    I really would've liked to have said Stevens and Rosebowl only but there wasn't an option for that. Let me explain, Stevens and Rosebowl should be shit canned for obvious reasons. However, and it may not be popular, but Gene I think deserves to stick around. The ONLY reason I say that is because I consider him a sunshine pumper. We have all talked about how we need our media pulling in the same direction and being positive like OM's. Just my .02

    I agree, I'd have voted for a "Stevens & Rosie only" option. But since I didn't have that, I went with the total banhammer. There's definitely a place for a sunshine pumper like Gene in terms of helping the fan base & media all pull in the same direction.

    I voted none. Why? If they really are media, I believe in the freedom of the press. If they are only opinions, then one asshole is no better than another.

    Pretty close race between Stevens and "all of the above" so far.

    I'm OK with Gene. He hasn't done anything to hurt MSU lately. If you say that, well- Rosebowl is part of his site, and therefore they are together- I can buy that.

    There's freedom of speech- but MSU should also protect itself and not put itself out there to be bashed.

    Rosebowl has hurt us three years in a row, and he still claims no wrong doing and that he's really right. He is either one of the most arrogant people in the world or incredibly clueless.

    1. Matt Stevens, yesterday. He is a consistent liability.

    2. Rosebowl & Jean - Their roles, along with Michael Wardlaw, in DeVinner gate are grounds for loss of credentials. Otherwise, I have to say I like Jean better than Rosebowl only for the sunshine pumping. I don't particularly like sunshine pumping, but pumping sunshine beats wet blanket reporting or negativity bias (Kyle Veazey) any day.

    My only problem with that is Jean, 247, and Rivals are fan sites of the school. They are supposed to be for the betterment of the school- not to cause problems

    Well you can absolutely forget about anyone from Genespage getting their credentials revoked. The athletic department loves them, and there are even guys who work for MSU who openly post on their message board. They get whatever they want from the admin and are loved like none other. Part of the problem is that our admin buys into the idea that Bracky is good for MSU, and don't know view Rosebowl and Gene's affiliation with DeVinner near the same many on this board (including me) do.

    Stevens could potentially get his revoked.

    I don't think Rosebowl ever even gets credentialed at MSU, how often does he even step foot on campus? I do appreciate some of the coverage Gene provides, and while he doesn't fall in line with my ideals I can still appreciate what he does and would not advocate for him to get his credentials revoked.

    This right here is why I laugh every time I see the same few folks doing everything that they can to push the idea that Gene and/or Steve are detrimental to MSU. I mean, I can completely understand thinking that they suck as people and just not liking them, but to try to push the idea that they "hurt MSU 3 years in a row," etc., etc., is completely absurd and it really makes it look like you have a hidden agenda.......anyone with half a brain knows that the athletic department would not be such big fans of them if half of what yall say is true.

    All we have done here is show what Steve and Jean have pulled. It's up to you "half a brain" people to sort out the info

    I voted all of the above. However I would have voted for Stevens and Rosebowl if that was an option!

    Steve's outburst this weekend about Bryant helped MSU how?

    Last year -- he tweeted all about Mackensie Alexander, a 5*, committing to us during the middle of his official visit at MSU. Alexander was then bombarded by reporterse seeking comment -- and had to issue a bunch of different denials. He didn't get to enjoy his OV to the fullest extent possible -- and left with a sour taste in his mouth about the whole ordeal -- before later actually signing with Clemson. How did Steve help us here?

    Two years ago, he tweeted that Beniquez and Richie Brown both committed to MSU. Both were intending on having signing day announcements. Well, he jumped the gun on them. Actually did it twice for Beni. And stole their thunder. How was this good for MSU?

    ALL of that is public record. Explain to me how it was good for MSU.

    If not wanting one of our recruiting reporters to hurt MSU is an agenda, then I guess I have an agenda.

    If the athletic dept. can't see how Rosebowl- more specifically than Gene- has hurt us, then they are blind. I can't believe that Dan would approve of some of the things that he has done.

    Like I said- if he had simply said that Bryant went on an OV to USM- then that's doing his job. He took it to the next level by saying that his scholarship was gone when it's now obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that wasn't the case. That's something that could have unneccessarily cost us a good player, not to mention the fact that the whole incident caused to coaches to take time away from the OV this weekend as well.

    The Redmond investigation was about to be over with him getting a light wrist slap until a few MSU recruiting reporters cozied up to DeVinner and got him talking publicly. It cost Redmond roughly 15 additional games and probation.

    Did that hurt MSU? Hell yes.

    This has nothing to do with freedom of the press. Freedom of the Press means that the press is free to report whatever they want. It does not guarantee them sources -- especially privileged sources.

    Mississippi State does not have to allow inside access to anyone any more than you have to allow someone into your backyard to report on your annual cookout.

    This is exactly my point. If genespage was actually doing things that hurt our football program, Mullen would come down on them like a ton of bricks and he would have them blackballed. The bottom line is that the folks with all the facts (or at least more of the facts than you, coach, engie, etc. have) think very highly of them, and I would say that is fairly solid evidence that they are not doing things that hurt MSU.
