How Much Longer is Our Administration Going To Allow The CFB Trailer Home To Exist?

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm reading articles & listening to Cohen on the radio talk about how everything else seems to be a priority on campus other than doing something with the South Endzone & frankly I think it's ludicrous that it's not the #1 priority.

Currently, we have college football's version of a trailer home sitting in the South Endzone & the powers that be appear to be just OK with that.

College football in particular is the front porch to your school. It's what everyone sees. We're talking millions of people every Saturday form their opinion of Mississippi State University based on what they see on TV.

Do you know the opinion that many people form when they see the trailer home in the South Endzone? Cheap. They think we are poor & cheap.

Do you know what recruits who are trying to decide between us, Bama, LSU, Auburn, A&M think when they walk into our stadium? Cheap. They aren't at the same status as those other places. They sell family because they have too.

Looks matter people! Getting the correct logo on the helmet & getting rid of the Wal-Mart logo MATTERS!

We can be the greatest university in the world & have the greatest family atmosphere known to man, but the pool of people that will want to be a part of this great university will never be what it could be until we get the appearance right.

Just sick & tired of people in the bubble not seeing it. Please for goodness sakes fix the eye sores that millions of people see on TV each & every week.

We can disagree about what should be done in that endzone, but we should all agree that something has to be done. It's way past time.

Get the priorities straight!

I get mad about it every day. It's mind boggling that the administration, who's done a great job lately, keeps missing the forests for the trees on this.

They keep letting individual coaches influence them instead of doing what's in the best interest of MSU

I get it, but the Hump is probably the worse basketball facility in the SEC. It's hard to justify putting that off any longer.

Far less people see the Hump or develop their opinion of Mississippi State off the Hump than the do DWS.

Honestly, both projects have been put off way too long.

Wheres your checkbook?

LOL. There's always one.

Our soon to be $130 million dollar athletic budget gives you the middle finger

Wrong again

I have talked with a few people and we are pursuing getting approval for our athletic department to hire you as a consultant for our sports' facilities and sports' program management. Cohen is ecstatic concerning this turn of events.***

Why so angry about people having their own ideas?

Do you think we should all just kiss the administration’s ring and shut up?

We have a cheap eye sore at the center piece of the front porch of the school and correcting it doesn’t seem to be a priority. Makes no sense.

"Soon to be" - CBS's contract runs thru the 2023 football season. Three more years, which means that payday is in 2025 - after we have completed the 2024 season.

Should we be planning for improvements, yes. But, if we have already said the Hump is the next project it's easy to understand why they are focusing on that with the money we have.

Y’all give Shotgun a break..... he’s running out of things to start new threads about.

Has to be bitching about something at all times.

I get it, but the Hump is probably the worse [sic] basketball facility in the SEC. It's hard to justify putting that off any longer.

I've only been in one other SEC facility (Georgia), and it's bigger, but the quality seems to be about the same as the Hump. It's getting a facelift pretty soon anyway.

This was years ago but I remember talking to someone from MSU (may have been Greg Byrne but honestly can't remember) and this was while we were building/planning to enclose the South endzone of Davis Wade but anyway...

They said that the fact that our stadium wasn't enclosed affected perception in recruiting because it made us "look like" a smaller school. The person said we should have enclosed the stadium instead of adding an upper deck to the East side at that time because it would have been overall more beneficial.

So, there is something to what Shotgun is saying even if people don't want to hear it.

[Bothrops]

We don't even have the worst stadium in the SEC west or east.

[Todd4State]

We don't even have the worst stadium in the SEC west or east.

Yeah. I've been to them all. Davis Wade is pretty nice as far as football stadiums go. And I haven't really been in our premium areas before. Renovating under the stadium was the right decision to make.

[Coursesuper]

But if we close in the south endzone we won't be able to afford the roof.

Some people just don't get it.

On TV we do. In person means very little compared to perception on TV. 60K compared to 3 mil

Only Vandy's looks worse on TV

I think this is the 12th thread you've made about this since I joined.
