100% agree! This kid has brought our toughness back. He just needs to keep doing what he's been doing and leading this team. Lemonis said in his postgame the guys were all screaming "Free Johnny" In the locker room. Shows you how much they respect the way he plays and how he handles himself.

I love the guy! Him and Hujsak play the game the way it's supposed to be played. They're old school park rats!

[MaroonFlounder]

Johnny brought fiery guts to this team. Make the opposition take note.

[Coach34]

I think this is the guy that saved Lemon's job.

He is a leader and does a great job with the pitchers. They needed that more than they needed a young Highfill. This staff needed a gutsy vet

[BeardoMSU]

I ****ing love this guy.

[Todd4State]

I'm not going to complain about Long getting ejected. We needed him to do that. Last years team would have folded and let them throw at Dakota over and over while getting run ruled.

Also would have folded getting down 5-0 but this team I knew was going to keep fighting and sure enough we ended up winning.

Georgia is a small dog taking on a big dog this weekend and we showed them what big boy baseball is in this league.

He's really done a great job handling this staff. He keeps the pitchers focused and in the game. No surprise when Lemonis named Lo player of the game last week at Florida and gave him the shirt but Lo said Long deserved it more and gave it to long.

Couldn't agree more. This team plays with an edge and starts with Long and we needed that to get our toughness back. This bunch keeps fighting and won't back down. That's the kind of team I love!

[Ranchdawg]

Thanks for the tweet. You made a mistake and don?t do it again. But never ever back down either. Keep on leading this team.

[EdwardDrayton]

You've made the statement to appease the PC culture. Well done. Now just keep leading the way Johnny and your team will pick you up. You keep on standing over the deserving 17heads and roaring. Hail17nState!!!

Haha! Yes sir another great post!

[Goldendawg]

Long just well maybe the Cam Matthews of our our baseball team. Hail state!

I ****ing love this guy.

He’s all dawg!

That spoke volumes!

Definitely

[basedog]

Great message by Long! The boy has stones no doubt. Glad he spoke up!

Yep much respect and i wouldn't expect any less from him. Standup guy that's a leader. I think if he wants he would make a dang good coach one day.

It's also what leaders do. PC or no, his actions were the catalyst for last night's BS. No one knows that more than him right now. It's a good message.

Takes a real man to fess up one’s mistake and admit it. I didn’t understand why he was kneeing the guy but he just stated his emotion got the best of him. I have much respect for him.

I agree 100%. Lemonis said he was hurting but more so becaue his actions got the other guys ejected and cost us a shot at a win. He knows better than anyone he screwed up and he owned it. Love the guy!

[CaptainObvious]

Saturday nights loss may be a catalyst to a revival of our program or it might not. The fact is, the suspensions during last nights game should not have happened to anyone but Long. No way we will ever know, but we do know it "could have been a different outcome" if Birmingham has ruled correctly. They did not, and now State has a loss they probably should not have by an OFF THE FIELD Decision. It should be ruled a Tie game wiping out the 8th and 9th innings as if they never happened and reverting to the 2-2 score at the end of 7. Nobody has the sacks to make that happen. Guys were ejected for our at bat in the bottom of the 8th thst should not have been ejected.

Also the guy who hit the winning homerun was one of the UGA guys that actually should have been ejected. He ran out to home plate. Might have been the guy that Hines told to calm down.

This! How tf was he not one of the GA guys tossed?

Someone on Selmon's Twitter post responded with the pic of the guy and he didn't have a hoodie on so they could obviously see his jersey number and name.

My wife and I talking about it, pretty sure the SEC wanted to punish us but couldn't give them the run since the play was clean. Everything that happened was basically between innings. So how could they punish us? Of course throwing out almost our entire team and not any of UGA would pretty much do it.

[cheewgumm]

What he did was for the greater good.

Well done Johnny!

[cheewgumm]

Johnny Long is like an enforcer in jockey.

It should be his nickname

You?re welcome America

I kind of wonder if the replay guy was friends with Morris Hodges.

At any rate this is the second embarrassing moment for SEC officiating involving our baseball team in three weeks.

No excuse for what happened last night. Someone should've lost their job for that.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Johnny is forgiven but don't do it again.

The Nelle Cohen and the SEC grannies will kill us. The Grannies are triggered by masculinity.

Johnny needs a shock collar with Lemons holding the dead-man switch.

It's insane that the conclusion that they came up with was to eject most of our starting lineup. And the hoodie thing was a stupid excuse.

I think social media actually saved us.

In the past the SEC probably just laughs at us and tells us when they want our letter or apology.

Both times this year you have had multiple national personalities calling out the league on our behalf.

Well except for Georgia fans and some old school baseball guys who apparently have forgotten about Carlton Fisk and Thurman Thomas fighting each other from time to time. It doesn't get more old school than that!

That and also another big difference is that we have an AD who is listened to when he speaks. He’s well respected and has that confidence about him that intimidates a lot of people. I think we are lucky to have Zac Selmon as our AD

Yeah. Larry Templeton would have suspended the team the next four SEC series to show the league that we're really sorry and to save money by the team not having to go to a regional.

In the meantime Bracky Brett would have put the team on probation for three years.

Was Fisk playing for the Sox or Pats? Cause playing for the Pats is the only way he'd have a dust up with Thurman Thomas LOL.

Yes, Thurman Munson and Fisk did get into it. We don't even have to go that far back - remember Brian McCann's body of work in Atlanta.

I do know one thing - someone super loud needs to holler "Knock'em Out John!!!!" when Long comes to the plate now. He's earned it.

[GoDawgz]

The incompetence of a billion dollar organization is truly baffling. But what happened Saturday night happens almost every Saturday in the fall on the grass or on the hardwood. The SEC officiating is an absolute joke and the league should be greatly embarrassed that they continue to allow umpires and refs on the field or court that continue to make it all about them "Ref Show" or just totally mess everything up by incompetency.
State had all the momentum after that play and it was stripped away by a woke dimwit sitting in an office somewhere in Birmingham that most likely NEVER play any kind of sport in their life.
All that money......and that's the best you can get?

[msstate7]

I'm not necessarily mad about it, but it was dumb so I won't praise it. It very well could be the reason we didn't sweep
