Who is this panty wasit mongaloid on BSR right now?

[preachermatt83]

Man that's just sad. I vow now to do everything in my power to see that he is blackballed even if I am all alone.

Shocked to hear that HD6 likes Stevens*

I actually think HD6 is good on the radio, but I just never understand why he allows guys like Stevens and people like the rebel trolls that he protects on SPS to ruin everything MSU that he is involved in.

The only thing I can think is that controversy is better for message boards and radio than just being all in for MSU. And he must hold his business above MSU. I may be wrong though.

I think it's just a different view he has on things. I think you think like me - all in for State and if you're not for us you're against us. He sees it as objectivity, or something like that. I do think he is good on radio, and I agree with most of what he says.

Well the manager of Bulldog Sports Radio is Brian Hadad, or HD6 from 6-pack fame. He is probably the only person who likes Stevens for some reason. Just like you didn't know who he was, I doubt many others do either. And many don't realize the day in age we are in where MSU can control the message and are not subject to the whims of the media - many still think we are in the era of when journalism is important.

I don't think Stevens has an agenda against MSU, but he thinks he's a hard hitting journalist so he has no bones about exposing MSU if possible (i.e. Will Redmond). I have no proof, but I think the owners of the Dispatch are OM people, and have him as the MSU beat reporter because they know he will expose them without being accused of being a OM homer because clearly he is a carpetbagger.

actually, some OM ties and some of the kids went to AL and Northwestern , I believe. The Commercial Dispatch readership has declined by, I'd say, at least 60% - 70% in recent years. There's just not much to it unless you want to read about the "illustrious" Mayor and city council, which are a bunch of buffoons. They can't be paying him very much.. I just don't get Stevens. Some of the few articles I have read (in my Mom's paper when I visit) have been generally decent, but he comes across as an @$$ in the mean time...

You should start @MattyDispatch back up. Stevens had it suspended because I didn't put "parody" in the description. You'd have to call it @MattyDispatch2 because the other one still exists, but is unseen.

This is our biggest problem in the media world in general, most everyone in Mississippi in media (owners, publishers, reporters, etc.) are either OM folks or have no affiliation one way or the other. There is NOBODY in the MS media defending MSU that is for darn sure and that is why EVERYTHING negative that happens around MSU is in the paper so fast it makes your head spin while negative OM stuff either is greatly delayed in getting in the media or never gets reported on at all.

Mathew Steven. Mullen basically called him stupid last week so he has an agenda

Yeah, that was great. He was about to ask a stupid question and so he said "I'm about to ask a stupid question". Mullen promptly stated that "there are no stupid questions just stupid people who ask questions (paraphrased)".

[woozman]

He has his own show. It's relatively new so that's probably why they don't list him. He used to have a show way back when but as I mention here (http://maroonandwhitenation.com/2013...tevens-enigma/) he thought BSR was a "cheerleader for MSU" so he quit. Also, his only friend was Wardlaw, so that should help in understanding what a goon this guy is.

That show is actually not too bad. I really like the co-host, Joel.

[The Croom Diaries]

I decided to listen to the show after this thread. Stevens in even worse form than usual. My favorite was "hey fans, let us know what you think about Mullen blowing up before the half - please understand that your opinion doesn't matter and will have no affect on Mullen's behavior, but we'd like to hear from you". He called Mullen a raving lunatic about 5 times in that show. If anyone decides to listen, just listen to the second half of it.

[preachermatt83]

I'm gonna do it. Haha.

[preachermatt83]

That was for the matty dispatch.

He and Matt had a special relationship at one time. They share the same agenda as far as MSU football goes. HD6's wife got tired of Matt hanging out in the bedroom all the time so she booted him from the house. Now the only way they see each other is on BSR. HD6 should stick to making pizzas and I have encouraged several MSU businesses to stop their ads as long as Stevens is on board. Of course the Imes don't give a shit about Mississippi State so he will be there forever along with this former inmate Slim who takes every chance to berate the coaches and players. He's their so called managing editor with an inmate background.

Serious question... I'll wait for your reply

[messageboardsuperhero]

Our administration needs to sit every beat writer we have down and explain to them that their credentials are a privilege, not a right.

You don't have to pump sunshine up your reader's asses and be the administration's mouthpiece, but if you go out of your way to try to hurt the athletic department (ie. the bs Will Redmond story, the overblown nature of Quay's ticket, etc.) then your privileges will be revoked and you'll probably lose your job. No other school puts up with the amount of shit we do from our own regional media.

They need us to stay afloat more than we need them to write damaging stories about us. Let them know this Stricklin.

You kind of have to be careful with that because the media likes to stick together and if we did actually black ball a writer then we would get harassed by all kinds of media - national, etc. They would figure out ways to make our program look bad. While we don't need the local media to get out the message anymore, we don't need them and especially the regional and national media against us. It will affect recruiting. I think MSU does about as much as they can to Stevens aside from just totally refusing to answer his questions. Just in the last week Mullen called him stupid at a press conference. They all despise him. Everyone gives him the cold shoulder. Stevens is just so tone deaf he doesn't recognize what's going on.

Right now we have Logan Lowery - MSU guy. Mike Bonner - done nothing bad. Gene, Robbie, Bob and Paul are all for MSU. Ben Wait no one even knows about hardly. Stevens is the only issue - he's the only one who is out of their control. The rest of them realize they have to toe the party line to get more information out of the athletic department. Steven's source (Wardlaw) is gone so I don't anticipate much more out of him. Overall, I think MSU does a pretty good job handling the media - better than it used to be. I wrote a story about this last week (sorry to keep dropping links, shameless self promotion) http://maroonandwhitenation.com/2013...mockery-media/ - MSU has them ALL in lock step with the belief that Mullen will get an extension and there is no chance he will be fired even if we lose out. Even the hierarchy of this board has bought in. It's part of controlling the message, which they are doing well.

kinda off topic, but who is the tall dark haired guy with glasses that you always see in the background of all the interviews (handler)
