    Hate to break it to you but Gainesville is nothing special. It isn't far from Tampa or Orlando but the town itself, well.. again,
    nothing special.

    Gainesville is Jackson without the high murder rate.

    thats fine. But Fla has no state tax and other bennies in addition to the weather. I love StarkVegas but most coaches with families do not want to move there. Nor Oxford. Moving to Mississippi is very frowned upon

    The governor was talking about getting rid of the state tax. That was pre election. Haven't heard anything since. Typical.

    If you get rid of income tax you have to raise sales tax or something else. You can't just stop getting the money. No great solution. And I'm not defending the governor, although he's better than the alternative

    Correct. Texas has no income tax. Just the evil property tax that will cost you about $800/month on a $300k modest home

    People in Memphis have first hand knowledge of this.

    I doubt it too, but this streak is the Vegan sandwich of baseball accomplishments. Jackson State and Mount St Mary are less competition than Jackson Prep or Madison Central.

    Lemons is the coach until May and no interim can be hired cause the whole staff will be gone, except Parker. Just being better than Missouri won't save him.

    It was a really weird tweet. "Hey Chris. Looks like the team is playing better. But we just can't overlook that Austin Peay series from two weeks ago despite the winning streak. So see ya".

    That would be like firing Arnett after beating Western Michigan.

    Maybe so. But until we get there- some of us remain optimistic. Us going on a win streak once healthy is not a coincidence. Get it done or we will fire your ass. Thats the bottom line. However- we aint firing him this weekend. Vitello is not leaving a job as good as ours in a state better than ours to raise kids in Mississippi

    Tony Vitello is not married and doesn't have any kids. Just sayin. But I get your point.

    This is the quandry some of our fans have. They don't think Lemonis will get us back to where we expect to be but at the same time he may not be bad enough to justify firing.

    To me, the reality is it comes down to our big baseball boosters and if this season isn't up to par I think he is gone.
