Sunday Morning Thoughts-Hello Darkness My Old Friend

[Jarius]

Go to the bar at Reunion, CCJ, Annandale, etc and you will see them. Go to Taste, 44 Prime, or Two Brothers when you're in Starkville and you'll see them there too. They love to brag about knowing the players and the coaches and all the "inside info" they have. It's a bunch of baseball boosters that Byrne and Stricklin told to 17 off and Cohen let them back in and let them have control. And let me tell you, the baseball boosters are a WEIRD bunch. They openly brag about taking the players and their girlfriends out to get drunk, snapchat with them, text with the girlfriends.....IT'S WEIRD.

Like Dawgology said, without Charlie Winfield(god bless that man) our NIL would be peddling autographed baseballs. Every stupid decision made from 2016 on leads back to one person. John Cohen. If you have to ask yourself why we are in the mess we are in.....John Cohen.

Want to know why we have no LED lights in football and shitty sound system but baseball has both......John Cohen

Want to know why we put lipstick on a pig in basketball, but baseball already has renovation plans for a 6 year old stadium....John Cohen

Want to know why we were 24-36 months behind EVERYONE ELSE with NIL until Charlie put it in overdrive.....John Cohen


And you know who put John Cohen in charge? Those same boosters I am talking about plus a few more who just wanted to be able to call the AD so their box could get some new stuff

There are a lot of things wrong with our athletics department but the overwhelming #1 thing that holds us back overall as an athletics department is the major boosters and school’s obsession with baseball. The best thing for our school would be for that program to completely shut down so our people would be forced to give a sh*t about the sport that actually pays the bills. The fact that our baseball stadium looks like it does and our football stadium looks like it does is an embarrassment to anyone with a fully functional brain. Bragging about having a major league level baseball park while our football stadium is rotting is embarrassing and other people in our league laugh at how damn stupid we are for doing that. We built a 70 MILLION DOLLAR baseball stadium and can’t even afford to put functional lights and speakers in the football stadium.
