Man that's just sad. I vow now to do everything in my power to see that he is blackballed even if I am all alone.

I think it's just a different view he has on things. I think you think like me - all in for State and if you're not for us you're against us. He sees it as objectivity, or something like that. I do think he is good on radio, and I agree with most of what he says.Quote:

Some of the few articles I have read (in my Mom's paper when I visit) have been generally decent, but he comes across as an @$$ in the mean time...Quote:

This is our biggest problem in the media world in general, most everyone in Mississippi in media (owners, publishers, reporters, etc.) are either OM folks or have no affiliation one way or the other. There is NOBODY in the MS media defending MSU that is for darn sure and that is why EVERYTHING negative that happens around MSU is in the paper so fast it makes your head spin while negative OM stuff either is greatly delayed in getting in the media or never gets reported on at all.Quote:

He called Mullen a raving lunatic about 5 times in that show. If anyone decides to listen, just listen to the second half of it.
I'm gonna do it. Haha.
That was for the matty dispatch.
He and Matt had a special relationship at one time. They share the same agenda as far as MSU football goes. HD6's wife got tired of Matt hanging out in the bedroom all the time so she booted him from the house. Now the only way they see each other is on BSR. HD6 should stick to making pizzas and I have encouraged several MSU businesses to stop their ads as long as Stevens is on board. Of course the Imes don't give a shit about Mississippi State so he will be there forever along with this former inmate Slim who takes every chance to berate the coaches and players. He's their so called managing editor with an inmate background.Quote:

You don't have to pump sunshine up your reader's asses and be the administration's mouthpiece, but if you go out of your way to try to hurt the athletic department (ie. the bs Will Redmond story, the overblown nature of Quay's ticket, etc.) then your privileges will be revoked and you'll probably lose your job. No other school puts up with the amount of shit we do from our own regional media.
They need us to stay afloat more than we need them to write damaging stories about us. Let them know this Stricklin.
You kind of have to be careful with that because the media likes to stick together and if we did actually black ball a writer then we would get harassed by all kinds of media - national, etc. They would figure out ways to make our program look bad. While we don't need the local media to get out the message anymore, we don't need them and especially the regional and national media against us. It will affect recruiting. I think MSU does about as much as they can to Stevens aside from just totally refusing to answer his questions. Just in the last week Mullen called him stupid at a press conference. They all despise him. Everyone gives him the cold shoulder. Stevens is just so tone deaf he doesn't recognize what's going on.Quote:

Steven's source (Wardlaw) is gone so I don't anticipate much more out of him. Overall, I think MSU does a pretty good job handling the media - better than it used to be. I wrote a story about this last week (sorry to keep dropping links, shameless self promotion) http://maroonandwhitenation.com/2013...mockery-media/ - MSU has them ALL in lock step with the belief that Mullen will get an extension and there is no chance he will be fired even if we lose out. Even the hierarchy of this board has bought in. It's part of controlling the message, which they are doing well.
kinda off topic, but who is the tall dark haired guy with glasses that you always see in the background of all the interviews (handler)
