Bama fans and alumni have things to tie their pretentiousness to. Mississippi State has not won a single national championship in any NCAA sanctioned sport
Seems weird to include the sports part if it's not part of your point, no?

It seems you’re confusing the words “pretentious” and “pride.” Or something.

All I was saying was that those associated with Alabama at least have an adequate explanation for their undeserved inflated sense of self worth. I can’t think of a single reason why anyone associated with Mississippi State would feel like they are better than another - especially one who graduated from the University of Alabama and still chooses to pull for State.
It comes down to these people looking down on and making fun of someone for the way they look and speak, which, again, is as sorry as it gets.

I think maybe you're confusing pride and pretension since you're the one who used the word.
I haven't read this entire thread, but I think it started with Brandon Walker's tweet. His tweet wasn't claiming he or other state fans are better than Stingray. Rightly or wrongly, his tweet was saying he doesn't want Stingray representing State because the way he did it brought unnecessary embarrassment to the state.
Personally, I thought the Tosh segment was funny and could've been a lot worse—and it's worth noting that BW's tweet was before the segment, so he probably thought it would be worse too.

It should also be noted that no joke delivered from the mouth of a Mississippi State fan or graduate towards an Alabama graduate will ever hold any weight.
Let me think a little more.
Oh yes!

I am not embarrassed by Harvey Updyke or anyone else. No self respecting grown man is embarrassed by the actions of another grown man they’ve never met and have no affiliation to aside from pulling for the same football team.
Except Mississippi State fans, apparently. Can’t have some guy tarnishing the state of Mississippi’s good reputation, amirite?

No, a majority of the fans are pissed that he sold himself out to have our university degraded by Tosh.

The segment was so mild it seems Walker was getting his panties in a wad over nothing. Tosh took it extremely easy on Stingray, almost uncharacteristically so. Ole Ray is pretty damn harmless in the grand scheme of things anyways.

So you're a liar, and a piece of crap? Got it.
No changing horses midstream to save face. Nice try though.

I don't believe you have two degrees from Alabama.

We just don't have many sidewalk fans
It likely correlates to the discrepancy in acceptance rates: 54% UA, 65% MSU, and 78 % UM; and about it being ~3k dollars cheaper for MS school instate tuition than it is for UA. SEC Cost Comparison
Next, are you defining sidewalk as attendance or graduate, as both MS schools have lower grad rates than UA.
So, higher acceptance rate + cheap tuition = possible perception of fewer sidewalks
In any case, Stingrays and callers to Pawwllll are reflective of the base of most of our fans. Learn to laugh at yourself, enjoy it, and move on.

As I laid out, MSU (and Ole Miss') academic woes are tied to a federal court case that said that the state of Mississippi failed to provide the same education at all of its state universities. MSU and Ole Miss fall under the administration of an IHL board, which also oversees the six other public universities.
In the mid 90s, because I applied to all three, the admission standards were basically the same at Alabama, Auburn and MSU (and I assume Ole Miss). This decision required all of the schools under IHL administration to have the same admission standards, which brought State and Ole Miss down to the easiest two Power 5 schools to get into. The admission standards at MSU and Ole Miss are basically the same that you would see at schools like West Alabama, Jax State, UNA, et al, but not by choice.

Trash talk is just that.
Actually I see good in the court mandated admission standards.
MSU offers excellent educational opportunities in Liberal Arts, Science (my Masters in Chemistry and Microbiology eventually took me to the quality officer position (VP-QA Regulatory) in a Multinational pharmaceutical company (not bad for a cow college graduate) and one of the best engineering curriculums around - Former head of NASA and Long time President of Dow Chemical both MSU Engineering grads, plus other high level Administers in science and industry.
The reduced entrance requirements have opened these advantages to a huge number of people who were shut out of these career opportunities. Any fool knows that once given a chance, it is up to the person to make what they can from it.
We are generating a large alumni base at MSU that will remember the chance they were given and who they owe their success to.
Simple fact is my advisor all but cried when I chose to not go to Case Western Reserve for my PhD. State held me back none at all in acceptance wherever I wanted to go. I was just ready to work, and I never stopped going up from my first year working. How? What I learned at MSU from Clyde Q. Sheely, Drs. Barker, Brown, McCamish, Tischer, Wang and many others doing an excellent job of building good men and women.
Go Dogs! I could not be more proud of my past and my education experience in Starkvegas.

Great example of an Alabama guy, acting a fool for a school he didn't attend.
I guess they are all like that over there.
He looks like he works at a furniture store.
