Losing gets rid of the bad fans.

Pretty good letter for a 9 year old. Maybe a little too good...

Notice the gratuitous product placement?
Smart kid getting the Colonel's money, at least a few buckets

Heck of letter.

This kid fucks

45-50 years from now that kid will have gone to law school, become an internet troll and stalk other posters

C'mon, ease off on the kid - no reason to compare him to Tanny or TempeTantrum

Ok, in 10 years this kid will be saying its all pointless and people care too much about sports, but to win we need to change everything and keep doing it until we get it right again.

Anybody actually meet the boy? Maybe his mom’s name is Lennay Kekua.

Kid needs some perspective on accepting mediocrity.

This kid gets it. This is what I call moving in the same direction.

Kid is 9 years old and never had to live through Johnelle, Booby, Denny Stoltz, Muddy Waters etc.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it - MSU has sucked before, and I'm hoping it doesn't get that bad again

Solid handwriting.

It is true, I remember a guy that had season tickets to the Red Sox that said the Francona season where they bottomed out was one of the greatest things ever. It got rid of all the Green and Pink hat fans and he said it was like the old days when you just had the die hards there again. Said the games were fun again and you could get drunk without all the rich yuppie band wagon fans around.

"hey guys.. met my son, Mikey McAverage.. he aspires to grow up to be the Mayor of Mediocrity and, if that doesn't work out, the "Wizard of We'll Get 'Em Next Time".

I mentioned no names.

Not sure I'd characterize people as "bad" fans, but losing definitely gets rid of the bandwagon fans.

Sometimes 9 years olds are pretty smart though.

all seriousness, it was a cute letter, etc - but the fact that it seeped out to the media, social media, etc. seems a) a little self-promotional and b) makes our fan base look kind of a ridiculous. More ridiculous than we already make ourselves look.

let's say.. Oklahoma fell on hard times.. and a letter was published in the Norman Gazette by a 9 year old saying "it's okay, guys.. me and my friends at the Montessori School still love you... no matter how many games you lose".. we (along with the rest of the college football world) would probably mock it relentlessly.

(and I'm not pickin' on the kid or even his strange Dad.. I'm just saying let's not hire either of them to be on the next coaching search committee).

Exactly write me a letter in a calendar year when it is worse
