Don't look up what year we last did this (2015).
But this Oak guy has us winning the games we would blow under Lemo and blowing out the games we'd let creep back into competitiveness. Doesn't **** around with leaving folks in.
I could do 15 years of this.
We're also blowing teams out midweek when we need to. That means somethingQuote:

Get Teel going and you are going to legit have 5 OFs to choose from at any time. Get Woodson going and you'll have 3 options in the MIF. We know how many options we have on the mound.Quote:

We shall see with these next games coming up. This weekend will tell us a lot. If we can come out of this weekend winners, then look out because we will be sniffing a season like 21
This team is much more talented than 21. But it does lack some experience and can it develop that special mojo? We shall see. It takes more than talent to win it all. It also takes luck and being hot at the right time.Quote:

USM is for real. I watched some of that one and they looked really good. We're going to have to bring our A game to beat them.Quote:

ASU is really good. We're going to have our hands full on Friday.
I think that should say they need their A game to beat Us!Quote:

They will. Playing us in Hattiesburg is their Super Bowl every year.Quote:

Drop them in all sports ASAP, unless the games are in Starkville, long overdue.
You will get no arguments from me. I think it's asinine to play them in Hattiesburg in any sport. Much less one of the big 3.Quote:

Va. Tech lost big to Rutgers and then beat them in 2 one run games.
UCLA lost again last night to SDSU.
I expect us to go 2-1 this weekend, but State could lose 2 or win all 3. Huge weekend.
Too early to know just how good we are.
McPherson hasn't shown he can be a dominant Friday guy, and Foster has sucked on Sundays.
The left side of our infield has struggled to field it. We are average at catcher.
And we've played nobody with a pulse. The arms we've seen have largely sucked.
None of that is to say we can't be very good.
We're going to know A LOT about our team Tuesday night about 10 PM. 3 of these next 4 are NCAAT teams and if you told me right now that they all hosted, it wouldn't shock me. We're about to take a major step up in competition.Quote:

This weekend will be tough but I wouldn't be surprised if we play well. And sure, we might lose all three and to USM but this team will be there in the end. We also could get some wins that will go a long way as far as hosting for us.
