Chaps my hide ESPN refers to this moron as, "Mr. SEC". He's an asshat extraordinaire. It would not bother me one bit if we banned his ass from our campus.
Pencil-necked geek!

I can't stand nor watch that moron but he's right. I just don't think I can pull for the Corndogs and I can't stand the Gators either!
Say what?? You don't think our fans are very bit as passionate about baseball as theirs? We own 18 of the top 25 all-time on-campus attendance records in the NCAA. We have been passionate about baseball long before LSU got excited about it when they started winning under Skip.Quote:

Finebaum's your typical media whore. I stopped listening to him when he refused to talk om recruiting violations and then went into full ass kissing mode.
Passion in winning National Championships, never thought we Msu aren't passion as fans, but Lsu is the dog in the Sec hunt as of now and have been for almost two decades, look at how many Sec Titles and National Championships they won compare to anyone else.Quote:

Some of you are mistaking success for passion. Lsu has had more success no doubt. And has more fans no doubt, on account of being the only game in town in a state 150% bigger than Mississippi.
I'm not sure which fan base is more passionate, but there is no discernible difference.
Fact is, Lsu Baseball, Bama Football and Kentucky BasketBall have the most passionate fans for those sport not only in the Sec but country.
Pawl is such a blatent Old Piss homer, that it doesn't surprise me that he hates us. 17 him
I can't stand LSU--hope they lose. But I can't find fault with Finebaum's statement. If we don't like it -how about we beat that corndog ass. When we whine and bitch we sounds like Ole Miss. Win the SEC and win a Natty-then we will worry about who is the most passionate.
Not disagreeing. But based on what? Not sure there is a way to gauge that. Even if you say attendance, I'm as passionate a baseball fan as there is but didn't attend one game this year due to circumstances.Quote:

IMO I think we are every bit as passionate but we aren't as blindly slanted and are more "rational". They literally think and believe that good things should happen to them "because they are LSU". We talk about more why not whether that's lottery scholarships or players not coming back.
I think the interest in baseball for both programs is about the same to be honest.
We'll see if they outdraw our 2013 Finals.
Game 1 - 25690
Game 2 - 27127 (the 127 were UCLA fans*)
Also- I think them being in a high A/AA size city with no other MLB minor league team for 75 miles helps their attendance a lot. What we do in Starkville in terms of attendance is pretty remarkable.
I'm going to pull for LSU. If the Indians try to short change Rivera and Florida loses in the finals, I could see him possibly coming back to Florida for his senior year. How does this effect us or why is it even relevant to us you ask? Because if you notice their top pick is Quentin Holmes and word is he is wanting $1.4 million and he hasn't signed yet. Now before you guys come in with the if they are taken in the top 10 rounds they 100% will sign. Take a look at Cleveland's situation. They have 29th out of 30th pool money and did not draft wisely by picking college seniors to give them wiggle room for Holmes. The three others they have not signed are two college juniors and a high school kid. They basically would be asking those three to take way under slot in order to get even close to Holmes number. Now I'm not saying there's a great chance he comes to State but I'd put the 1% number up to 10% and IMO bears watching.
How in the hell was his show or him selected for the SEC network. Was it for all his Bama dick sucking?
That's MSU's fault for not moving on from Polk. It probably set us back 10 years each time.Quote:

That's because he works for ESPN so they're going to push him as much as possible (until he gets fired somewhere down the line, like they do everybody else).Quote:

There is no fanbase in all of college baseball that is more passionate about their baseball program than MSU fans...period.
If you don't realize this, I simply don't know what to tell you, other than you are wrong, and mistaking "which program has had more success" instead of "which programs have at least as much passion.
LSU has an enrollment that is approximately 60% greater than ours, yet their average attendance is about 40% higher, Even more telling is the fact that LSU's official seating capacity is about 40% greater than ours. When it comes to regionals & supers, the NCAA only let's you count "turnstyle" attendance, so Alex Box is always going to show quite a bit more attendance than we do, as we have approximately 3,000 fewer seats to sell.
Bottom line, there is no fanbase more passionate about their baseball program than ours, yet Pawwwl made it sound like LSU has that hands down.
Ya'll give ole Pawl too much credit by even getting worked up. He sold out a long time ago! Might as well put a mic in front of Yancy as they're about on the same level.
+1.Quote:

Can't pull for O'Sullivan.
I live in Starkville for 6 years and BR for the last 10. I mean to take nothing away from MSU, but Finebomb is right. Weighted by population, school size... MSU by a mile.
Like Ive said before, we don't need to have anybody associated with MSU to be doing anymore interviews on his shit show. He goes out of his way to censure and discredit our sports programs and fanbase. It's not that he's just a media whore, he has a real beef, and acts like we're just here to complete everyone else's schedule.
Lol, that last line describes him perfectlyQuote:

Pretty easy to be passionate with the success they've had. Kind of like Bama fans over the past 10 years of Saban. I would say we ARE more passionate because we care about baseball just as much even though we don't own a national title and have only played for one and only have one SEC title since 1989. If we had half the national success that they've had we would probably have 15K+ crowds EVERY weekend.Quote:

So they go with the guys that give them alcohol and crawfish.Quote:
