Hypothetical question

[msstate7]

If you could take the national championship in baseball, but in exchange we went 4-8 in football (egg bowl loss included). Would you do it?

To have the first national championship in Mississippi sports history- yes

[SaltyDawg]

Absolutely.

I would too. Paying for it would be painful this fall though.

I love baseball, but no. In fact, I would trade a baseball NC for a football NC any day. I would probably trade it for a shot at the Sugar Bowl. Sorry, guys.

I would trade a baseball NC to go 0-12 this season. Especially if all other things are equal aka we still have the same players going into the 2014 football season.

[TexasDawg]

Yes without hesitation

[War Machine Dawg]

In a heartbeat. Baseball is the only sport where we have a legitimate shot at a National Championship. NC > NYD Bowl. I'd HATE going 4-8, but it'd be damn well worth it for a NC. Not to mention the snowball effect winning a NC would have for our baseball program. I'm with Todd: If we ever win one, we're going to see the program go to heights we've never seen before.

For MSU to get an NCAA national championship in ANY of the 3 main sports would be absolutely huge. I would be willing to go winless in the other 2 sports that particular school year to get a national championship in any of the 3. Obviously we are talking baseball right now but I would have said the same thing in 1996 when we were 2 wins away from a national title in basketball.

If we can have a CWS championship by trading 2 wins in football...yeah.

[HancockCountyDog]

Of course.

We have been worse than 4-8 in football several times in our history. I would suffer through a 0-12 season including a 40-0 loss to the Bears to win a MFing National Championship.

I wouldn't have expected this from someone named "Pollodawg". Valid opinion nonetheless.

I'm pretty sure all or at least most would trade baseball national championship for football championship. Wasn't the question though...

**** yes.

What I would trade in football this season for a NC in baseball.

You guys know how Rafa Nadal bites his trophies?

I would trade a 4-8 season AND have a large Hugh Freeze buck tooth balloon biting the top of our scoreboard all year.

This is my first fark ever and the worst one in the history of mankind*

Posed that way, with a NC or BCS bowl berth off the table in football, yeah. I would sit through 4-8 to see us win it all on the diamond.

I would really like to believe our football team is capable of a bcs bowl or nc. I just don't see it. We were close in '98 and almost landing cam though

[DownwardDawg]

Hail yes!!!!
