over all this.
over all this.
Add Manieri, Bianco, Van Horn, Butch, Mingo, Childress, O'Sullivan....to list of people laughing their ass off.
For a while there, they thought they were going to be dealing with a Saban situation in Starkville. Nope, it's a Shula situation.
But maybe this Lemonis will be great, time will tell. It's not his fault that we could not pull a rock-star. He can make me feel better if he gets an Allan Dunn (LSU) or Nate Yeskie (Oregon State) level pitching coach.
For the record, I am now a supporter. I have to be, cause I can't switch teams.
I think we are dealing with a Saban situation. Young head coach with good credentials coming from the Big 10 taking over a good SEC team. Sounds just like Saban coming from Michigan State to LSU and we know how that turned out.Quote:

The worst thing that could've have happened to him is our CWS run.
Our fan base is apparently full of ******s. Good God.
I’d say Saltydog is extra salty today.Quote:

How is Lemonis pronounced correctly?
Folks on another board are saying it is Le-MOH-nis
Except that the B10 is actually awesome in football. They are mid majors in baseball. Even USM would dominate the big 10 in baseball.Quote:

My thing is I don't see how as a fan you can support Lemonis and not support Cohen's decision because he ran his mouth?
Be mad at Cohen for running his mouth? Absolutely. I get it.
But we need to forgive Cohen pretty quickly before we sabotage our program again- like 2009. And that's why I think Cohen needs to say something genuine about learning a lesson and us not get some BS spin about "but he was an assistant in Omaha".
So Polk is laughing because we didn't hire Raffo who has been mediocre at Arkansas State? We have had almost as much success since Polk left as when he was here. Actually more if you count that he never played for the title like Cohen.Quote:
