Some Thoughts On Potential Coaching Hires

[Coursesuper]

Mississippi State University is not a blue blood baseball program, if you think we are you are deluded. We, mine and your university has won exactly dick on the national stage. We have gotten close and had a good view of the dance floor but have yet to get asked to the ball. Take a step back and look at what we are known for, great support, great crowds and the left field lounge (that is no more). That's it period. When we can claim a national championship and repeat the feat then we can claim to be a "blue blood" program until then we ain't.

Go look at a list of who has even made it to the CWS finals all-time and then get back to me. Georgia has one National Title in football since 1980- would you consider them a blue blood program? I would. Those resources you mentioned are why we are a blueblood program.

What's on our resume to prove our blue bloodedness? We have an appearance in the national finals and lost, we have one SEC championship in the last 28 years how does that resume stack up against LSU, TX, Miami and S Car in the last 20 years. Those are elite blue blood programs, they are what we are aspiring to be. If spending money, and selling out season tickets and having a great fan base makes a program a blue blood then that means you can technically buy that status and never really earn it.

We have 9 Omaha Trips. 17 SEC conf titles...7 SEC tourney titles....36 tourney appearances....thats a top 10 program.

You cant have it both ways. You cant say what have you done lately then say what have you done all time.

Lately our football program is top 25 at least... cant keep raising and lowering the bar to fit the narrative

When did I say anything about lately, we have won nothing to make us elite, if you want to go all UNM though and talk about the good ole days before segregation go ahead. That still changes nothing, we have no national championships period. None in the last 20 or 30 or 50 much less 100 years. You can also take that narrative bullshit and walk, I at least have an open and honest opinion, I'm not trying to boost my narrative by stating stats from forever for or program.
