He didn't pass on the sect. It looked like he did, but he didn't. We sucked. He was pissed. We came back and had to practice. Remember, this was right after Missouri series, CL wanted to go and play well. I promise you he didn't want to go 2 and Q. Now it ended up being fine as it turned out, obviously.

New year, new team, we had some really good leaders last year, we have good players returning, but like anything in sports, you got to have some luck to go with talent. Lots of celebration, I just hope our players can put this behind them and play to the best of their ability. I've been following Msu baseball for a long time, and last year was the most enjoyable, but it wasn't our most talented team ever.

Hail State!

Right, it's one thing to lose it's another to embarrass yourself and I guarantee you, Lemonis was embarrassed and not happy at all. That's why he put the boys back out on the practice field. I believe he got their attention.

I don't think we went to Hoover with the intent of getting run ruled twice. But I definitely don't think we overly emphasize it like certain other teams do.

Games played in the last 3 SEC Tournaments: Ole Miss 16, LSU 12, MSU 6

CWS appearances in last 3 postseasons: Ole Miss 0, LSU 0, MSU 3

I'm not saying Hoover is a waste of time for everybody... But I kinda think it is if you already have a national seed and host locked up.

To make an interesting 11th Week - Play an SEC Championship Series instead of a Tournament.

Play an SEC Championship Series in Sarasota (George M. Steinbrenner Field): East vs West Champ
2nd Place Series: East vs West Runner Up in Arlington
3rd Place Series: East vs West in Memphis

Then let 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th play each other. The 2nd and 3rd place series would generally be National and/or Host Seeding. High stakes. Play best of 3, so no sweeps, but great for RPI.

This past year would have given College Baseball this awesome weekend:

SEC Championship: Tennessee vs Arkansas (Winner is the SEC Champ)
2nd Place: Vanderbilt vs Mississippi State (National Championship Level)
3rd Place: Florida vs Ole Miss (Winner is a Super Host)
4th Place: South Carolina vs LSU (Winner is a Regional Host)
5th Place: Georgia vs Alabama (winner plays in a Regional)
