Regional Projections for MSU

[msstate7]

He's not hitting better than him. And yet you're scared shitless of him. Pathetic.

Keep arguing just to argue.

We're not as consistent as Ole Miss.....oh wait.

We'll never be as good as LSU.

We'll never sign anybody past the MLB draft or get anybody back for their senior year because how could anyone turn down all that money? Even though Ole Miss has done it.** I don't care if it hurts MSU and recruits parents see it I've gotta win the argument because I'm Mr. Rational msstate7!*******

We'll never get Seth Ruth Griffey, Jr. Beer out!

I'm tired of your shit. Get your wife back on line and shut the **** up or go sit in a corner.

Good grief. I've got you rustled, don't I? Fine Todd, yeah we bout to win a natty... no one could possibly derail our fine-tuned machine we have rolling.

Oh and lol @ recruits' parents making decisions about their kids' future based on my posts. You give me way too much credit.

It's not about that- it's about changing the attitudes of our fans in general.

Here's the difference between our fans and LSU.

Our fans- "Well, it would be silly to turn down that money and opportunity from MLB. You might regret not taking it." This despite stats showing that your chances of making it to MLB and therefore making even more money increase if you come to school. This despite the changing every year culture where more and more players are choosing to go to college and NOT regretting it. Players coming back to LSU and not regretting the whatever SMALL financial hit to win a championship which is something that every competitor wants to do and gets much, much, much more out of. Not to mention the opportunity to get degrees. Heck- even MLB is starting to slowly make the system to where high school players are almost ENCOURAGED to go to school because they know the same stats that I do. And yet- we have fans that are still stuck in the Ron Polk draft era of thinking when it hasn't been that way for 15 years or more. And even worse using the system as an excuse for why we can't instead of why not us?

And now LSU fan to me on Twitter yesterday:

"Those players didn't come to LSU because of Manieri or Cann. They came because it's LSU."

Now is that rational or true? No- because if it was we wouldn't have flipped Tanner Allen from LSU after we hired Cann. But it's a hell of a lot better attitude to have than we can't/won't/never will. It's not your ONE post that influences it. It's others that read it and might agree with it and then spread it out around and eventually it gets out to recruits. It has been a problem for YEARS.

If we're going to win like we all want to- we're going to have to start being more proud of MSU baseball and what we DO HAVE- which is a lot better than most and getting better believe it or not- and change our attitude about our program. And not worrying so much about how "rational" we look to other fan bases that don't have our best interests at heart.

Or even worse- trying to be "rational" to debate just to debate even though it has even the slightest potential to hurt MSU so that we can win an "internet argument".
