The Governor's Cup

[StarkVegasSteve]

I will say that I don't envy anyone who has had to routinely talk or write about MSU athletics in the last 3 years on a professional level.

I do not either. It is not easy, not that it was a walk in the park at any other time. But it is the fact that for the longest time we blasted OM for having the most biased fan boy media when it fact it is us. And hell, at least their fan boy media was positive. I think ours actively roots against Mississippi State so they can go watch WWE or go float.

Y'all sound like damn teenage girls. Goodness

Ok Robbie settle down. It is a message board. We are giving our opinion. Lord knows you do it enough.

Lol I'm sorry these men have hurt you this much.

Not Robbie btw but I'm sure you'll provide a 5 paragraph essay as to why you think I am.

[Pancho]

The guys referenced don't provide much in the way of front page or breaking information and I'm not sure some of us don't get certain information before they do. I do think they are a silly lot for the most part. Maybe the baseball money guys and Selmon find us a real baseball HC soon and all this stress you feel will decrease.

So tell me what he has done that is positive other than harass the groundskeeper into getting the end zones painted and promoting a Hardy concert?

He hasn't hurt me. He has hurt MSU.

If it is the guys looking for a baseball coach that were rumored on here- I am very optimistic.

He hasn't hurt MSU at all. He's pissed some people at MSU off. I'll admit that. But y'all vastly overestimate the power these writers and podcasters have.

You can probably find something positive he's done. For someone yall hate so much, you sure do seem to know a lot of what he has to say.

Bad news and outrage is the business model, it gets clicks which sells adds.

[Pancho]

I am with you on that Todd, 100%. Several names have been mentioned and each will be an upgrade over Lemons

How can you not? He posts it on every message board he is on and tweets about it incessantly. You do not have to listen to their podcast to know exactly what they talk about. I do enjoy turning on their podcast when we win to listen to the mental gymnastics they do to still say they were right and be negative.

And like you said, he has pissed some people, it is actually a lot of people, off at MSU. Hell 2 of the 3 big 3 coaches hate him and think he is a pompous untalented prick. Source on that one is Christopher Paul Jans. Lemonis called him a 17 idiot. Source on that is Kyle Cheeseborough and Jake Gautreau.

He probably is a nice guy and seems like a family man. I probably would not hate Robbie Faulk the person. I do think Robbie Faulk the character he tries to play is a tired lame ass shtick.

Idk if you've been paying attention, but not a lot positive has happened for Mississippi State Athletics for the last 4 years or so. Of course there's negativity. We absolutely suck in 2 of the big 3 sports.

Lemonis hating him actually makes me like him more. I want the opposite of whatever Lemonis thinks. He hates him because unlike Steve who is too busy trying to be Lemon's bff, Faulk and Hadad actually say what's happening is unacceptable.

Does he have flaws? Sure. He's got a short temper and can't take criticism. But give me him over the sunshine cult every day of the week. I just think it's weird to obsessively hate the guy like an ex gf but yall do yall

Short temper and cannot take criticism is not good qualities to have in journalism. The reason I do not like him is that he thinks he speaks for the fanbase. But if you attack him then he is just a poor preachers kid and a high school sports reporter trying to provide for his family. He wants to be a journalist but does not want to be treated like one. That is my issue. That is why I am on the coaches side on that issue. He criticizes them so they have the right to tell him he is a 17 idiot. But he is a preachers kid so he cannot be attacked. He has made me like Brian more though because Brian understands he is not a journalist and does not remotely try to be. He is just thankful he is not slinging pizzas at Papa John’s anymore.

I don't think he thinks he speaks for the fanbase. The whole "preachers kid" argument you're making is weird. I've never seen him say "I'm just a preachers kid" when he's arguing with someone.

Like I said, he's got flaws. But he's not the anti-Christ lmao

I have watched him make that argument when he was attacked. If he would just come out and say that he is just a fan and is pretending to be a journalist I would not care. He wants to be a journalist when he is saying all this stuff thinking he is speaking for the fanbase, which he does think btw I have it on good authority, but when he is attacked or someone criticizes him he wants to be just a regular average Joe fan. I will say that he has made me like Brian a lot more. Brian understands he is not a journalist and does not try to be one. He is just thankful that he is not slinging pizzas at Papa John’s.

Again, I think Robbie Faulk the person is probably a good dude. It is Robbie Faulk the character that I have issues with.

I don't see him pretending not to be a fan and trying to be an unbiased journalist at all. He grew up here and went to school here. Of course he's going to be a fan.

These are silly things to have issues with but you do you man.

I just have an issue with fan boys pretending to be media. And marketing themselves as media.

[Pancho]

I spoke to all of these guys a few weeks ago and nothing about them and nothing about them screams journalist.

That is because they are not. But only one of them admits it. That is why I think David Johnson and Yancy Porter are massive losers too. They are not journalists. They are fanboys, but try to act like journalists.
