Mississippi State will never compete on a national stage in football, ever. We simply can't afford to do it in today's climate. The best that MSU can do is to win our state, win 8 or 9 when we can and try not to have 4 and 5 win seasons. We as a University have to play the game and use what revenues we receive from our own generation and from our football and the SEC ( TV money) to prop up the sports where we do have chance to compete on a national level ( Baseball and Womens Basketball).

Back to football, the time that we had a chance to compete has passed us by, and truthfully I don't think we as an alumni base are capable of doing what is necessary to get the things done to generate the amount of funding necessary for football to play on the big stage. We as an alumni are to inbred and busy back biting each other over how to get over and 17 each other for the best seats at football and the best seats in the baseball stadium. We as a group will never get in lock step and march for the greater good, someone will 17 it up every time. It's been this way for s long as I can remember and it's not going to change.
