See the Erick Dampier and Jeff Malone announcement that some MSU are complaining about because it wasn't "big enough" of an announcement. Which to me the only thing that is weird is that they are officially doing it in 2027 but that's fine.
Those same fans will celebrate the Snow Bowl though.
I don't know why our fans got upset about the way they did the announcement. It was a special moment that deserves celebration but as usual something negative is made of something positive. This just isn't our fans tho. It's the way the world seems to be nowadays.
For example, just look at this board when we win. It's 7-10 pages. If we lose, its 25+ pages. People love to run with the negativity. I don't get it.

This. I do believe it's a small but vocal contingent, then you have the baseball crowd (lol), then you have a small contingentnt that sees the importance of PR and pushing the program into the 21st Century...and the rest don't care. They just show up for a hot dog and overpriced beer.

That is mostly in the moment frustration though. Sure, some are always negative but there is a difference.

A lot of the football opinions and perception are MSU's administration's fault.
It seemed like in the past we were so worried about the NCAA putting us on probation that MSU literally chose to not focus on recruiting because we couldn't handle recruiting conventionally in football. So, MSU basically promoted short cuts- JUCO players and recruiting, Dan and his development model, Mike Leach being a coaching wizard...and all those things worked for the most part- the JUCO's have always been hit or miss. But none of it was ever really sustainable.
I actually think NIL and the portal are good things for MSU. But MSU has to believe that those are good things for MSU. Indiana has a worse football history than MSU. They're probably going to win a NC. Ole Miss is relatively similar to us. If Lane Kiffin was our coach would he have won at a similar clip? Probably so. And the only reason I think he might not have is because our schedule would have been more difficult. Texas Tech? They had to rely on Leach's wizardry at one time just like MSU. And sure, they have a billionaire but they're still in the same recruiting territory as Texas and A&M. In one offseason we have completely rebuilt our secondary and most of our DL, and our OL. And at the same time we retained all of our key players.

I?ve always made fun of those guys?..craves attention, little dick, about as manly as a clitoris, and the last person you would want to go to war with in this world! It?s all about perception, and perception can be as much an enemy as it can be an asset. I prefer a real man?s approach?..don?t ever be a ***** regardless of the circumstances!

I blame our tightwad "leaders" who have hired eight assistant coaches to be "on-the-job training" HC in my lifetime, and only Tyler and Mullen were successful. Heck, Shira had one of the worst coaching records in MSU history, and we promoted him to AD.

Tutors in athletic-only study centers all over college campuses are probably already doing classwork for him and other players in case they $ign with their school.*** Heck, "student athletes" like Beck at Miami should have work done on a PHD after his seven year college career!****

Hilarious that Beck admitted in an interview that he hasn't gone to class since he graduated at UGA. He backtracked but everyone knows he doesn't go to school.
Let's just admit the truth, schools normally required half your degree come from the school. Grad students naturally met that benchmark but someone who has went to 3 schools in 3 years is not going to graduate with a 4 year degree. Smoot had to sit out the Snow Bowl due to progress towards his degree, seems that isn't a thing anymore.

That is my guess based on him staying in BR an extra day and blowing off Oregon. It only makes sense
