Matt Stevens in hot water

I don't see why this is a big deal... Just more of the outrage mob that is too prevalent in our culture. Who gives a shit what Ratt, Hadad, Bonner think of Lafayette and they certainly shouldn't be fired/have show cancelled. I'm just tired of seeing the mob mentality these days.

All we have to do is pull media credentials and then Stevens, Bonner, and whoever else is going to cower down. Here's the proof.

The writers and media need us more than we need them.

And I hope Stricklin, Cohen, Keenum whoever else demands that Stevens gets reprimanded.

Can you explain to me why Mike Bonner gets lumped in with Stevens here?
I know we have a longstanding tradition of hating our beat writers at the C-L, I don't get it with Bonner. He's actually pretty good at his job, didn't go to Ole Miss and I don't see him making disparaging remarks about Starkville or MSU. Granted, yesterday was the first time I've listened to his radio show so it's not like I know everything he's said or written.

I can't necessarily say Lafayette would be in my top 300 places to live. It's just another Baton Rouge. A city filled with uneducated fans who never even stepped foot in a classro at the university, but are more obnoxious than finger nails on a chalk board. Yes both fan bases are hospitable to a certain point but turn on the asshole like the flip of a switch. I'm assuming this article praising Lafayette as a top place to live, based on the availability of jobs in the oil field that are based there. Mostly offshore stuff.

I believe Coach Deggs is morally aligned with our head coach. They're both men of faith and this is pure conjecture, but I believe he's the head coach in waiting. We have an associate head coach that we adore who has been around the program for 25 years, but I think once Robe decides to retire, Deggs will take the reins without skipping a beat.

Just the touchy, feely society we live in. The only people you can directly rip on in this society and get away with it are white males and Christians. Everything else is off limits because you are not being sensitive and tolerant.

This is my thought. Also, as juvenile as it maybe....f them. Every SEC fan looks down their nose and desparages Starkville. Especially one particular asshole in little rock, who admitted he has never been to Starkville.

As a lifelong resident of Lafayette (maybe I'm bias), but I think its a wonderful city...and you will be hard pressed to find nicer people elsewhere in the country. We literally will do almost anything for anyone that asks. Unforunatley, a couple 'bad' reality shows don't always protray us in the right light.

That doesn't mean you are not hard to understand when you speak.

I cannot believe it took until Page 4 for someone to point out that is bullshit and part of the "everything is offensive" culture. And half the people who have applauded it in this thread have decried it in other situations.

Guess when it's someone you don't like, it's a lot easier to flip-flop positions.

Does this get Stevens and HeavyDog6 a guest appearance on a WCBI talk show? So they can cry and apologize to the GTR and south LA? Ha!

I don't know how MSU fans in general feel about Bonner. I was lumping him in there because he is a member of the media. His name came to mind first when I was typing the post for whatever reason. It could have been Ben Wait, Gene, Paul Jones, etc.- hence why I said "whoever else". My point was that ANY member of the media- I don't care if they are Grantland Rice or not- should be reprimanded by MSU if they bash MSU.

No- but I bet they think a little bit harder the next time they run their mouth.

There's some interesting commentary on the link to the article. Cajuns are upset with Mississippians. A reb is trying to start something. All over a stupid sportswriter.
