I think the entry is relevant. Although the content is decidedly local in nature, I have no doubt the page itself will pick up numerous hits as there are almost 15,000 registered users on the three major Mississippi State University message boards combined. These message boards (as well as many of the college message boards) have taken on a life of their own as many of them have their own histories and lexicons. As a result, I plan to address this history and expand the page over time. I think this is an burgeoning area for Wikipedia and an opportunity to add some local flavor to the site. Although I am a poster, I am not one of the message board founders. The board has become increasingly important to me. Rest assured this is not an advertising ploy. I am just trying to place some Mississippi State icons on Wikipedia. You'll notice in my history that I added an entry for our University's President yesterday. I had hoped to add entries for our coaches, our sports histories, our message boards, and other traditions. Croomdawg 14:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Croomdawg
Also, I took out the reference to the mullet as an inside joke well known to fans of Mississippi State, but would likely miss their mark when viewed by others.Croomdawg 14:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Croomdawg
