    8-4 plus a bowl win...

    If someone gave you the option for 8-4 and a bowl game win right now, would you take it? You don't get to know if we beat OM or Ark, but you know we beat one of them.

    Or would you say Screw It, and let it play out knowing we could lose 4 straight games to end the year potentially, but COULD win out?

    I felt like we were an 8/4 team to begin the season with but hoping for 9/3 ...... no way do I want to let TSUN off the hook
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    To me, right now, I think the 9-4 end of the season would be more important to the program than an Egg Bowl victory. Historically, it appears that the Egg Bowl has little impact on recruiting. So, take the 2 given wins hands down.

    If we lose to Ole Miss this year some of these guys will denounce their allegiance to State.

    Ha that's the truth. I may be one of them though. That would be devastating

    I want 10 and I'd be willing to roll the dice to get it.

    All of you who get mad at Mullen for playing it safe better not choose 8-4 haha

    I had us 9-3 going into the season. I'm still saying 9-3. And, yes, we'd better beat om this year or I'll be pissed.

    Hell yes. I say that because we aren't winning this weekend, thus the 8-4 means an egg bowl win. I said I'd take 8-4 before the season and id dang sure take it know.

    Losing to Ole Missus at home is unacceptable

    Play them out. I want to know where we are as a program and these last two games should give us a really good idea.

    I just realized something...what if someone told you during the Croom years, that within 8 years you'll see ^THIS^ post from a fellow State fan. Haha, we've come a long way when most of us "don't want to go back to the Gator Bowl" for a 3rd time.
