Yep. Just heard on out of bounds.
Would like to hear what criteria they used to pick this way.
Vanderbilt better program. Nashville better city. Oh well, we owe them for that whipping they gave us at homeQuote:

I think it should have been played at a neutral site with a big attendance capacity. It isn't fair to look at 2 equal teams and say "hey team with the massive fanbase, only like 1/5 of you can attend the super"
Ok. I agree with you BUTQuote:

MSU just got punished for playing an intra-conference team in an NCAA Super Regional. That should not matter and the NCAA should have an objective process for deciding this because I can assure you, if it were an out of conference matchup, the criteria would've been different.
Can anyone imagine a
Okay disprove it.Quote:

Added bonus is Nashville is a kick ass city. Starkville is not (not being negative, just honest)Quote:

Perhaps Mr Cohen's stick is a little short. Other than hiring Moorhead, what has he done?
Demand better or you get LT for 20 years.
The problem with MSU athletics under Lonnie Tinkle wasn't Lonnie Tinkle, it was the collective MSU fan base that lacked a pair to demand better.
So, Vandy's recent Nattys and more recent success should be a reason why we go to Nashville?Quote:

I wonder how many Starkville hotel rooms are being cancelled right now? As much as this sucks for the team and fans it also sucks for Starkville. Events like this help Starkville grow.
Dumbest take of the year year right here. Cohen doesn't have balls because he didn't scare the outback bowl committee or NCAA host commitee into picking us? This isn't the mafia, you can't bully these organizations as a an ADQuote:

Stupid post.Quote:

Disagree Ari. You have no clue how much he fault for our fan base in either situation.Quote:

So why is Cohen possibly starting a string of failures? You have actually had a few good posts lately, but this definitely is not one of them.Quote:

None of these are catastrophic. Just something to keep an eye on. Does Cohen have stroke at the negotiating table?
All you guys trust him, but why?
Sorry "fought"Quote:

I have been trying to point out for two days that our stadium construction has been ramped up. A lot of it is on the upper deck. We even put out some fluff price about the next time we played there it would be complete or something to that effect.Quote:

South Carolina finished 2nd in the East; we finished 4th in the West. Our starting QB was hurt; the Outback tends to select East teams; and we had no head coach. No AD is going to be able to "force" the conference's 3rd-best bowl to take (by record) the sixth-best team in that scenario.Quote:

THE SEASON IS STILL GOING. The coaching search should and will be concluded swiftly after the season ends. Have just a litttttle bit of common sense. My god, it's like a super power nowadays.Quote:

It was because our stadium was still under construction. None of the other things mattered.Quote:
