Maybe Brother Freeze will get asked about his feelings on gay marriage....
Hugh wasnt the only media member to down Dan for his response. Our good friend Neal McCready also had a smartass comment to make.
That would be funny.Quote:

oh, and ban him from the campus, too.
Kellenberger's not their beat writer any more he's a columnist. That's why it pisses me off even more. The columnist for the main newspaper in the state likes to take shots at us. All our players and coaches should just do like Marshawn Lynch and not answer any questions from the C-L until this dickhead stops with the dickheadedness.Quote:

What did cross and mcready say negative about dan's answers?
I watched the whole thing live and my response was, as usual, that dan said nothing earth shattering for the good or the bad. It was the usual bland speach he typically gives...just like every other coach. Were they mad that he kept referencing the bama game as the biggest loss? It did decide the west...
As far as the flag question I thought it was a dumb question and as a fan I really don't give 2 shits about how he feels on the issue. He's not an elected official he's a football coach.
If i may, can i ask the two part question kellenburger was sent to ask but he chickened out?
Dan: what liberal carpetbagger input do you have concerning the primary symbol the university you wont name flew and remains a part of Mississippi's state flag? .....AND IF you dont have any liberal carpetbagger views we can use, what mindless bullshit about heritage can you accidentally let blurt out so that the attention from the NCAA can be diverted away from "the confederate army up north"?
Watching it live, I didn't for one split second think, "Oh, maybe that could've been answered better." I honestly took it as him saying, "The flag doesn't stand for what Mississippi State as an institution stands for. We embrace diversity, we celebrate and welcome it, so its a non-issue for us."
Like I said in another thread, the CL reporter already knew the answer so why ask it. He had only one reason and I think most of us know. Whey watching the SEC network and watching the ticker on the bottom that is basically all it says.

Unfortunately, Kellenberger wasn't the only one to take that view. This one is more concerning, since people actually read CBS: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoot...sissippi-flags
Though it's not quite as far-reaching as the CL's.
Spurrier got asked that question straight up, but he's been fairly outspoken for a long time about it coming down and made no mess about saying it should come down.
To me if you ask that question to a coach, he's the only one you ask it to. Freeze comes in a close 2nd because of them being the Rebels, but even to me this is a sports convention, not a political roasting and you don't ask Freeze that question. Spurrier I guess I can see with it being in his state, but again this isn't a political convention. It's a sports convention. It to me is an out of line question.
I don't get it.
What more does he have to say? Do these dumbasses need it spelled out???? He certainly didn't avoid the question nor support the current flag with his statement.
CBS was much more professional in its assessment of what Mullen said. I still don't think they got the correct meaning, but they didn't go full on stupid like Kellenberger.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn one day. That the rebel power brokers have a incentive program for "journalist". There is just to many similarities in the writing regarding MSU.
I do agree they were more professional about it.Quote:

That sounds to me like Hugh is really more upset that he just got a regurgitation of the official MSU statement. I'm thinking he was hoping by asking it at Media Days that the CL would be able to lead in the "coaches want it changed" story, but then with Dan kind of dancing around it he didn't get that. He probably wrote the article out of a bit of frustration which should have been detected by the editor. Unfortunately, with online media today the "get it out quickly" usually overrides the "maybe this should be changed up a bit."
And at least he tried to tie it to sports: "It’s important not only because they’re leaders in the state but also because the NCAA will not allow postseason events to be played in Mississippi because of the flag."
