Excellent post, Sonja. With the Sly hiring, the SEC now has 3 Bama grads as head coaches.
BTW, glad you guys made it back from the island safely.

I think this is a great move for MSU. Not only do they need a positive role model for their current players, but also for recruiting. As far as I know, Croom has no skeletons in the closet (cutting nuts off bulls, probation at other schools, strip clubs, lying about coaching experience, etc.) He also learned from the master. If I recall correctly, Sly was coaching linebackers at Alabama when we had an up and coming QB named....oh yeah, Mike Shula. I just remembered that today. No wonder he considered the no call back from Alabama a slap in the face. If he turns the MSU program around, cleans up the mess over there and does it in record time, we all need to stand in line and just kick Mal Moore in the ass.
No matter how backwoods Alabama's thinking might be regarding the race issue, Mississippi still holds the infamous title of the only state that the National Guard was federalized in an all-out conflict in peace time. All because a Korean War vet wanted to go to school and better himself. He just so happened to have picked the University of Mississippi and he just so happened to be black. That's sad.
While this is a great day for MSU and the SEC, I sure do wish everyone could focus on Croom's accomplishments as a coach instead of the color of his skin.
ROLL TIDE and Go Sly!
