I'm on a mission...

[AugustaDawg]

This message board has become part of the problem not the solution. THAT IS A FACT. Argue with me all you want...call me "genespage", say "yeah go team!", tell me "this is just a message board"... I don't give a shit. BC THAT IS NOT THE FOUNDATION OF MY ARGUMENT.

If you want to be part of the solution you fix the problem behind the scenes, not publicly. Anytime you publicly talk negative about yourself you will make the people who are listening believe it. Therefore, you have become part of the PROBLEM.

Bring it on!!!!

..a messageboard that has only about 20-30 people post on it on a consistent basis is affecting anything, much less anthing to do with MSU athletics.

This is a venue for everybody to bitch; if you are too sensitive to the bitching, then yes.

You belong on genespage.

Your "mission" should be to stop acting like an idiot.

[TrapGame]

I can't just go up to Mullen and say "Hey coach how bout..." It doesn't work that way. I'm not the one trotting Bell out there. I'm not the one putting Tyler in for a three and out after Dak just drove the field twice and scored both times. I'm not the one that looks like he has a ***** after having a 12" inch dick for two years that slapped OM across the face. Dude, it ain't me. I'm tired of seeing shit on the field that should not be there in year 5!!

Open your ears dude. Hell, Bo Bounds was discussing it this morning on his radio show....Validating my point.

All I know is apparently talking negatively hurts but talking positively helps nothing. No fan base was more on board with the program and positive than MSU's was after the 7-0 start last year. However, all that seemed to have lead to since that time is one bad loss after another to any team worth a flip.

If you honestly believe that by getting on a message board and have having multiple threads, daily, discussing who our next head coach should be or calling out individual players has any positive impact on our football program, then our definition of an "idiot" are completely different.

That seems like about the time that not only did the team panic and semi-quit but so did the fanbase (at least a portion of it). Having a portion of the fanbase quitting on the team was just as bad as Mullen changing his coaching style/approach.

[MadDawg]

Our right to publically bash our program, our coaches and players is sacrosanct. It's the one thing our fans value above all others.

This is simple.

Talking negative = Hurts your program more than it helps.
Talking positive = May not help your program but won't hurt it.

Again - let me emphasize on the basis of my argument. It is all relative to what is being said by our fans publicly and even worse written...(message boards, call in radio shows, etc.)

You're putting things out there for ppl to use against us.

Yea, after the 2nd or 3rd skulldragging some fans quit but that would have happened anywhere. When you are getting blown off the field repeatedly fans tend to get negative, that's just reality with any fanbase.

[QUOTE=Ronny;75331]..a message board that has only about 20-30 people post on it on a consistent basis is affecting anything

That's the problem here. The 20-30 people who are doing this on a consistent basis have become the voice of our fan base via message boards. The other 99% of our fans who realize that nothing good comes out of getting on the internet and bashing our team and players are being represented by that 1%. That needs to change.

First, I don't get on here & discuss future football coaches.

I see "Hud" tossed around, but I don't even know who Hud is. Once I become curious enough, I will Google "Hud."

But I do discuss our current coach, & his idiotic penchant to act like an idiot during games. To go for it on 4th & 27 for example.

Or to start running up the middle after you've completed 5 20 yd passes in a row. I could go on, but you get the picture.

If Mullen acts like a ass during a game & I point that out here how does that weaken Mullen?

when everybody knows we should be much better than that with what we have...

3 months ago, I agreed with you.

I'm at the point now that I don't care what happens with one recruiting class. I'm discussing what I feel in in the better longterm interest of our program going forward. And let's face facts -- there are a few excellent pieces there, but it's not an elite class right now.

How do you know that there aren't a bunch of recruits out there that think, "damn, I really like it down at MSU -- and Coach Hudspeth down at ULL seems like a great guy -- but I can't stand Mullen and my recruiting coach Hevesy". Those guys exist too. And you don't have to go very far to run into one of them.

And "my" faction goes a helluva lot farther than 1%. We'll see if it's even a minority by the end of the season...

see one almost once a week...

Open your ears dude. Hell, Bo Bounds was discussing it this morning on his radio show....Validating my point.

Were you listening last Friday when Bounds ripped into Mullen for some of the stupid shit he did Thursday night? It wasn't pretty. I guess recruits listening to Bo's show coulda gotten the wrong impression too.
