Jackie and Croom at the game Saturday

[Topbulldawg]

I was looking for parking information for the game this weekend and noticed this tidbit:

? Recognition of former Bulldog Head Coach Sylvester Croom
? Recognition of former Bulldog Head Coach Jackie Sherrill

I remember hearing JWS was going to be there, but hadn't heard about Croom. Is this the first game he will have been back too?

[ShotgunDawg]

Let's hope the team doesn't run Croom's offense again.

[Goldendawg]

This is interesting shade thrown at Dan Muffins

I think we tried against KY.**

Jackie is, but I don't get Croom being there the same night.

[DownwardDawg]

JWS will be recognized as our all time winningest coach!!!! He should also be recognized as the greatest in our history.
I have no idea why Croom is coming. We should welcome him back though. Nice guy.

[32 Dive]

Jackie is, but I don't get Croom being there the same night.

They were the last two coaches, to beat Florida, on Scott Field. Right, Dan?

[Goldendawg]

Wait a minute. Croom agreed to come back without Woody?*

[Liverpooldawg]

JWS will be recognized as our all time winningest coach!!!! He should also be recognized as the greatest in our history.

The greatest coach in our history is Allyn McKeen, and it's not close.

I thought the same thing. I like it!

[Cooterpoot]

Dan going to beat our ass.

To me it just feels like we’re trying too hard to be petty....

Statistically true, but JWS proved that we could compete for SEC championships today. So JWS is and will always be my favorite.

[chew1095]

Sly will be in town, in part, because Templeton is getting inducted into the MSU Sports H.O.F. We should be respectful of both men.

[DownwardDawg]

I agree. And beat Dans ass and make him look stupid on tv like he always did in big games.

[Goldendawg]

Sly will be in town, in part, because Templeton is getting inducted into the MSU Sports H.O.F. We should be respectful of both men.

And two of the "Templeton Troughs" will be bronzed and presented to each for the occasion.*

[Dawg61]

Dan going to beat our ass.

I don't think so

[Liverpooldawg]

McKeen won a SEC title.

[Bully13]

Dan going to beat our ass.

Well that post sucked.

[Liverpooldawg]

To me it just feels like we’re trying too hard to be petty....

I feel the same way.

[Topbulldawg]

I just realized that our last 6 head coaches will be at the game:

Felker
Sherrill
Croom
Mullen
Knox (1 game counts since it was a win)
Joe

[Bully13]

It may be petty if indeed Cohen is doing this primarily due to Mullen's return and not pure coincidence. (yeah, I know UUGE benefit of the doubt given)

Mullen himself is not immune to pettiness however. "We'll never lose to this school again" was something I was never a fan of. Too skrong. "TSUN" was pretty cool as I continue to use that one myself repeatedly. An old Woody Hayes re-make Woody used when referring to Michigan.

JWS will always be "The Kang" for obvious reasons. But no one will EVAH break Sly Croom's record of "Crooming" opposing head coaches. The best thing that could have ever happened to MSU football would have been Sly being SEC head coaching material. Damned shame he wasn't.

[Todd4State]

They were the last two coaches, to beat Florida, on Scott Field. Right, Dan?

Good call.

[Mutt the Hoople]

I hear they are staying at the Hilton garden inn.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Dan going to beat our ass.

We do play for whom the bell tolls, perfect for a hunchback

[Homedawg]

The greatest coach in our history is Allyn McKeen, and it's not close.

Come on man little house on the prairie years only count in Oxford .....

[Homedawg]

I hear they are staying at the Hilton garden inn.

Actually .....Jackie Wayne is

[preachermatt83]

Well that post sucked.

Maybe so but he's gonna be correct

[deltadawg99]

Just did a little online search, why on earth did Dudy Noble fire Mckeen? He has a .747 winning percentage at MSU and never had a losing season.

Also, even though he was only at MSU for two seasons and went 6-4 both seasons Darrell Royal has to be at least mentioned. He went on to make Texas a powerhouse at the time, won 3 national titles and 11 conference titles at Texas.

According to my Grandfather- pressure from alumni who wanted him to change his offense.

[Maroonthirteen]

I feel the same way.

Yeah, what a coincidence. SMH! I?d like hear the ?official? reasons this is happening. We have honored Jackie a few times already.

[deltadawg99]

According to my Grandfather- pressure from alumni who wanted him to change his offense.

That worked out well since the next coach, Arthur Morton, went 8-18-1 in three seasons.

[Jack Lambert]

Let's hope the team doesn't run Croom's offense again.

He did beat both Florida and Bama with that offense.

[msu15]

Maybe so but he's gonna be correct

Care to wager?

[Dawgbite]

And two of the "Templeton Troughs" will be bronzed and presented to each for the occasion.*

I'm going to hold it all day saturday until I get to the stadium.

[Liverpooldawg]

Come on man little house on the prairie years only count in Oxford .....

He said history. McKeen is actually in the college football hall of fame for what he did AT MSU. He is one of only two I believe, DD Lewis being the other one.

[Liverpooldawg]

According to my Grandfather- pressure from alumni who wanted him to change his offense.

My Dad said the same thing. We STILL haven't really recovered. The closest we have ever come was a few years under Sherril and Mullen.

[Jack Lambert]

Yeah, what a coincidence. SMH! I?d like hear the ?official? reasons this is happening. We have honored Jackie a few times already.

1998 we won the West. 2018 is the 20 year anniversary.

[Maroonthirteen]

1998 we won the West. 2018 is the 20 year anniversary.

Ah. Thanks. I guess Arkansas weekend was already taken with the patriotic show.

McKeen did it here, Royal didn't.

[Jack Lambert]

Yeah I thought Arkansas would be the better choice. I do think there is a little in your face involved.

[Maroonthirteen]

McKeen did it here, Royal didn't.

The success or lack there of MSUs program has everything to do with the resources in close proximity rather than Allen McKeen being fired.

Small state, little money, politics with OM and Alabama just down the road stealing recruits and fans are the issues. Sure a good coach can make an impact but there is a ceiling there.

[smootness]

To me it just feels like we?re trying too hard to be petty....

Yeah, but I still like it. Not as much as if we didn't completely crap the bed last week, but I still like it.

[was21]

With a little luck, it will be low key enough that nobody notices. That's the way those things usually go anyway

[msbulldog]

Slick Morton was my high school track coaches brother.

[MadDawg]

The greatest coach in our history is Allyn McKeen, and it's not close.

And Alabama's greatest head coach was Allen McCants.

[fader2103]

He said history. McKeen is actually in the college football hall of fame for what he did AT MSU. He is one of only two I believe, DD Lewis being the other one.

Jackie Parker is also in the COF. McKeen was also inducted because his overall record with MSU and Memphis (West Tennessee at the time). He also was director of the blue and gray game. Side note is his wife died the day after he was inducted into the Hall

[klong-dog]

Dan going to beat our ass.

Finally win against a ranked opponent and on the road at that. Would be so Mississippi state.

So did you just make this up to get a rise out of everyone, or did it actually say that before?

The official Gameday information has recognition of Sherrill, Vic, McCowan, Mangum, and Lemonis listed. Nothing about Crxxm.

[Maroonthirteen]

The official Gameday information has.... Nothing about Crxxm.

Well damn. I just had my Maroon is All That Matters Russel athletic T-shirt cleaned.

[viverlibre]

JWS is not even the best coach in the past 25 years, ******* has that honor. Hopefully, he will be unseated by JoMo.

[Spiderman]

Sly will be in town, in part, because Templeton is getting inducted into the MSU Sports H.O.F. We should be respectful of both men.

How about I just don't be disrespectful?

[Goldendawg]

Sorry, I guess I only went to that one SEC Championship game in Atlanta in 1998 and missed all the ones ******* took us to.

[Cooterpoot]

Croom would've beaten KY

It was 100% there last night. It was even a copy and paste I posted (as you can probably tell by the formatting). I wish I screenshot it. It is gone now.

Hahahahaha!!!! Good one.

Larry is not going in there and don?t say such things.
