Culture Won Today's Game

[ShotgunDawg]

We played like absolute trash today. Fitz had a bad game, Mullen had a bad game, OL has a sub-par game, Nick Gibson had a bad day, Dantzler lost his cool, guys suddenly went dumb & forgot how to recover fumbles etc... but we found a way.

Consider this:

- SEC road game
- 5 starters out with injuries
- Basically two fumble recoveries for TDs for Ark
- Week after playing Alabama to the wire in an emotional game.
- Cold, windy, rainy, 11:00 AM game
- We practiced all week in shorts. I mean freaking shorts. Remember what happened last time we did football things in shorts?

Normal programs don't win games like today. Regardless of what you think of Arkansas, they were still in their home stadium, with SEC players, trying to save their coach's job.

I absolutely want to punch MSU football in the face today for how poorly they played, but, at the end of the day, they found a way & that is what top shelf programs find a way to do.

Hopefully, we will be more healthy against OM & I expect us to play like our normal selves.

Throw this game tape in the trash, but don't forget that the culture that Dan Mullen has built at MSU allowed us to win this game. Appreciate it because it ain't normal & not very many programs could've overcome today what we overcame.

Se my post below. I said almost the same exact thing.

[BeardoMSU]

Great post, Shotgun.

[Dawg496]

Aren't you the guy who said you wanted Mullen to go to UT in the game thread when we were losing?

[msstate7]

Aren't you the guy who said you wanted Mullen to go to UT in the game thread when we were losing?

Game threads are like Vegas. Lets not discuss the dumb things we do there

Game threads don't count. Those are emotional. "crime of passion"

[ShotgunDawg]

This. They simply don't count against your record

[Dawg496]

Yet you chastise Dantzler, a 20 year old, for losing his cool. The only difference is much more invested into the outcome of the game than armchair analysts.

Keeping your cool is a must when you are not a great player to start with. Fire away

BTW, fitz gets ripped unmercifully every game while making plays left and right. You flip out over getting on a kid that has not done crap to win a game

[justwin]

We did to Arkansas what Alabama did to us last week

500 yards! Need to plan on rushing for 500 yards vs OM. 457 last year. Ready to see the combo of Kylin & Aeris & Fitz on field together for 50+ plays ~ dangerous

[Commercecomet24]

Guys I?m 53 and watched a lot of mediocre to bad Bulldog football. In the past the adversity we faced in this game wiujdve turned this into a blowout. We have come a long way!

I didn't flip out at all. I'm not advocating for selectively ripping on any player. I just took the first example in the post. Also we are talking about losing cool which is what Shotgun did. Does Fitz lose his cool? Not sure why you are bringing this up.

Again, feel free to criticize teenagers and barely old enough to drink kids when they lose their cool, even though they are actually on the field, and not behind a keyboard. Seems to me it's much more justifiable to give the benefit of the doubt in that situation. But if you or anyone else want to continue to pass your time flaming players for not executing 100% perfectly all the time then don't let me stop you.

Like Mike Gundy said, come after the coaches, they at least get paid. These are players who do it for the love of the game who are actually invested in the outcome. You people are just wanna be Barret Sallees.

I get what you are saying. Now, please stop hijacking a positive thread. Cam will be a great player for us & will certainly be better because of today

That was a selfish play and not what MSU football is about. We kick people's ass during the play. Dan Mullen would say the same thing and it's time to move on.

[Dawg496]

Alright bro, sorry for raining on your make fun of teenagers parade. Please continue to live out the remainder of your existence by deriving pleasure from putting down people who actually contribute to an outcome.

You individually do nothing to get Mississippi State a win. But please keep shitting on those who actually do since that apparently makes you feel good in some way or another.

Like Shotgun requested, I'm done hijacking, apologies. Feel free to PM me if anyone disagrees.

I think Dan told him something just like that when he got to the sideline. Liked the way Dan handled it though. He looked calm when he was talking to cam and just coaching him. And saw cam say yes sir a couple times.

I apologize to dantzler. Hell of a play, kid... I praise you for you are praise worthy. If you wear the maroon and white, get a free education, untold perks, and rock star status, you should never be criticized. No one has sacrificed so much for us since Jesus. All praise dantzler and the players. Anyone who criticizes again should be shot on spot.

Great reply. Very adult like. You comprehended the argument well and responded with a cogent rebuke. Are all of your 37 thousand posts this high quality? Do you actually contribute to any part of society or is your lack of contribution only extended to Mississippi State athletics. With so much time on your hands one has to wonder.

Im with you. People too soft, get out of your feelings, taking criticism is part of being a man

[BankerDog]

Dantzler not a very good player? Not what we're about?

Dantzler is the best CB on the team. We preach "family" and he was sticking up for his teammate who was the victim of a cheap shot. That's the "culture" we've created; protecting your brother, "your family". I'd much rather have a team full of guys having my back then knowing I didn't. Good grief.

Good grief man, dantzler made a stupid decision. Yes he deserves to be rebuked over it.

Do you even know the definition of fetish? Ironically you are deriding other people on this- so what gives you that right since you are clearly in the wrong? Attitudes like yours create a culture where there is a lack of accountability and lack of discipline.

My comment about dantzler not being good was relative to fitz. Point was that if fitz can get ripped all game, every game, then cam certainly isn?t above it

Apparently you think your post on a message board will hold Dantzler accountable. Don't give yourself that much credit. Like I said, wannabe Barret Sallees at best.

I never said the coaching staff shouldn't coach or discipline him, which I'm sure they will and I support. But let them do their jobs and you do yours, which is writing shitty message board commentary.

Damn straight. When I was 20, I would have punched someone talking shit to one of my friends and thought about the consequences later. I'm 27 now and I would do the same thing.

Apparently this behavior is okay to criticize but GROWN MEN calling players names, acting like 13 year old teenage girls reacting to every single play as if it was the only sample to judge a player on and giving in to their hormonal urges to post about it on a message board is not open to criticism.

You obviously are emotionally attached to dantzler. No one hates the kid over a total knuckle head play that could very well have cost 84 of his team mates the game. It was stupid. It is also over. Why did you drag it out of the game thread where it would have been dead by now. If I were related or dating a player, I would stay out of game threads

[RezDog7]

I may be in the minority here but I thought the defense played a heck of game considering the offense didn?t. You had to know there would be some hangover but wasn?t expecting the fluke plays that cost us three touchdowns. Yes Dantzler made a bad decision but it?s an emotional game and Simmons jumped on him immediately. He will learn from it. Time to focus on our the next game because it?s a big one.

[chef dixon]

Was ultimately a soft call on Dantzler. Did he need to do that? No. But it was weak.

[Ari Gold]

Yet you chastise Dantzler, a 20 year old, for losing his cool. The only difference is much more invested into the outcome of the game than armchair analysts.

Losing your cool is one thing.. walking up and shoving a guy when the official is in between them and has it under control in the most crucial part of the game is stupid and selfish. period. He should be doing up downs as soon he gets back to the complex.
Now saying that the kid is going to be a really good player I think . He will learn from this.

What planet are you from?



I'll tell you what's shitty commentary- defending a player who made a selfish play and then criticizing fans for calling it selfish when not only would the coach Dan Mullen call it a selfish play but I'm sure Dantzler himself would call it a selfish play- because you decide all of a sudden to try to be the message board den mother and then get called out for it.

Because apparently YOU think that somehow getting on a message board and defending Dantzler is going to make a difference. Which makes the rambling baseless bullshit you just put in that turdburger of a post incredibly ironic.

But to clarify for your simple mind- no I don't think my post will hold Dantzler accountable. But I sure as hell think it will hold soft weakminded ***** fans like you accountable. So, go in the corner and take a seat.

Why don't you try to argue merits instead of calling people so many names? You're not nearly the expert you think you are and apparently it doesn't stop at baseball.

Keep making fun of players, cussing out fellow fans, and typing shit on a message board while you continue to have zero effect on the game itself. You go in a corner and be inconsequential like you probably are in the remainder of your life.

[redstickdawg]

Ironically dantzler's penalty may have been crucial in the win today. If Ark is 15 yds further back do they go for it on 4th down?

[Gutter Cobreh]

Why don't you try to argue merits instead of calling people so many names? You're not nearly the expert you think you are and apparently it doesn't stop at baseball.

Unfortunately, there is a large quantity of these types on this board. I've given up counting how many threads created after each game just to relay their "thoughts on the game".

I suppose you need these to keep a message board active, so some I read and some I don't.

I will say I don't see MSState7 ripping players on a personal level, but his debating skills may need refinement (IMO).

It's hard to argue merits with someone who is completely out of their mind and making shit up in their head. Guess what dipshit- your opinions also have just as little impact on MSU as mine do. Unless you actually believe that you are somehow protecting Dantzler- and if you actually do- then you completely and epically FAILED.

If you want me to stop calling you a ***** stop acting like one and actually get out of your fantasy land where you actually matter. Your the the kind of asshole that calls out everyone out in the church for their sins while you're out pulling a Hugh Freeze night in Tampa at your house.

At any rate- lack of discipline like Dantzler leads to penalties that could hurt the team. Period. He should be called out for it. Didn't call him a name over it. He made a bad play. He will learn from it. Dan has taken care of it I'm sure or he will very soon. I'm not worried about it.

But good thing we have idiots like you taking up for him and promoting poor discipline- so I guess that makes you and Al Davis as the only humans that are OK with it in football. I'm going to side with everyone else who actually knows the game and isn't on their high horse.

1. What did I make up?
2. I'm not trying to affect MSU with my opinions. I'm trying to get people to understand it's not okay to rip kids and then act cavalier when people question their freak outs on a message board. I'm sorry you can't comprehend that.
3. No one is promoting poor discipline. Go back and read what I said. I said Mullen will discipline him as he should and I support that. What I don't support and questioned was on one hand flipping out about a player making a mistake and then flipping out on a message board and saying it doesn't count because it was in the heat of things.
4. I don't pretend to know Xs or Os and nowhere in this thread do I talk about football schematically, so I have no idea what you are rambling about.

Please address these points if you're capable of comprehending them and try to not name call in your next post.

1. Where did I say or insinuate that anything I have ever said on a message board has ANY effect on anything that happens at MSU? Where did I say anything about MY posting holding Dantzler accountable? ALL shit YOU made up in your beany little head. All so you can pretend to be the board den mother.

2. I'm trying to get you to understand is it's not your place to call people out on that- and you are way out of line on that. This is a sports message board. Sports are going to be discussed. Players are going to make mistakes- like everyone else. That's going to be discussed when that happens. It's not anything personal towards the player. It's just a mistake and something that needs to be improved upon so that we can get better as a program. You're the only one freaking out- and then going off on some crazy tangent about the things in point number one. This is not rainows and sunshine MSU- and I would direct you to the old Genespage if it still existed. As it is, while you are here we're going to discuss MSU sports amongst ourselves because we're alums and fans and that is going to include some criticism- but it's not personal. You completely ruined this thread because for some reason you feel the need to defend our players. That's some (old) Genespage 101 bullshit.

3. No one was flipping out- except for you. Well, and me. But that's not because of Dantzler. It's because I HATE holier than thou assholes like you who try to attention whore themselves when they should be minding their own business.

4. You have no idea about football? That's the first accurate thing you have typed. Well, let me explain this. Penalties are bad. So, the fewer you get the more likely you are to put yourself in position to win in general. That's why running up to another player and bumping them after the whistle in front of an official is a bad idea. And on top of that- that player runs the risk of potentially being ejected as well. Us Barrett Sallee wannabe's know this and so we know that if we have a more disciplined team it's going to give us a better chance to WIN the game. Understand? It's "selfish" because it's an emotional decision on the part of the offending player becasue in a contact sport like football- if you want to get back at someone you can do so legally the next play by legally blocking them, tackling them or doing something to HELP your team. Hopefully that's clear to you.

4. You have no idea about football? That's the first accurate thing you have typed. Well, let me explain this. Penalties are bad. So, the fewer you get the more likely you are to put yourself in position to win in general. That's why running up to another player and bumping them after the whistle in front of an official is a bad idea. And on top of that- that player runs the risk of potentially being ejected as well. Us Barrett Sallee wannabe's know this and so we know that if we have a more disciplined team it's going to give us a better chance to WIN the game. Understand? It's "selfish" because it's an emotional decision on the part of the offending player becasue in a contact sport like football- if you want to get back at someone you can do so legally the next play by legally blocking them, tackling them or doing something to HELP your team. Hopefully that's clear to you.

Thanks dude, continue to be condescending and act like you know it all. I'm sure you'll go far in life with that attitude.

You can sleep tonight knowing you are free to criticize whoever you want. I wish I had insight into your job so I could criticize everytime you messed up.

And also once again you fail being able to make a post without calling someone a name. You must have been picked on too much for being in the band.

I can't believe you aren't on vacation yet. Cool them jets while you're ahead.

Thanks dude, continue to be condescending and act like you know it all. I'm sure you'll go far in life with that attitude. Oh, I will. And don't worry I have gone pretty far in life. At least far enough that I am happy with it- which is ultimately all that really matters.

You can sleep tonight knowing you are free to criticize whoever you want. And I'm the one that thinks I'm important? Ironic. I wish I had insight into your job so I could criticize everytime you messed up. I would give about as much of a shit as Dantzler gives about you feeling the need to take up for him on this message board. I actually do criticise myself- in a constructive manner. I also do receive feedback from my supervisors like most jobs. Most of my criticism is on the positive side but certainly there are things I need to improve on and I do my best to do so to make myself better. That's probably advice that you should heed in whatever it is that you do.

And also once again you fail being able to make a post without calling someone a name. Toughen up buttercup.You must have been picked on too much for being in the band. Eh, not really. I don't mind being picked on for being able to go to MSU football games for free and being paid to do it.


It's really a shame that the old Genespage doesn't exist anymore for the non-competitive sports fans like you.

We played like absolute trash today. Fitz had a bad game, Mullen had a bad game, OL has a sub-par game, Nick Gibson had a bad day, Dantzler lost his cool, guys suddenly went dumb & forgot how to recover fumbles etc... but we found a way.

Consider this:

- SEC road game
- 5 starters out with injuries
- Basically two fumble recoveries for TDs for Ark
- Week after playing Alabama to the wire in an emotional game.
- Cold, windy, rainy, 11:00 AM game
- We practiced all week in shorts. I mean freaking shorts. Remember what happened last time we did football things in shorts?

Normal programs don't win games like today. Regardless of what you think of Arkansas, they were still in their home stadium, with SEC players, trying to save their coach's job.

I absolutely want to punch MSU football in the face today for how poorly they played, but, at the end of the day, they found a way & that is what top shelf programs find a way to do.

Hopefully, we will be more healthy against OM & I expect us to play like our normal selves.

Throw this game tape in the trash, but don't forget that the culture that Dan Mullen has built at MSU allowed us to win this game. Appreciate it because it ain't normal & not very many programs could've overcome today what we overcame.


ARK was actually kind of a trap game. AL was a tough physical and emotional game,that took a lot out of our team. THe ARK game is sandwiched between Bama and OM and is on the road, in a cold and windy environment. We had a lot of things to go wrong today , but our team found a way to win.

The ole Genespage retort. I can't argue with the merits so let me talk my way out of it by talking shit.

Game threads don't count. Those are emotional. "crime of passion"

[Dawg61]

Aren't you the guy who said you wanted Mullen to go to UT in the game thread when we were losing?


Yet you chastise Dantzler, a 20 year old, for losing his cool. The only difference is much more invested into the outcome of the game than armchair analysts.


I didn't flip out at all. I'm not advocating for selectively ripping on any player. I just took the first example in the post. Also we are talking about losing cool which is what Shotgun did. Does Fitz lose his cool? Not sure why you are bringing this up.

Again, feel free to criticize teenagers and barely old enough to drink kids when they lose their cool, even though they are actually on the field, and not behind a keyboard. Seems to me it's much more justifiable to give the benefit of the doubt in that situation. But if you or anyone else want to continue to pass your time flaming players for not executing 100% perfectly all the time then don't let me stop you.

Like Mike Gundy said, come after the coaches, they at least get paid. These are players who do it for the love of the game who are actually invested in the outcome. You people are just wanna be Barret Sallees.


Alright bro, sorry for raining on your make fun of teenagers parade. Please continue to live out the remainder of your existence by deriving pleasure from putting down people who actually contribute to an outcome.

You individually do nothing to get Mississippi State a win. But please keep shitting on those who actually do since that apparently makes you feel good in some way or another.

Like Shotgun requested, I'm done hijacking, apologies. Feel free to PM me if anyone disagrees.


Players play, coaches coach and cheerleaders cheer. And apparently grown men develop fetishes for deriding children.


Great reply. Very adult like. You comprehended the argument well and responded with a cogent rebuke. Are all of your 37 thousand posts this high quality? Do you actually contribute to any part of society or is your lack of contribution only extended to Mississippi State athletics. With so much time on your hands one has to wonder.


Apparently you think your post on a message board will hold Dantzler accountable. Don't give yourself that much credit. Like I said, wannabe Barret Sallees at best.

I never said the coaching staff shouldn't coach or discipline him, which I'm sure they will and I support. But let them do their jobs and you do yours, which is writing shitty message board commentary.


Damn straight. When I was 20, I would have punched someone talking shit to one of my friends and thought about the consequences later. I'm 27 now and I would do the same thing.

Apparently this behavior is okay to criticize but GROWN MEN calling players names, acting like 13 year old teenage girls reacting to every single play as if it was the only sample to judge a player on and giving in to their hormonal urges to post about it on a message board is not open to criticism.


Why don't you try to argue merits instead of calling people so many names? You're not nearly the expert you think you are and apparently it doesn't stop at baseball.

Keep making fun of players, cussing out fellow fans, and typing shit on a message board while you continue to have zero effect on the game itself. You go in a corner and be inconsequential like you probably are in the remainder of your life.


1. What did I make up?
2. I'm not trying to affect MSU with my opinions. I'm trying to get people to understand it's not okay to rip kids and then act cavalier when people question their freak outs on a message board. I'm sorry you can't comprehend that.
3. No one is promoting poor discipline. Go back and read what I said. I said Mullen will discipline him as he should and I support that. What I don't support and questioned was on one hand flipping out about a player making a mistake and then flipping out on a message board and saying it doesn't count because it was in the heat of things.
4. I don't pretend to know Xs or Os and nowhere in this thread do I talk about football schematically, so I have no idea what you are rambling about.

Please address these points if you're capable of comprehending them and try to not name call in your next post.


I wouldn't want to get his male nurse scrubs dirty.

Hey Lavar Ball you trying to start fights with posters about 2-3 comments made outta 50 pages of game thread is weak ass shit and doesn't help your boy Jalen Ramsey Dantlzer look good. If he does actually end up being an NFL CB he's gonna have a whole bunch more negativity from fans at times than a couple of comments in a game thread and you ain't gonna be able to fight with every twitter user, instagram user, game chat contributor on fifty different sports websites, radio personalities, tv personalities etc. You need to grow some thicker skin cause you blasting fans only makes your boy look bad and you. Dantzler is very talented nobody is questioning that but he has made SEVERAL boneheaded mistakes on the field and he only gets 1/10,000th of the negative comments that Fitzgerald gets yet you don't see Mr. Fitzgerald on here starting fights with fans over it. Only gonna get tougher here on out for you. Might as well develop thicker skin if you want to survive it.
