    We are building a monster

    Guys, does anyone else see what?s happening with our baseball program?. Like this is no small deal. We are going one thousand percent all in. A huge nil contribution came in already and another one is coming next week. We hired the best coach in baseball. And we have the Carnegie Hall at the dude!! Man, it?s about to be fun!!

    Yeah, I think so. At this point, if O'Connor retires without multiple national championships, and more trips to Omaha than years where we don't make it, that's a disappointment.

    He'd better start hitting some homeruns in the portal if that's the case.........Still two more weeks left until it closes so we'll see what happens.........

    2 more weeks until players can't enter anymore.

    But yes, need a SS, C, and some high level arms.

    We?re Back! Looking forward to this NEW staff! I don?t know the solution but for the eyes watching on tv please fix the empty seats in prime areas of the Dude. It is a bad look on tv to have thousands of empty seats in prime areas. Especially true for SEC weekends.

    Also for those in triple crown club area please show some enthusiasm. Most act like they are at church on Sunday morning.

    they simply show when they want to and have had tickets in the family since the late 60's. the crown club is where the influential hang out and they think they are impressing someone simply by being there.

    I'm proud of us. We have had guys step up the last 8 weeks and say enough- we want to remain a top baseball program. It's freakin huge.

    We still have problems in recruiting with small town StarkVegas and being in Mississippi- but money is no longer an issue. We have eliminated the Big Boys buying guys from us. And to our "crowds" peeps- it doesnt help a whole lot to attract recruits- but it does help a whole lot in keeping players.

    BOC is gonna have to change a little in that he has to be a big portal guy this offseason and next offseason as he builds recruiting classes- so I'm interested to see how he does there.

    I think he knows what he has to do in the portal. Don?t think he had the support to really be competitive much less successful in the portal. If you can recruit, and you have the resources with the facilities, Starkville is not going to be the problem the majority of the time. Now a days, we should leverage small town with safety and security as a strength.

    The longer it takes the less our chances- means the other Big Boys are making headway

    Our recruiting big board needs to be field with the most talented players in the country that also like to hunt and fish. There are enough talented "rednecks" out there to field an Omaha caliber team.

    Unfortunately we will not be signing Becker. He will be staying at UVA or heading to Texas.
