Sheesh people, we are MSU fans right? Right?

We want Mississippi kids to stay in Mississippi right? Right?

We are willing to do what it morally takes for that to happen right? right?

What am I missing here?

I completely understand why kids are leaving Mississippi. I get it & understand it more than you'll ever know. It makes me sick to stomach though & I don't accept it & believe that WE as an MSU fan base & alumni, need to do everything ethically possible to make sure these kids stop leaving the state.

I'm not here to recruit for Bama, UGA, LSU or anyone else. I'm hear to promote MSU & to sell MSU as being the best place in the planet to develop as a college football player.

I'm just not sure what your agenda is when you sell other schools & other states. I don't get it or the reason why you choose to share that on an MSU message board.

Some of you are just walk-overs. Good gracious

Ok, "exactly" may have been poor word choice, but if you read the whole comment it made sense. No one is changing their narrative.

I think we all want whats best for MSU. My agenda is not to push other other schools or states, but I'm also going to be honest on where we are at and what we are up against.

If you want to be mad at someone, then be mad at the leaders of the state for not offering more exciting opportunities for younger generations. Be mad at past Starkville governments for holding Starkville back from what it could've been as a college town. Be mad at previous MSU athletic departments for not facilitating a history of success when it comes to football.

Am I happy kids are leaving the state? Not at all. Is it frustrating? 100%. But what I'm not about to do is shame a kid or his family for not choosing to stay here if they think they have better opportunities elsewhere. That's on us as a state and as a college for not convincing them that their best opportunity is here.
