This is what we're fighting.

No mention of very few home games vs LSU for the better half of a century.

No mention of play Alabama every year when other schools did.

No mention of virtually no conference home games for the better half of a century.

Again, it appears that no matter how much we win, there still appears be a bad narrative.
None of those things changes any of the points that he's making in his tweets. Sherrill was our most successful coach since McKeen, and he went .500 (and had to get two Bama forfeits to get there). Mullen has had more on-field success than any other coach in the prior 60 years at MSU.

All those other items you mention don't change that. Our administration allowed it to happen because they didn't give a shit about football. That's on MSU, not the world. And for someone who routinely castigates others for being all "po' ol' MSU", you sure are making a lot of excuses for our shitty past. We sucked, with a few bright spots (Murray Warmath, 2 seasons, left for Minnesota and won a NC, Darrell Royal, 2 seasons, left for Texas, won a NC, Bob Tyler, 6 seasons, thought he could beat the NCAA, Jackie Sherrill, 10 seasons, .500 record) until Mullen came along.

Like it or not, MSU historically is the worst job in the SEC, and it will take another 10 years of winning seasons (and maybe an actual SEC title) to change that perception. Regardless, the perception of MSU HAS changed over the last decade. We aren't a laughingstock any more - we're just another average school in a vicious, soul-crushing conference.
