age. If you can't be, go ahead and be obnoxious and rude. It's your right to be an idiot apparently.

Eh, your alternative you laid out to everyone having to sit down was letting old people wander off and die. No one has even hinted at anything like that.

Obviously your tastes change as you get older. The issue is that Maroon Karen thinks her tastes matter more than everyone else's.

I said the older crowd. I mean with Mary and Everett telling fans that they are spoiled, I think that?s the same category. If it was the middle aged or younger crowd, I would do the same. I am just going to tell Cam Matthews that he cannot flex anymore after a 2 hand jam. Cam and Mary must be close since she tagged him in her tweet.

She thought that would go better. That's how arrogant she is. She thinks she's more important to Mississippi State than she is. It's just like a lot of these twitters accounts that because they have a couple of thousand followers they can influence change at Mississippi State. We need more Brooks Bryant's and less Maroon Mary's.

Well and the last time it went poorly for her was when she went after Brooks Bryant. He was trolling her and she was just completely oblivious to it. It was something about a national anthem if I remember correctly.

[BigDawg81]

She threatened to block me haha. I?m like ok and that is fine

[StarkVegasSteve]

Just mute her. It's a lot better. Then you can just glance when she inevitably does something dumb like this but don't have to keep seeing it when she tries to drag it on for the next week. Because trust me, she will. She'll have some smart ass tweet on Saturday and she'll get raked over the coals once again.

[Pancho]

she reminds me of ole piss fans in the grove who simply think they are something due to being in ones presence.
