Brandon Walker Brings It

[Jarius]

We have a large enough fanbase to force change at that paper. Any MSU fan that still has a subscription to that paper is being ridiculous. It's 2016 and they offer nothing that you can't get on 6 other websites (for free might I add). There is no reason not to cancel.

[AusTexDawg]

Pulling credentials is a douche move. The university should not be involved.

Agree. As government entities, neither MSU nor TSUN should attempt to censor media coverage with which they disagree, which is what a revocation of all of the CL's sports credentials would be in this case.

If you're looking for an alternative, the Commercial Dispatch has probably the best beat coverage of any traditional print media outlet and has written some really nice profiles on players throughout the year.

Well Walker grabbed the refrigerator moment because I'll now listen to his show. Nailed it. Love this guy.

[War Machine Dawg]

This is simple guys.. We need to be extremely vocal about this on all social media. Complain to the Clarion Ledger and Complain to MSU TO FORCE A CHANGE.
Hugh Kellenberger HAS TO GO. Or the Clarion Ledger HAS TO LOSE THEIR CREDENTIALS.

Like I said last night, everyone needs to tweet, email, or call Scott and ask him when the CL's media credentials will be revoked. Enough is enough. It's time to play hardball and show them who needs who. In the world of new media, there are tons of other options. They can either start covering us fairly or be shut out.

Us message board people are the lunatic fringe. It would take a large section of the fan base to drop them, and it's just not gonna happen. Voice your displeasure and drop your subs. In the end, it won't change a thing.

The cross section of Internet message board users and newspaper subscribers isn't substantial enough to even move the needle for the clarion ledger. By all means quit giving them your money, but it isn't going to change squat.

You are correct, not enough folks will do something about them to make a difference. For myself, I would start boycotting them except for the fact that I was already boycotting them.

Every State fan should consider the old quote: "All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing."

Oh geez.

[Todd4State]

Pulling credentials is a douche move. The MSU fans around MS and the country have to make the 'Liar shut it down. The university should not be involved. They are effected, but we as fans have to step up on this one.

I can tell you for a fact the St. Louis Cardinals have pulled credentials before. And it worked pretty well.

[sandwolf]

Oh geez.

Granted, the post you quoted is over the top, but don't you live in Georgia? Because you sure are quick to jump in and make light of the fact that the state's only major newspaper takes shots at us every chance they get.....pretty easy to make comments like 'Yall care way too much about that newspaper.' or whatever you said in a different thread when you don't live here and don't have to put up with it. I'm not trying to be a dick because you are generally a solid poster, but I have seen you weigh in on this topic a few times acting like everyone is being ridiculous and it comes across as pompous and arrogant when you don't even live here.

If I am remembering wrong and you do live in MS, then my apologies. Otherwise, stop acting like State fans that live here are being petty for wanting the only state wide newspaper to treat us with a little ****ing respect.

So we should help them provide unwarranted negative coverage of ourselves? I don't think so. That isn't censorship. That is holding them accountable for what they do.

[Dolphus Raymond]

Ok I just listened to it and it will go down in MSU history as an "epoch making event". Damn I would hate to be Kellenburger.

[Boodawg]

I'm so tired of OM fans posing as state fans calling these sports shows and telling state fans they shouldn't make a big deal about this kind of stuff. What a bunch of losers and posers. I couldn't find it in me to call myself an OM fan if I wasn't and I bet half that call in are posers. Blows my mind. Heard one on the 105.9 the zone today. Idiots.

[DancingRabbit]

As others have said, I don't think Scott should pull their credentials. To those outside the state, I think it would appear petty.

Needs to be fans on social media, fansite media and other media to shame them into cleaning up their act - and a good first move would be to let Kellenberger go.

Nothing wrong coaches or PR folks like Carskadon taking an occasional appropriate pot-shot at them though.

Yep. Dear Ol State fans: Get pissed, bitch a while, continue letting the pimp beat the shit out of you.

Why should we give two shits how it looks? Plenty of others have done it and no one has cared or noticed.

Bingo. These asshats don't know the difference in censorship and accountability. Censorship: Print what we want or get shut down. Accountability: Print what you want but we reserve the right to respond accordingly, i.e. pulling media credentials.

Yes

The best part is that he sounds like John C. Reilly. Makes me think I have Cal Naughton, Jr. Telling me about MSU.

Most people IN Mississippi won't care or for that matter even hear about it. I seriously doubt anyone outside the state will care. In the unlikely event they hear of it they will just be shocked that there are enough people here who can read to even support a paper.
