Every time I see the Mstate it reminds me of a reflection of laziness and lack of creativity at the time. Thank goodness Polk or whoever on the baseball side of things balked at allowing it on the baseball uniforms, even though there was a season or so where the university tried it.
The Flying M at least derived from the academic side of the university and has history and meaning. Allows the conversation of the logo to involve MSU academics and involvement in the space program.
The Flying M is unique as a logo, whereas the Mstate is a graphic type seen by a few other schools also. Iowa State, Marshall come to mind quickly.
No offense, but we started using the MState in basketball at least as early as '96, and started putting on the 50 yard line in 1997. Marshall didn't adopt a logo with the M and a bar with "The Herd" on it until 2001.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""
