UCLA and Vandy have both killed our homefield advantage in Omaha.

How's Billy Napier's quest to have a house in every SEC town? And what town is next? My money is on Baton Rouge.

I was hoping you would show up and tell us we would lose because you have connections and were in the know and that everything was a done deal already***

Good job Beardo, now I am only on the radio and I will wear my MSU Under Armor shirt. My neighbors have been asking if that's the only shirt I own, so I wore a black MSU polo yesterday. Tuesday Black was a mistake.

Only one I have at the moment is that Luke Hancock is 100% not returning to MSU next year. I don't understand it because I think he would be a key piece of our line up in 2022. He is going pro 🤷 ... not transferring.

The only way he goes pro is independent ball like Macnamee. He ain't getting drafted in a 20 round draft.

That is what I am thinking as well. It is kind of mind boggling because he could take a big step next year with another year at state. He has potential for sure, but I believe his mind is made up already.

Tanner and Rowdy should really be an example of what happens when you stay.

Can someone verify everything in this post?

Glad to know Luke will be in our lineup next year, Thanks Bert!*

Sweet, so Hancock is returning.

Vandy can't hit worth a crap. That's our hope tonight. No walks and 5-7 runs our way will win it. Time to punch them in their rich Vandy cooters so hard Corbin has a stroke.

Once the NCAA moved Vandy to the finals, I resigned myself to the fact that we would probably lose. I think whoever was going to come out of our bracket got hosed. It absolutely sucks because it's so hard to get this far. Baseball post season has so many games, and it's emotionally draining.

I do think we can win tonight, but tomorrow will be hard with Rocker. This team seems to like to really play like crap for a game and then win a few in a row. I was convinced we were dead in the water after the second Notre Dame game, but I was wrong.

Once again, State fans are anxious and on the end of their seats and here comes Bert again... and you all are fueling his trolling fire.

I understand; my oldest daughter is up there too. Winning one would be one step closer than we've ever been so.

Bert is just what the team needed to get us a win tonight.

I've heard if he gets drafted he's gone.

Comic relief does nothing to our team's pitching/hitting... or dumb coaching decisions for that matter.
