The Governor's Cup

[Todd4State]

Well that should settle it. Was talking to a former player tonite about Lemon and he said the problem with the team program wide.

The game management was gross. That's 110% on Lemonis. We should have won tonight like 10-2 with decent game manager.

I'm watching our pitchers throw their third inning with loss of command and getting rockets hit off of them and they do nothing.

On defense and base running- it just looks like we don't practice it enough. I'm lumping catcher into defense.

From talking to Lemonis I think he focuses too much on pressure instead of getting the players to relax and it carries over to the rest of the team. The game is tough enough without pointing out the 15k fans there and the pressure of winning.

[Todd4State]

I am just guessing that will be the spin. He is an asshat who needs to shave, shower, and cut his hair.

As for the other fanboys, one of them needs Ozempic and the other needs to stick to whatever crappy cover songs he attempts to play on guitar and high school sports.

I love it when you bash the media.

Whatever the hell we do it needs to be the exact opposite of whatever Faulk wants to do. That's for damn sure.

[Skydawg1]

Hot take: I think Lem has thrown in the towel. Hard to defend the moves he makes or doesn't make when things get tight. I think he also relies on Jeff "Dick" Head to make some hard decisions for him.

[Skydawg1]

Agree on all points my man.

That Breaking: Mississippi State is making a change at head baseball coach tweet is going to hit like Novocain.

I simply have more patience than your over the shoulder drink tossing self.

LOL!! It's been awhile since I've watched that. Gotta' put it on the weekend viewing list!!

[CaptainObvious]

So Hines goes 0-5 with 4 K's in front of his friend and a family member, and damn Ross-Highfill made a couple of screw ups but played his damn ass off and came off looking like Pigpen from Peanuts with his shirt halfway out and dirt from head to toe. He busts his ass but he just isn't a good enough catcher or a smart enough base runner! When he ran all the way to 3rd and stood there and the guy didn't tag him and he tries to run all the way back to second, it reminded me of that meme with the little kid running almost within 2 feet of third and then running back to second safely. If only Highfill would have been safe back at second, he could have replace that little league meme with the college player version. It is so comical, I can't help but laugh instead of cry!

He's not saying anything right now. That's a very bad sign if you are Lemonis.

And you have people starting threads over there about Lemonis being replaced. If there is nothing to it he always interjects and asks people for sources. But this past week he isn't interjecting or saying anything.

There is a lot of smoke right now as you know.

I'm ready for a raging California wildfire. 17 smoke.

[TALL DAWG]

Hunter has k’ed 9-10 times (including 4 last night) with 1 hit and 1 walk in last 4 games.
He’s frustrated with his lack of hitting from the emotion he showed in dugout last night.
I like Hines and I’m not hating on him but he needs to be in 8 or 9 hole for time being.
He had been doing a whole lot better over past 3 weeks (including going to opposite field occasionally) until last weekend. We need him to get right again.

I do know. There has been smoke for about 3 weeks. That is why he has slowly started pulling back on his support of Lemonis. That is also why I know it is over and have changed my tune to go ahead and pull the plug. We have had the money for close to a month. It is not about raising money any longer.

Unfortunately, that is 2 (really 3) years too late.

Hey!!!! Someone who agrees with me that we should've fired him after 22!!

[tcdog70]

I personally cannot wait to see how Rosebowl spins this one.

April 22nd: I am always behind the Mississippi State HC and I truly believe Chris Lemonis can turn it around.

The minute we fire him: I always knew he was below average and it would come out when the Cohen/Cannizarro talent ran out.

dude--we have talent--but Shitty Coaches.

[StarkVegasSteve]

dude--we have talent--but Shitty Coaches.

Yep. We have top end talent but Rose Bowl will never admit that Cohen made a bad hire.

Moorhead- “He was a good hire, but he just lost control and so Cohen had to fire him.”

Cannizarro: “He was a great hire but Cohen had no choice but to fire him.”

McCray: “She was a great hire, but lost control and had health issues.”

Probably Lemonis: “He was a great hire, but the talent John recruited left and we were never able to replace that talent.”


It can never just be Cohen made a shitty hire. It always has to be it was a great hire but the wheels came off.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We have more talent in this lineup than the team that won it. I would argue this is the most talented team offensively we have had since 2019. But we do absolutely nothing else well, most other things we are laughably bad and it?s all things that could be fixed with coaching. Lemonis should have been fired after the 2nd car wreck season in 2023. He is a world class underachiever right now

And right 17ing NOW.

[Coach34]

Our pitching in SEC games only has an ERA of 6.06

[Santiago]

Some aggravated comments from me :
1. two years ago we had people on this board and other boards proclaiming "CEO coach", and how he just needs to fix the assistants . It was as if Lemonis had no responsibility. At least now the consensus is he is to be fired. I wanted him out 2 years ago and on the boards was called "the fire lemonis crowd". Jokes about how quickly we wanted him fired after the NC, etc.
2. Selmon - probably a great guy, and talented person. Glad he is with us and cleaning house. But this is more toward Keenum, on hiring as an SEC AD, a person with no AD experience. His other candidates , especially Benko, was running another program.
But here we are, and without a strong AD for a major sport to sort of block out all the influences.
