    We pulled Ledbetter who ended in the 1st round. We have pulled other quality portal guys.

    We arent going to pull the sexy, big name guy now that NIL is here. That ship has sailed.

    We have a segment of fans that overinflate MSU baseball history to fit their agenda and then try and crap on teams like SC, Vandy, Tennessee, Arkanasas and Florida because they supposedly don't have history like MSU. It's comical.

    Here's a fun fact. Kevin O Sullivan has had five 50 win seasons in his career. Mississippi State baseball has 6 in it's history. Christopher Lemons owns TWO of those.

    It's also the fact that for the most part, we sucked at everything in the 70s and 80s and were pretty good at baseball so some fans grew attached to it. A lot of fans became fans with Will and Raffy and so they expected that type of success all the time. It's no different than the people that became football fans when Mullen had us rolling. They expected that type of success all the time. We are seeing the same thing with people now. We had nonstandard success for an extended period of time and so that becomes the expectation instead of the exception. Look, we're a top 15 program. I'm not saying we should just be happy with making a regional. Omaha should be the goal. But you can't run to fire the coach every time you don't make it. It's ok to say the last 2 years were unacceptable, because they were, but also admit that Lemonis has guided this ballclub extremely well this year with everything that has happened.
