With three weekend tournaments I have a feeling that MSU is going to be a regular in Dallas and Houston.
Should sweep UCLA, ASU, and VT. Smash these bugs like roaches.
As we should be. Between Dallas, Frisco, and Houston you should be playing games out here every year.Quote:

Basically by the time they actually go to campus when they're juniors or seniors to tour, they have been inundated from an info standpoint about how Oxford is this Mississippi oasis. They're told about the Velvet Ditch, The Square, The Grove, etc. and they go in with this notion that Oxford, while not big, is going to absolutely be everything they want in a college experience. Not that hard for us to start selling that dream too. But Lee Hall would rather us recruit Clarksdale Lee than Southlake Carrol and Allen.Quote:

But Ole Miss is no closer than Starkville, so why are they flocking to OM in droves? Because OM has focused on those out of state areas and has changed the perception. We on the other hand don't even attempt to do it. We're happy recruiting in state kids who were probably going to come to Mississippi State anyways, and honestly we don't do that well with those kids either. Our student recruitment sucks. Every kid you ask, in state and out, who considers Mississippi State will tell you that other schools bombard them with mail and they MIGHT get a postcard from Mississippi State once.Quote:

Went last time we were there. Really super nice ballpark. No where full so basically could sit anywhere you want. I sat/stayed for several games we weren’t even playing in. Sat right behind home plate. One game sat one row below the MLB scouts that were there and there was a bunch there. Talked baseball to them, some interesting conversations.
If ice storm happens two days or the day before do NOT attempt to go! Our trip on Friday took us almost 12hrs to get to Ft.Worth. Had wife, teenage granddaughter(which later in life became an MSU cheerleader) and 90lb golden retriever dog in the car for 12hrs was just about more than any human could stand.
It was a pain in the ass to get out here. I was still living in North Mississippi at the time and was snowed/iced in from Sunday on that week. My flight was supposed to leave Memphis at like 5 AM on Friday and got cancelled. The next flight they tried to get me on also got cancelled. Ended up driving to Birmingham and flying out of there Saturday morning and made it to Globe Life in the 2nd inning of the Texas game.Quote:
