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.
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.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""
