One of the biggest obstacles that Miss State has to overcome is not whether or not we should be promoting football or basketball or baseball, it’s more the fact that many students who attend State do not prioritize sports the way other SEC programs do because they are so into outdoor activities like hunting, fishing etc. This is a main part of the reason we do not have the same support as the majority of the other SEC schools. While a lot of that has to do with the type of programs State has to offer, I think it also goes back to our general lack of success overall in football and basketball. Not saying people on here or all state fans are like that, but there is no doubt we are one of the few SEC schools who put other interests above sports.
