Why is Miss State in the SEC?

[volbound1700]

Dang, losing 35-3 to Toledo. We could kick them out and add Oklahoma State or some other team.

I'm glad we play them this year. Need another easy game with the hard stretch coming up

when I saw that scroll across bottom of screen a minute ago I thought I was imaging things … what in the world ?!?

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

I think they are a founding member.

Their fans are giving the hail state aka “showtime “ X (twitter) page the business

These morons are still in there ringing their cowbells while being down 38-10 to toledo.

Give them a break. Mike Leach died less than 2 years ago. They were a top 10 team with Dan Mullen at the helm, also.

They are a founding member of the SEC, along with Georgia Tech, Sewannee, and Tulane.

Wonder where the OP wants to put em.

They are ....

Useless Trivia :

They also used to call themselves "Maroons" which was a term for escaped slaves.

You may be young. Look up who we had to beat in the 98 SEC championship game to advance to the National Championship game. State has had their moments. Granted their location is tough and facilities aren't what the top of the league are. However in cycles they have teams that are difficult outs with physical defensive teams. Beyond all that they are a baseball force and have made a Final Four before.

I don't understand how a state like Mississippi has two SEC schools anyways. They should just combine resources and make one juggernaut program.

They could beat Florida next week in the Depression Bowl presented by Prozac.

At least they are in the Southeast...

MSU is a founding member that brings absolutely nothing to the conference in 2024.

At least Vandy brings the academics...

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Everyone knew this was gonna be an extremely rough year for MSU. They lost Leach. He was a clown but the guy knew offense. So does Lebby but he is a first year head coach. The guys on his team were recruited for Leachs system. MSU is a quality program.

Nooo. Can't do that. Remember Georgia St.?

Vanderbilt goes first.

Because the rich people don’t want their daughters dating the poor people. That’s why Mississippi has two state schools.

Vanderbilt goes first.

We have some squatters to evict first. Missouri and South Carolina.

We didn't get blown out by them. Plus Miss State adds nothing. Mississippi is a small state and you really only need Ole Miss.

They bring states/markets. We don't need 2 Mississippi teams. 1 is enough.

This is his second year.

I was at their game. Garbage teams find a way. ECU, Southern Miss, Wake Forest, and Northwestern had runs but it doesn't mean they are great programs. Miss State would be literally my first team to are from the league even over Vandy. Vandy has at least academics. Granted, I am really not a fan of us aging them, I am just trolling because that was embarrassing frustrating yesterday.

 

[Volnanza]

Why are so many always talking about kicking other schools out of the SEC? It reminds me of the short story "The Lottery". Every week it's kick somebody out of the conference talk. Do you really want to play an even harder schedule next year?

Same reason Tennessee does and at one time they had 3, GA at one time had 2, Louisiana - 2. Alabama - 2, Tx now has 2. So what is the point. Google is your friend. Every school goes through a drought and has when you look at their past. Also look at the school they are down in football but not in other sports. Even Vanderbilt has won more NC in the past 10 years than Tennessee. Vanderbilt has 6 National Team Championships --- 3 are in bowling, 2 in Baseball, and 1 in women's Tennis...LOL A NC is a NC. We got one.
It is kind of like somebody has to love the fat one.
