    Our whole athletic department need to take their jobs more seriously

    I know people come to State as a training ground to go elsewhere, but while you are here, do things right.

    Things like that big bell falling over, the app never working right, no marketing for spring game? all that is bush league and show lack of care.

    We have to demand they do their jobs with a sense of urgency and requirement to do it well.

    Right now they are severely lacking in my opinion.

    They are running a church league athletic departments

    They get paid a lot. Demand excellence !

    Our NIL effort also lacking.

    What we should do
    - be creative and find ways that every person can give money and promote that hard , as well as go to big money peoples

    What we do
    -go to big money donors

    Lacking effort , garbage.

    We can all just sit here and wait for Elon Musk to become a State fan I guess.

    The coaches don?t want the spring game and rightfully so.

    It allows other coaches to scout improvement of individuals and make a play for them to transfer. This drives up your NIL budget.

    Times are changing and we are behind the times on something?s but inline with others.

    Be a dynamic thinker instead of a static thinker.

    Yeah, do 7 on 7 drills. Play with Frat Boys, not like people are watching the game. It's all Alcohol.

    Last game I went to, my son kept me in the chick-fil-a line.

    When it comes to NIL, you can't out-bid Crazy why not let Alabama and Ohio State people donate their houses, estates, 401ks, and Stock Options for backup QBs and then just laugh at the idiots.

    No doubt that Keith Carter and company are running circles around us as they are ahead of us in most all team sports now. For the school year out of 16 SEC teams we are 16th in football, 9th in MBB, 10th in WBB and currently 14th in baseball. At least softball is sitting 6th at the moment so kudos to them.

    That is what they will say. And I?ve heard them say it.


    Say you?re running a business for investors and throw up hands and say, well our industry sucks and do nothing about it?..your ass will be gone if you don?t adapt.

    The message from many of our fans is

    ?We dont have enough money so we cant compete. So quit trying, there is no point.?

    Total defeatist.

    I do believe the revamp should include the top tier. Still not sure about Selmon but nothing impressive thus far.

    Ha, Ha. That is what I been saying. OM and others sell their soul for what? A cheesy bowl game but nothing to show for it. I'll sit back and watch everyone grip and complain when their investments yield nothing and I'll still have a little money. Most of these players will just piss it away in a year or two and then be back looking for work later. The whole thing is a sham. Fed, I guess us engineers are just too rational in thinking.

    I agree, you don't have to spend 30 mil to win. Anyone know what Ariz St. spent to make the playoffs this past year? Bet is wasn't much.
