We put more emphasis on it than everybody but LSU. I expect Supers with a couple of trips to Omaha. Also expect having a down year where you might be a 2 or 3 seed, possibly miss the regional by a hair.
The last 2 years are probably the worst years in MSU History that the head coach wasn't either taking over a dumpster fire (Cohen) or the coach didn't get fired (Polk II).
At least we got a new pitching coach after the worst pitching in a season in MSU history.

I don't know that this is true anymore. Arkansas is right there with us and LSU. UGA is putting $45 million into Foley Field - most in player oriented facilities (locker room, pitching lab, etc.); Florida just spent $65m on their new park that will hold 10,000; Tennessee is putting $95 m into their facilities; A&M is putting $60m into Blue Bell. We have crowds, but don't discount the interest and funding in the rest of the SEC.

You're right. SEC baseball has become an arms race, maybe moreso than in football, based on the competitiveness top to bottom and the talent level.
