Now the message board fans will boycott until the team starts 10-1 against Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe.
That's not sad. That's part of having a good program. You need irrational fanatics that just can't quit, but there are realistically only going to be so many of those, particularly for baseball. It being a social occasion lets us have more casual fans that still show up in tough times. That's a luxury, not sad.

No. It is ?accepting? of mediocrity. The only thing anybody in power understands these days is $$$$.
And when this start dwindling somebody starts talking and when they start disappearing somebody starts acting! We need action, not talk.

And we should be thankful for it. Every blue blood in every sport eventually has some downturns. Bama had it. UK has been there in basketball. Tennessee was there for almost 2 decades in football and still kept packing them in. Other schools get unconditional support from their fans. They may bitch and want to fire coaches when they lose - but they are THERE. They show up for good and bad. We go 8-4 football or 19-11 in basketball and our fans have quit and start placing conditions on when they will be fans again. Real programs have support no matter what. Baseball is the only program at MSU with unconditional support like Bama/Michigan/UGA etc in football. Any fan of MSU who dogs that or resents that is foolish.

I can't. If and when he gets in the portal, I'll say. I will say he plays a position that is played by one of the guys we know is leaving.

Y’all act like other teams are gonna walk in here and purge every decent player we have on the roster. We have lost ZERO people since the portal has been a thing that have actually went and made a difference elsewhere and also if I can recall besides the one kid who went the A&M to pitch and was a bust, we have lost zero people to other power 5 teams…
Some of y’all need to take a step back a relax. If Lemonis stays, we won’t loose anyone we don’t want to. We will bring in a good pitching coach. I believe that.
This whole narrative we will loose all kinds of people to the portal is stupid. Half of y’all want half the team gone, then will bitch when it happens..

This is true. What really good baseball player don't want to play at the Dude and what MSU has to offer? We can get and keep good talent. The poor ole Mistisipi St. attitude needs to be flushed.
