The piss poor performance that our team put on out there today or the piss poor turnout from "fans" who are now bitching about the outcome but couldn't be bothered to show up or stay because of the heat.

I gave effort...I'm burned badly. Enduring that crap show and being cooked alive in the process seems cruel and unusual
Yeah.. that might top it all actually. I burned for 3 and a half hours while our team and coach were busy going through the motions (secondary wasn't even doing that much).Quote:

Fans have showed up for Dan for 8 years and sold it out consistently, made Davis Wade an incredible atmosphere, only to watch his intensity and desire go to shit along with his coaching. Its not the fans fault he makes the same mistakes over and over and doesnt care. Its not the fans fault we haven't been the same team since the auburn win in 2014. And even before that. Beating Ole Miss in OT saved him in 2013, 2012 was a joke and was a definite warning sign but the poor ol MSU people won out by saying ''we won 8 games'' when we never came close to beating a team with a pulse. And look at any other team who played a non P5 team at 11 AM on Sept. 3 on a hotass day and it wouldnt be packed either.Quote:

w/the humpy. $4mil, lack of recruiting, lack of fire, those cringe-worthy pressers first week, shorts. MSU fans just not feeling it.Quote:

I drove in a damn hurricane to get my kid and to where I needed to be Thursday, then drove 10 hours Friday and will drive 10 today. It was her first game at DWS. I said "welcome to real MSU football kid. If we keep Dan, this is what the next 4 years will be like for you."
Don't forget whoring himself to every open job in college football. Last year's coaching carousel was it for me. Wish like hell Maryland or Miami had hired him.Quote:

And we were playing the University of South Alabama, not the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.
11 o'clock game in the heat was and always is a stupid ass idea. The SEC should not play a game at that time period. That is why we have Fn lights.
No way it was 57,000 there. There were empty sections, not seatsQuote:

I dunno ... looked pretty full to me except for the upper decks ... kinda sparse around the edges. Regardless, that's what Jim Ellis said when I was listening after I left. I think lots of people in the club levels just stayed inside.Quote:

I can't stand fans who call out fans when they don't know if they were there or not. I was there from beginning to end. I'm sorry but I don't care if we played infront of 2 fans. We should have won that game.
There will ALWAYS be problems at MSU with 11:00 games in the scorching heat against a Sun Belt team. MSU fans probably drive a longer distance on average to get to the games than any other SEC fan base. That being said, not feeling like the HC is fully committed to the program does have some trickle down effect to the fans I would think.Quote:
