Will they love State again?

[bully99]

Who will be the first person to "make up" with Mississippi State. These were big time supporters of State, but have little or nothing to do with State anymore.

1. Ron Polk
2. John Grisham
3. Rick Stansbury
4. None of the above

I'm saying none, because there's lots of bitterness by those guys toward State.

[Political Hack]

Grisham has part of the library named after him and raves about the LFL. I think he just has to split his alliances between us and OM since he went to law school there.

Of the other two, Polk... without a doubt. His issue was with the Ninja. Stan's is with the grasshopper and his paw-in-law.

[SDDawg]

The only one I'd want back is Polk, he made some great contributions and laid the foundation for the success we have today. Grisham is a hack that is in love with the myth of Oxford and Stans I could take or leave. Stans was always style over substance and over-hyped imho.

[Todd4State]

I would say Grisham.

I think Polk would come back if/when Cohen leaves and Polk is still alive at that time. Heck, Polk still hasn't forgiven the NCAA for Title IX.

Grisham was a situation where we shunned his kid- but he probably understood at least to a degree since Grisham was cut a Delta State when he went out for their baseball team. I think his instance was more about supporting his son's new school (Virginia) as opposed to dislike for MSU.

Stansbury- I don't know much about his situation.

I think MSU baseball is better with Polk as a part of it, and I would love to have him back. But that would be in a perfect world. As long as he is bad mouthing Cohen, he doesn't need to come back.

Why would Stands be wanted back? Our success in basketball was basically built on smoke and mirrors, he clapped like an Ole Miss fan, his best assistant, Stan Jones, he ran off, he allowed the program to be run into the ground, and he BUTCHERED the English language!!

Todd, 100% agree. No argument that Polk would need to man up and give Cohen his due. It would be worth him doing it to have him back and be part of what we have going in baseball, it has the potential to be very special over the long-term.

Shit like this makes this board almost unreadable.

What was wrong with that?

You look more like an idiot every time you discuss MSU basketball. Stans never ran off Stan Jones, he left to go back with his buddy, Leonard Hamilton at FSU. If smoke and mirrors is what we had with Stans, then it sure looks better than the crap we are watching now. You guys who have hatred for him are sick individuals. He has never done anything to hurt MSU athletics and I have yet to hear him badmouth MSU or Rick Ray. I would suggest if he were involved in any way, our basketball would be better off because we sure as hell aren't recruiting now. You remind me of the Democrats still blaming George Bush. Get over it and the people you have mentioned have all given 1 million more things to MSU than you could ever dream of doing.

Thick gave quite a bit for State on Scott Field Saturday after Saturday

Go ask the ole miss football team.**

Is this the clapping you are referring too?

[I seen it dawg]

I love you Thick.

What the hell is wrong with you people

What the hell is wrong with you people

No point to even argue with the crowd on this thread

[bluelightstar]

This thread started off good, but the Stansbury bashing took it south. And quickly.

This is from someone who definitely wanted him to "retire."
