re: Jeffery Simmons - 36 overall - #3 DE - Noxubee County, MS

You are blowing the "doesn't like Starkville" thing way out of proportion. These kids are going to play football. They are going to have a hell of a time no matter where they go. If they cared so much about the town, they would all be in Athens or Austin. If AJ ends up at State it will be because playing for State was more important than "getting out of Starkville".


If the town was a big factor, do you really think Treadwell would have left Chicago to move to Oxford, MS? You can talk about how bad Starkville is all you want, but when it comes to SEC schools, you are right there in the bottom with us. We have beautiful campuses and I loved my time at State, but neither you or us holds a candle when it comes to the better college towns. We are comparing ramen noodles to Vienna sausage. Both have their perks and will get you by, but even their redeeming qualities don't measure up to a filet.




ETA: Really struggled finding somewhere to put a shitty analogy today.
