Comment From Ben



Obviously the SEC West is on the line in Starkville this weekend, but does State have to win the series to secure a host spot as well? RPI now down in the 24-25 range and a series loss here means they would have lost three of their last four series. Either way it's a better season than most expected for Cannizaro and company, but it almost seems like an all or nothing kind of series in terms of winning the West and hosting.

I think a series loss would certainly really cloud the hosting picture for the Bulldogs, but if they win the series over LSU (which I lean MSU this weekend), I think you have to give State a host site. What will be interesting to me is to see if State can go on a run in the SEC tournament and get back into the national seed discussion. I'd lean no, but never say never.

I think losing to Troy would hurt us pretty badly. But I also think 19 SEC wins are hard to overlook. I think the committee would look at the 19 SEC wins and give us a bid. We also have some good wins OOC over Ole Miss and Texas Tech and then two over South Alabama.

I have to disagree with that. The chances of us sweeping LSU is way better.

This is the last regular season series for the grand old lady known as Polk-Dement. She was the classy broad when she was built! Over the years she has witnessed our cheers and our tears, she has always been there for us as we always come back. We owe Her our loyalty, in this final weekend of her life, against our true rival, that we made hire Skip Bertman just to keep up with us. Turn out Bulldogs, show them the power of the Bulldog Baseball Nation!

We get to 19 wins we no doubt host.
