Plus, this is pretty sorry if true.
Skenes would not have gotten us to Omaha. You still have to win more than 1 game a weekend. He would have made our Team ERA close to what LSU's was this year, but we'd still be 9 spots worse than them in scoring (#1 vs #10) and worse on D. We wouldn't not have scored more runs than we gave up earned runs in SEC play, as an example. We would have made the tournament and probably hosted but wouldn't have been able to go anywhere with itQuote:

Amazing how much better our offense would have been when our guys could actually bay not down 10 runs in the 3rd…Quote:

I'm not seeing why we'd have a better ERA than them this season
That's a theory. I can flip it around and say our opponents would have thrown better pitchers later in the games if the score was closer, therefore our hitting often faced weaker pitching than SEC average.Quote:

We may not. I was talking about getting to Omaha. We absolutely would have had a shot at Omaha with Skenes and Cade in a regional and super regional formatQuote:

I'll be surprised if this gets worked out. Kid is getting hit from too many sides.
You mean gets worked out for us or he works his ass somewhere else?Quote:

It stinks because the dude is mega-talented, but in the world in which we find ourselves, some dudes are just going to do this.
He and Alford are best friends. May just be testing the waters. Could follow him to UGA.
Good thing we held on to Lemonis so that our good players wouldn't transfer!
Lemonis has turned this program into dog shit in two years. But at least Big E can still drive his ass around.
If Lemonis can't sign big portal guys, his ass is over. Our administration & baseball cigar boys 17d up too.
We do less with more under Lemonis.
Alford was never returning. Jordan is Alford's buddy. Alford's Daddy throwing some cash to get him in the portal and possibly a package deal to Georgia
Then Alfords Daddy is a bitch just like he is…Quote:

Still stand by this. Had to be done. Even with the collateral damage.Quote:

And as bad as I didn't want to lose Jordan, we had to let him walk too. They knew that number wasn't getting touched by anyone.Quote:

It?s really really sad that a college sport that I truly love and devote a lot of time and expense is being ruined. The NCAA has totally screwed this up. I?m pretty much fed up with this crap. I?ll be in Starkville a lot this fall not to support the football team but rather to support my granddaughter that will be a cheerleader.
Just so everyone is clear, this had nothing to do with NIL. It was all a player, player daddy, and travel team coach being mad their player was shown the door.
Them going scorched earth and doing this is further proof that we made the right move, and I don?t like Lemon.
We won't miss him. When this type of situation happens in football, it has almost always been a neutral at worst case for us. Dakota ain't the kind of player we need right now if this is his attitude and those he surrounds himself with.
Ok so we?ve heard about travel ball coach
Made me wonder from EDs perspective - what are the good TB programs and which ones are viewed as be cautious with
Big hitting outfielder for Arizona just entered the portal
Alford leaving is ZERO loss. His attitude was obviously horrible. It was crystal clear the majority of the season. He has no fight or at least if he does we couldn?t bring it out in him.Quote:

It's okay brother. This ain't about daddy warbucks money. He will likely get less at uga or wherever he lands then we would have paid him.Quote:

Easley and East Coast Sox are two pro MSU organizations. I think we have had over 50 players over the years from East Coast Sox on our roster. Eric Dubose is the VP of East Coast Sox.Quote:

The former player was Dulins son. He wasnt a SEC quality player and Bianco wasnt playing him. Daddy Dulin got his Dulins Dodger Blue panties in a wad and started sending some players MSUs way.Quote:

Jac Caglianone is the best player in college baseball next year, a legit two way Super Player with numbers to back it up. Malcom Moore of Stanford now that's a star freshman. DJ has meh numbers and has a stooge personality. No loss here.
