My God- watching the 2007 Egg Bowl is sickening

[Goldendawg]

He lost me at Maine. Remember the Maine!

"Well, I didn't see that one coming". Croom after 45-0 Egg Bowl loss at Ole Miss when he had lost the team and supposedly didn't know it though making $1 mil to be a "Head Football Coach" in the SEC and don't even mention our Alabama Lite unis from Russell Athletic.

BTW, why can't we put the interlocking MSU back on our helmets? I've always liked that helmet design as in Coach 34's avatar. Does Nike have the copyright? I even heard tha Montana State has the rights to it. I also got tired of Croom blaming Jackie and throwing him under the bus when he had discipline issues on his own teams as many teams unfortunately have.

Nike owns it- but for the life of me cant understand why we dont just design another interlocking MSU

I dig our current logo.

Same reason they refuse to put just MSU on the front of the jersey's instead of the hideous legal banner Mississippi State.

key statement is "for the life of me I can't understand". Complete BS. Nike doesn't own it and could care less. Why would they? Are they making tons of $ off it, LOL. Quit buying that line. We could use it if we wanted to and for some reason (haha) we don't want to. Nothing pizzes me off more than this.
Do all you guys really believe Nike keeps us from using an interlocking MSU? Really?

Yes...Nike owns that. It's their copyright/trademark. And the way that we and Nike left, was not the best of terms to leave.

[FlabLoser]

FACT: Nike owns it. That doesn't mean we couldn't use it if we wanted to.

FACT: No school in MS has the word "Mississippi" in their brand.

FACT: Stricklin claims ownership of the state as part of our branding strategy.

Remember "This is our State"? That wasn't smack talk. It was branding.

FACT: Strick wants "Mississippi" written out on the front of our jerseys because no other school is branding themselves with our state.

Some of you folks just want to bitch about logos. Some of you just can't accept facts. Some of you have short memories or weren't paying attention when Strick explains all this stuff early in the Mullen era. It's not rocket science.

I have also thought that Ole Miss using the "M" and us using the "M" with the State banner across it has helped many in the nation continue to get the two schools mixed up. I guess I am getting fixed in my ways as I grow older, but the interlocking MSU was not as apt to be mixed up with their "M". I have never cared for the M State, it is no doubt here to stay.

[FlabLoser]

U of M's insistence on calling themselves a slave's nickname for the wife of a plantation owner is a big reason there is national confusion between the two schools.

Could you imagine a national quiz like this: Which school is Ole Miss: a) Mississippi State University or b) The University Of Mississippi? You'd probably get a 50-50 split.

[Hail State]

I tell you I know most hate Croom as a coach but he is a great man and truly cared for his players. I will always support all our former coaches (aslong as they don't coach against us that is)

Croom was an asshole and so are you.

I love that "legal banner". That is my fav followed by the dog on M and the cowbell
