State 1878

[Todd4State]

Looks like a pretty cool thing.

I'm not 100% on all the details but basically it is a site where MSU fans can pay- highest level is only 78 dollars a month and lowest is 10 dollars so pretty affordable- and then get exclusive content from players and behind the scenes stuff.

Charlie Winfield is managing it and Robbie Faulk is the content manager (or some title like that).

It looks like a portion of the fees go to MSU's NIL.

RIP Gene's Page

I noticed they have a message board. It will be interesting to see the impact on other MSU sites as well.

The Grift never sleeps

[Coach34]

I heard Faulk's on it- that means garbage. Them having a message board on it opens a huge can of worms also as we see in game threads and after losses on every other message board

[Tater]

This will be sunshine pumping the likes of which Gene's page could only dream of.


This is just another way to legally collect NIL.

Whats wrong with Faulk?

Yeah. I can't see Charlie letting Robbie act like he did when he was on Genespage. I've never been on On3 but I suspect it's more of the same. Or like he acts on Thunder and Lightning. He can't just go on a message board publicly supported by MSU and say that Chris Lemonis is going to be fired at the end of the year after we lose to Austin Peay. He can't be Temu Brandon Walker.

Getting Robbie off of Thunder and Lightning and On3 is probably a good thing for MSU honestly.

[KOdawg1]

On3 was awesome with Robbie and it'll be awesome without him. It's the only MSU board that isn't dying.

T&L is the #1 MSU podcast statistically and it isn't close so he acted fine.

Believe it or not, people appreciate honesty and not sunshine pumped up your ass.

[Quaoarsking]

If we are 1-3 (or even 2-2) at the end of September, they're not going to be able to enforce any kind of fake optimism in there.

Maybe we'll still be on a high after our CWS championship then though.

[Todd4State]

Whats wrong with Faulk?

He's by far the most confrontational media member MSU has with other MSU fans.

So this should be interesting.

There's a time and place for "honesty" and a way to handle it and do it.

If you believe that he will be able to just come out and say whatever I believe you're mistaken. If he does he won't last long. There are certain freedoms and leeway when you aren't officially affiliated with MSU. When you are affiliated with MSU then your opinion also becomes MSU's opinion. A moderator being overly critical of a coach is going to be frowned upon.

And Robbie did say some things that were not in MSU's best interests sometimes. He has had confrontations with MSU coaches over things he said in the past in private. Sure, Joe Fan MSU likes it because he says maybe what they're thinking and it feels good to be validated. But that doesn't mean it's good for MSU.

It also doesn't mean it's correct either.

It wasn't his job to do what was good for MSU. That's where you lose this argument.

[Brahmabull]

If Charlie is in charge of it, I trust him to keep RF in line.

You mean a dying board with like 12 active posters? Congrats I guess.

hilarious. If you think Faulk has a solid take on anything? It shows you are a moron

Your opinion means next to nothing to me, so it's good I don't care.

Wow- people I talk to laugh at Robbie. U cant be serious?

People have laughed at you for years. Get off your high horse Lee.

[Coach34]

This must be a bot explosian. Everybody I know laughs at Robbie and he is a joke. Surely people dont take him seriuosly? Wow I'm shocked. He is a ****ing moron

This site is here because of me. Eat a dick idiot

And it used to be a good board until you ran it into the ground. Back at ya fat boy.

[Todd4State]

It wasn't his job to do what was good for MSU. That's where you lose this argument.

Well guess what? It is now.

[KOdawg1]

Well no shit Sherlock. You'll probably see him dial it back some and be more like Rosebowl and the other sunshine brigade.

And that's a good thing for all parties involved.

Rumor is at least two MSU coaches have called him an idiot to his face. One is still coaching at MSU. Sure that won't be awkward at all.

Selmon and Robbie get along now so that softens some of the blow from the coaches. I imagine we will see a much tamer version of Robbie now that is not so, at times, antagonistic towards the university. At the end of the day, Robbie is a good guy and wants to see Mississippi State do well. I think that came across as very adversarial at times and that is what caused him to get sideways with a couple of coaches. Most notably, Lemonis.

As far as the message board portion of it goes, I will have to see how moderated that will be. I would imagine it will be heavily moderated and will probably not have many games threads.

Also, having Charlie in charge of it rather than Paul Jones will make a big difference in what is allowed on the message board.

I've seen Robbie call other MSU fans idiots on Twitter for asking a legit question before. I can't see that flying anymore.

Plus I think most of the content will be player interviews and things like that. I don't think there are going to be a lot of Robbie's "hot takes" on things.

[Todd4State]

And Robbie will actually be in house at MSU even more and closer to the program than ever before. That gives a different perspective on things rather than Chad Bumphis's second hand info.

It's not a rumor

Go listen to Hadad on TL. He gives a informing explanation on what it is.

Hadad said State 1878 tried to hire him too but he turned it down, which makes me like him even more. T&L is an awesome podcast and he wouldn't get to be as honest and transparent if he was essentially working for the university.

[Coach34]

Biggest problem this board has is that I'm the only one of the original 6 owners that still posts here at least regularly. There has been no investment in the board and none of the upgrades needed to modernize. No forethought about the future or how to improve the experience.

On this we can agree

Why are the other five no longer involved?

Lack of time for the most part. They are all married business tycoons some with younger kids like me in HS or younger. The board was mainly a hobby for them and we all saw the need to break away from Sixpack, so the creation. Sixpack has always been run more like a business- this was always a hobby. I always wanted it to be more of a business with growth- but the other guys had their main jobs that required alot of them.

I agree. I really respect Brian for staying on and keeping T&L rolling. Before he was backed by SuperTalk I do not know if he would have made that decision.

Depends on what you want this board to become - but feel like there's plenty of tech savvy people between folks already registered and in the computer engineering department that you could recruit someone to do some tuneup as a hobby.

Slickdawg is an IT guy and OG Elitedawg. Slickdawg was doing internet videos 20 years ago. His time is limited now because he has become so important. So he turned alot of power over to ScoobaDawg for the IT part and such. Scooba has a life and is busy also. Nobody else in the circle of trust is IT. After our feud years ago- I have no moderator anything now. I post here out of loyalty and because I dont want to pay to join Steve's board. I could create a fake email and name to post on Sixpack- but when I announced I was leaving- I meant it. No hard feelings with Stephen- he was one of the large group of people to check on me when I almost died.

I just dont want to see this thing die. But it does need an enema to quote Jack Nicholson Riddler.

[Todd4State]

I wonder what his role would have been? He and Robbie doing the same thing? That seems a little redundant to have two guys basically conducting interviews.

Need to pick a day a month or so from now and all commit to giving it that enema then.

Has anyone used State 1878? If so what are your thoughts on it?

[Pancho]

I'll pass. seems to be a money grab or should i say another money grab

Whats wrong with Faulk?

Dude sucks. He is part of the barstool journalism wave where he just argues with fans on twitter

Robbie was trying to become the next Brandon Walker. Now he's the next Joel T Coleman.
