Mason decommits and commits to UPig

I disagree. Our fan base is smaller and thus we have less money, but our fans are very passionate. Look at our attendance vs population of starkville and compare it to every other sec schools attendance vs the population of the city where it resides.

I go to games, give money, watch every baseball, football, basketball, and nearly every women?s basketball game. Most of us are passionate about msu athletics. The fact that people aren?t lining up to retire to starkville says a lot more about starkville and it?s leadership than our passion for msu. Hell its taken until 2017 to finally have smn like what now exists in the cotton district. The city is sitting on a gold mine and hasnt taken advantage of it for 50 years.

Our fan base isn't much smaller than OM. It's minimal. The difference is the number of people that care. I'll give you the money, that's a fact. But it's less about the number of people. As for attendance, check out basketball or football this past season. We aren't filling it up. We're a passive fan base. For every one of you, there's hundreds like I'm describing. I've been on this ship since the 70's. The passion, as a whole, at OM far exceeds what we do.
