Tell us what you want to see from this baseball team...

[Coursesuper]

I know that I want to see a team that makes the routine plays look routine and makes the hard plays look easy. I'm tired of holding my breath every time the the ball leave the bat.

[Dawgology]

A national Championship. This is THE sport a large contingent of the MSU fanbase wants to sink money into to the detriment of the football program. If that’s the case. If that’s where the fanbase wants to hang their hat then the baseball program has to be the best almost every year. Being decent or just competent in a sport less popular than women’s college basketball is equivalent to and as marketable as going 5-8 in college football.

I want today to be the beginning of a 15 year run of trips to Omaha. I should start looking for a condo in Omaha to buy.

15 years? Let's make it 250.

Sigh, I once again do not understand why I can't post gifs. Either way it was a Remember the Titans gif. Would have been a good one

[Coach34]

A good baseball team that plays hard and plays the game the right way.

[Todd4State]

A National Championship in year one. Set the tone early.

But at a minimum 40+ wins including the postseason and a team that plays up to MSU's standard.

[BrunswickDawg]

I wanna see Omaha - everything else is gravy.

Nobody is sending money to baseball that should be going to football. It’s baseball guys donating to baseball.

Too many around here seem to think being top notch in baseball is hurting football. That’s not the case. It’s just cheaper to win in basketball and baseball- which makes it easier for us to compete there.

This BS is so tiresome. I just watched the season opening hype video with Mitch Moreland and it really showed me why people like you crap on baseball so much....

Mississippi State Baseball has EVERYTHING that Football wishes it had. Tradition. Championships. MLB All-Stars and high profile player throughout our history. A place amongst the top teams in the sport. Alumni and Donors who step up and give, and then give again, so we have top facilities, coaches, and players. Fans who show up no matter what - weather, hunting, or whatever obstacles be damned. And we show up and takeover games in other towns like Mobile, Memphis, Houston and OMAHA. We get national recognition and the respect of our peers and media. And most importantly, our fans and university hold it to a standard that we are willing to back up. And we've done it for decades.

I love MSU sports. All of them. But, all I've ever heard from football diehards is excuses, finger-pointing, and blame. It's the AD. It's the coach. The donors control too much/not enough. Dove season opens this weekend. Bow season opens this weekend. We are a poor state. Ole Miss influences too much. We don't have alumni. We don't have the facilities. Starkville sucks. LSU and Bama take all the players. We dont cheat. We are cheap. and on. and on. and on.

Meanwhile, baseball just keeps on winning. And if we aren't winning, we do what it takes to win.

This is a dumb take but, hey, State’s baseball facility will be untouchable in conference USA!

Being good in a sport doesn’t hurt any other sport. The emphasis and money going into baseball I stead of football absolutely does hurt the football program and the athletic program (and university) as a whole. I don’t expect most of the baseball diehards to understand or accept this but it WILL be the downfall of MSU athletic program eventually. The fact the fanbase can’t pull in one direction and fully support THE program that will have the biggest impact on the future of MSU is the problem and there is no solution at this point. Just enjoy the view at The Dude while the ship sinks lol

Man are you off base here. Your point might have had some validity 10 or even 4 years ago but it’s a new day now and you need to keep up. You have no idea how these sports are funded and I can tell you that your ideas are way off track. As a matter of fact one of the principles behind the funding of baseball just kicked in millions to the football program. The real fact is that our baseball program is now being funded by a lot of guys who’s only tie to MSU is the baseball, that’s how they got here.

I'm sitting here watching Hofstra take BP at Dudy Noble Field and the people around me are wondering why I just randomly stood up and have them a standing ovation.

Then I showed them your post and they also gave you a standing ovation.

We are not going to get left out if anything. Such a bad take. We are an original member of the SEC. Just because we will likely become the modern Vanderbilt in football just means other teams will get their W in the Fall while we gets ours in the Spring

[Ranchdawg]

Get back to me when this administration wants to get real with football. Hiring of coaches, buying of subpar sec athletes, the hiring of assistant coaches that have never coached their position before arriving at MSU, winning one sec game in two seasons. I could go on and on! We may very well end up in conference USA but it won?t be because baseball.

Best thing I’ve read on here in atleast 5 years. Outstanding !

There will be a realignment in the next 5 years and we will be left out. Book it. I don’t mind baseball at all (grew up playing in school and summer league) but at the end of the day it won’t pay the athletic program bills.

We'll get the Kentucky Colonels deal and be the tallest midget in CUSA if that happens. The PAC just saw the groundwork laid for how Oregon State and Wazzu got fat stacks for themselves. What's funny is this super minor league will be ignored by a lot more of America than these school think if they try a 24 team breakaway.

West Coast already doesn't care. Northeast doesn't care. It's really the Midwest and Southeast. If you cut out half the fanbases between the two - you just lose half the viewers. Auburn getting left out doesn't mean Alabama doubles its fanbase lol. (And Auburn is just as at risk of being left out as Vandy, State, OM, Kentucky, etc.)
