I think Keenum may hate the CL as much as most of us do.
This is embarrassing. Bringing it up by our end is just stupid. Let that sleeping dog lie. The thats my story and I'm sticking to it line is silly at this point.
Good for him! I'm not so much pissed at Bonner for possibly screwing up the AD hire, but more possibly screwing us over with the baseball hire. Everyone knows this is the worst time of year to be hiring a HC, so we had to be somewhat stealthy in our search for Cohen's replacement.
Hell yes. Screw thay rag. Maybe our administration has learned that they're a wolf in sheep's clothing. They're nice to our fave, but they have an agenda that hurts our university. It's time to shut down access to them.
Anyone who thinks Keenum calling out the CL was a bad look on our part, at the time, now in hindsight, or anywhere in between, is part of the loser attitude a large portion of our fan base has and desperately needs to get over.
Except he's right. The search had not "concluded," as Bonner put it, three weeks ago. Unless you believe keenum is lying about the "several" interviews he conducted over the last three weeks.Quote:

THIS 100 times over!!!!Quote:

Keenum just made himself a target in the media. If he had stayed and answered questions, then yes those lines are fine. He just looks like the school dork who shoot off at a bully and now is running home.
It's one thing to take a shot. It's another to take a shot and dare them to come at you with questions. Keenum has again messed up a situation with the media over being butt hurt. MSU deserves a better leader or at least a media savvy one. Sid Salter needs the door as well.
Lastly the Good old Boy system is back and stronger than ever at MSU. When you give Holliman and LT props, it is time to find another Doc Foglesong.
The Cubs go forward 108 years and MSU goes back 30. Where's our Theo?
This whole thing is one of the weirdest reactions I've ever seen. Keenum is doing exactly what State fans have wanted for years, and now we're pissed about it?Quote:

Finally, a person on here who understands politics. This just set us back 30 years. If Dan doesn't find the door for himself, we will never be rid of he and Hevesy now. Plus the new hire (if one comes) will be less than spectacular. This whole episode is like the keystone cops. A damn joke. We just gave a top 3 baseball program in the nation to a guy with 2 years experience in college. Ohhhhh well!! We will see. Lol

What are you talking about? You quoted his post, which was about Keenum's calling out of the CL, and then proceeded to talk about Cannizaro being a bad hire.Quote:

Exactly. How many threads are there calling for our administration to quit taking shit from the CL? Maybe Keenum didn't handle it properly, although I think he did, but he let the CL know we are not taking shit from them anymore. I don't understand what the problem is. Other than a few dimwitted reporters and Ole Miss fans making snide comments on Twitter what else can happen? The CL has never done us any favors so who cares if they got their feelings hurt. I guess we should apologize and create a safe place for them at our press conferences.Quote:

I don't want to wade into the Keenum discussion, and I share your concerns about Cannizaro's experience. Nevertheless, I have to question calling MSU one of the 3 best baseball programs in the nation, either historically or at this moment in time. Definitely, we're in the top 3 of programs without a national championship (along with FSU). I'd agree with top 3 in fan support and gameday atmosphere. Under Polk I, we even taught the SEC how to really turn baseball into something; however, looking at what other schools have accomplished, we're probably more like a top 10 program.Quote:

This isn't real, right? Nobody actually believes that the CL has any influence whatsoever anymore, right? I'm gonna go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt...well played sir...The Onion-worthy!Quote:

Was he told the search was over and all interviews were completed? if he just would have said Cohen will be the AD then fine. His inaccuracy came in his statement that the search had "concluded." That's all keenum ever pointed out.
AGAIN we don't link stories to the CL. Confucious. PM sent. last warning.

And that one word "concluded" is the difference in it being a story no one could argue with to being one that undermines the entire process. Words do matter. Journalists should not have to have that explained to them.Quote:

Keenum ain't stupid, I'm pretty sure a plan has been discussed, why worry over a damn press conference. Cohen is excited about a career change and WE Msu alumni and fans should be behind him now, not questioning as it's a done deal!Quote:

What Kennum should have done was appoint this board AD. We could have voted on all the important stuff after the obligatory five page discussion over whether we should have 18 oz or 20 oz cups in all the concession stands. He could have paid us in V cash and all the real money could be put toward assistant coaches or some way to make all the empty seats change colors to match the color of the week.
Your so right, cup size is very important!Quote:
