Lack of locker rooms may have played a part
You want me to look at all 300+ Super Regionals that have ever happened and count up how many involved the road team travelling to the home team for the second time that season?Quote:

Ever think that maybe at the time he said that he assumed that the coaches in the hunt would have a season longer than ours? Another common sense approach to this. That was difficult.Quote:

Possibly but hopeful not. It's like naming Joe Moorhead head football coach while the bowl season was Going on. So if we don't name a new head coach today or tomorrow you should turn your eyes towards a team still playing...Quote:

No issues with Cohen so far. Now if we don't get a guy with "multiple CWS", I'm gonna be pissed for selling our fan base a dream. He didn't have to make that comment, but he did, so he better deliver
Actually DEMANDING better played a big part in why we were so bad for so long. We had a lot of people DEMANDING.Quote:

Did you see my further comments in this thread? They went with Vandy mainly because DNF is still under construction. See Kendall’s tweet. It didn’t have anything to do with RPI, head to head, or conference record like some have claimed.Quote:

Some in our fan base just need to stop. None of this is surprising. Here's what needs to happen:
1) Stadium needs to get finished
2) City of Starkville needs to do a better job of not sucking so bad.
As far as the coaching search, I'm sure everyone was pissed when we didn't get Pruitt and it seemed like we missed. Then we got Moorhead. If coaching searches were fan driven every school would suck because nothing would be done fast enough and no one would agree on anything. Get it done right, not fast.
It's amazing how much some of us bitch and complain yet we still have the lowest athletic budget. Until we are making ourselves a bigger monetary player (which is hard to do when you don't have a completed stadium and a massive event in town) you just have to take a few lumps every now and again. This stadium is going to be why we host and are dominant for years to come. So what if we sacrifice 2-3 home games this year? Get over the butt hurt and let Cohen do his damn job. Doesn't need a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks telling him he stinks at his job because he doesn't.
Holy smokes what a dump postQuote:

I'm going to choose to believe the construction was the main issue, but I think they through the other part in there as a subtle jab.
We cancelled a Friday night and Saturday night as soon as we heard this morning after we got tickets in Nashville. We are just staying with my sister in law so luckily we didn't need a hotel room in Nashville.Quote:

Anyway, when Cohen made those statements how many people actually thought or projected that we would be playing in the post season? You may need to find a hobby away from message boards, twitter, etc. ,but a few others on here may possibly need to as well. Maybe ya'll can form a club. Maybe "The Sky Is Falling At MSU" club, or something similar.i
That definitely wasn't Pruitt's decision. I think his agent would agree on that. It was a John Cohen decision.Quote:

Why not just take 20,000-30,000 fans to Nashville & show them they made a mistake?
Or is that not doable in baseball for some reason?
And do what, stand outside the stadium?Quote:

In fact, it does! It is actually a prerequisite on here that allows you to post within game threads and second guess every decision the coach makes. Don't let the fact that you don't know dick about the sport, as long as you've actually played t-ball or an electronic version of the game - you have instant credibility to know what "should have" been done and second guess all decisions!Quote:

Yes we get it dude. You think no one likes podunk Starkville. You've stated it 100 times the last few days.Quote:

We will be fine just need to go up there and take care of business. Host it next year when the stadium is complete. There is no conspiracy here against MSU. It just made more sense to play it in Nashville this year.
I love Starkville. I think the atmosphere would be 100 times better if we hosted it. I also know I'm in the minorityQuote:

They can argue the entertainment outside the ball games is worse in Starkville, but you can say that about pretty much every college town compared to a city like Nashville.Quote:

If construction is the issue and we would host it otherwise either have it in Memphis, TN or Jackson, TN.Quote:

We shouldn't be penalized because we are building a stadium.
Of course if you are going to Nashville specifically for a baseball game you're probably not too concerned with the nightlife that much. Other than finding a Wendy's or Waffle House to eat at after the game.Quote:
