The lemonis era has to end

And the really bad thing about the LFL stuff is that people are calling them out for it and they just double down on it. Like just admit that we don't need to be feeding the opposing team a 4 course meal after they kick our ass and that it's a bad look. Maybe admit that they don't need to trip over themselves and push Mississippi State fans out of the way so they can be the first person to give a Texas fan a 12 oz filet and a case of Michelob.

I can't really pinpoint when the going out of our way so we could get noticed on Twitter crap started but I think it was around the 2019 postseason when the CMU baseball team came out to the outfield and then the Supers that year when David Esquer's wife wrote that article talking about how nice our fans were. It seems like ever since then we've had fans that try to fall all over themselves to see who can get noticed on Twitter for being the nicest person. I won't call them out by name, but you can get on Twitter and easily figure out who I'm talking about. And it's not just Everett and Silva. There's another big one that I got into an argument with yesterday about it. I told him it looked silly as shit that we were feeding the other team and their fans after they beat us. You can't make them see it though at this point. They're too far down the rabbit hole of trying to see who's going to mention them in a tweet.

This is a terrible take. It is the best form of promotion that our school has now. Period. You are always running down Starkville and what a craphole it is and now you want us to run off the thing that outsiders like the most about our sports and university. Do you not think it affects players? Do you not think that kids and parents of players look at this as an opportunity? All these small schools with portal quality players that come here - a good staff would be using it as a way to make sure those kids want to come play here the following season. You and I both live in Texas - do you know how well they think of us now? They actually want to go to Starkville now. They want to spend money there. And that only helps with recruiting here. Baseball circles are small and people talk. Heck this morning - the main podcaster for Texas baseball was praising everything about Starkville - said he would say the same if we swept them. He's promoting our school. Texas baseball kids know about state because of that atmosphere. That's why we get so many recruits from here. Just a terrible take all the way around.
