Looks like another year not winning the sec championship. Last one was 1989. That is so disappointing. Going to Omaha is nice but a conference championship would be a lot better. We are a laughing stock in some quarters BC of it. Same as going to bowl game and never beating Alabama, LSU, etc. I hope Florida wins it and not om or LSU.
I didn't realize we were mathematically eliminated with nine games to go. Last I looked we were still in it.
I would rather go to Omaha than win the SEC any day.
No...no it wouldntQuote:

bammer can win it, I think...
Or does their remaining schedule make it unlikely?
I agree, Coach, one shouldn't have to win their conference to play for it all.Quote:

People can laugh at us while we're in Omaha all they want as far as I am concerned.
I would like to know what quarters the the reigning runner ups are the laughing stock. That could be the dumbest thing I have ever heard
The goal at the beginning of the year is to win the SEC because of the position it puts you in for a run to Omaha.
If you ask a Vandy fan if they would have rather had our 16-14 year as national runner up or their 26-3 year but losing in the Supers I bet 99 out of 100 would have said national runner up.
The entire season is all about building for the postseason. Constantly molding the team until we are our best come June.
Going to Omaha is nice but a conference championship would be a lot better
This is one of the stupidest statements I've ever heard.......
I wonder what Bama thinks. NC's are nice but I sure would rather win in atlanta
Of course, many of you disagree but I am a huge fan, I don't like losing in baseball period. I want to win a championship!
MsStateBaseball has gone full retard lately. Makes me wonder if he died and someone else has started posting for him. Omaha > SEC Regular Season Champs, period. That said, it sucks we haven't really competed for the Overall SEC Championship for so long, and we need to get to the point where we're competing for it. But there's no way in hell I'd rather be SEC Champs & miss Omaha than finish middle of the SEC and make Omaha. Omaha. Every. Single. Time.
Ask the 1989 team if they would trade the SEC title for a trip to Omaha. The 1989 loss to North Carolina was the most painful baseball memory I have.
If we could get to Omaha with a regular season record of 28-28 overall, then get hot at the end I would take it every time. Omaha is the mecca of college baseball. Always has and always will be. Nothing, and I mean nothing, comes close to that. I wouldn't trade Omaha for a 50-6 regular season and then flame out in the regional. No way.
The quarters of wannabe-official SEC baseball team bloggers...Quote:

Msstate had gone full tard. Someone make him change his username too.
Hey guys, why do we always have to have alternatives, door 1 or door 2. Hell, why can't we have both Omaha and the SEC title. If you win the SEC title it's pretty much an automatic ticket to the regionals so this thread is pointless.

Disturbing post. Couldn't disagree more.Quote:

The above sums it all up! Couldn't agree more.... Next topic!Quote:

If you are just satisfied with going to Omaha to soak in the atmosphere, poke your chest out, etc, then what are thinking? I would think most fans want a championship! Why do you want to keep saying, we went to Omaha in such and such year....
Nobody is content with not winning a championship! However, that does not in any way make us a "laughing stock." To say something like that is just absurd. Do you honestly think when anybody, around the SEC or the nation, thinks about Mississippi State baseball they say "what a joke of a program?"Quote:

You are basically saying that last year you would have traded an SEC Conference title for our trip to Omaha that got us in the NC game. I just can't fathom that. Do you think MLB teams would prefer to win their pennant and then get ousted in the first round of the playoffs or do think they'd rather come in as the Wild Card and make it to the League Championship Series/World Series? It really is a no brainer which is more important.Quote:

We are not even close to a laughing stock, that is absurd. We all want more; every single State fan wants more than we have gotten thus far this year. And no, I don't think anyone is content or 'satisfied' with winning 16 or 17 conference games. But it certainly is acceptable, meaning no one needs to be fired or anything, especially if you then get the postseason success on top of it.
We need to compete for the SEC title soon, I agree with you. Winning 20 SEC games should be an attainable goal moving forward, and if we don't ever reach that goal, that will be an issue. But you can still enjoy what we are right now, which is a very good program that has not been as good as we all thought we would be but is still very competitive and will be in the postseason with a chance to make a run.
We're still above .500 in the SEC this year. It's not the ultimate goal of where we want the program, but it sure isn't bad.
I've read it all now. My God. SEC is better than Omaha? We are a laughing stock? The only this about us that is a laughing stock is our fans.
So the 97' & 03' Marlins and the 11' Cardinals are laughing stocks because they didn't win their divisions, yet went on to win the World Series............ right. Laughing stocks ****************
SEC is better than Omaha could be the talk in Oxford this year. They have a good chance to win but will probably won't find the road to Omaha as usual.
"The Road to Omaha goes through Oxford." #youshouldhaveboughtasquirrel
You guys don't get it. I didn't say everyone is laughing at us. A few are when we start talking about our legacy, etc. BTW, I was the first one on twitter talking about this, if you didn't know. I was taking the brunt of it when we were losing badly. I joined January 2009, before the school, before Jim Ellis, etc. I took it upon my self to talk baseball with these other baseball fan bases. It comes down to conf champs or natl champs. We have been one but it was 1989 and not a natl champ. I along with many want both.
Congrats bro you want a trophy or something?Quote:

Of course the generic "Omaha" is better than a SEC Championship because "Omaha" means a chance at a National Championship.
But..
Would you rather have a year like Vanderbilt last year, dominating the SEC all year, and falling short of Omaha
or
a 2007 MSU type year where you make Omaha but go two and out.
So you gotta choose, which year would you prefer
MSU 54-12 (26-3).. loses in Supers
MSU 38-22 (15-13).. 0-2 in Omaha
Given those choices gimme 54-12, no Omaha
ETA saw where the diary stated something similar on this point. Agreed I'd take national runner up over SEC Champ, but Vandy year over 0-2 in Omaha
I'll take Omaha every single time.Quote:

Anything else places a distant 2nd. I would trade never winning a SEC title if we make it to Omaha consistently and win a title someday. Even if we never win a NC I would never trade an SEC for Omaha appearance. What the hell is the ****ing world coming to?
