As you can imagine, numerous Bulldogs fans weren’t happy with Brown, who not only didn’t play for the hometown school but also picked Mississippi State’s archrival. Brown felt like he needed to respond to the fans.
Yall can call me names or whatever but I made this decision for me . Remember… For the ones who put me last are going to feel me first .

Brown added more fuel to the fire when he went on to criticize Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen for his recruiting efforts.
