Out of 5 SEC bowl games the team with a losing record is the only one with a victory.

Looks like UGA will win this one, we should be proud to have won ours. A win is a win y'all.

No kid will ever say "Auburn won their bowl game so I want to go to Mississippi State". Screw all of them and especially Alabama. If we were excite Akers didn't go to OM we should be excited every time kids spurn Bama and go elsewhere. It helps us.


P.S. I always hear State fans pulling for other SEC teams but I never see LSU or Bama fans pulling for us or anyone else for that matter. They sure as hell weren't pulling for us when we were #1 in the CFP ranking.

You must live a sheltered life! You can't tell me that you have never watched a game (like a Big 12/SEC challenge) where the fans were chanting "SEC,SEC". It happens all the time. The kid (if he is not committed to Auburn) will see the Auburn win as a SEC win. Conference pride comes into play when a recruit is trying to decide which school/conference he wants to be part of. A strong SEC will help MSU pull a local recruit from going out of state to the ACC, Big 12, etc. Sure, the recruit can go to another SEC school, but in theory that's why we pay Mullen $5M to persuade them to stay in state.

Uh, they are chanting SEC because they are in the SEC and they are feeling dominant at the moment. That in no way means that they sit at home and root for MSU. Most of them are smart enough to know that when State (and OM for that matter) are good it just makes it harder on the school they root for. They don't want us to win or be good.

I swear we are the only fanbase that gets pissed on and will argue with people that it is actually raining. From the CL, to ESPN, Finebaum, the SEC front office and our SEC rivals, they all know they can talk about us and do whatever they want to poor lil MSU and we will take it and like it.
