    oh, we were using different metrics... my bad...

    I agree that Bama baseball is vastly inferior to, and in no way comparable to MSU baseball when using criteria other than wins, championships and the like.

    hopefully, the new bama stadium will be nice.

    So why did you say our baseball jobs were comparable...? Glad you saw the light.

    Bama football >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> State football
    Bama basketball = State basketball
    Bama Baseball <<< State baseball

    (In my opinion how I see it)

    Back to the topic at hand, this is an interesting hire. Certainly a bigger name than in the past, but I'm not sure how much excitement and momentum this brings the fanbase. And i'm not sure what kind of work he is willing to put in as a recruiter

    It was a misunderstanding, Big4... the only metrics I used in my "comparable" comment, were "on the field" related... (Ws, hardware, etc)...

    In NO way would I suggest Bama has better baseball facilities or attendance than msu...

    also, I changed "job" to "program"... that was my bad, too.

    We're 188-210-4 all time against Bama but they're 213-175-3 against us? How the hell does that work? One or both of those is wrong. Records would have to be the inverse of each other.

    Bama logic. Remember this is the school with 2,456 proclaimed National Titles in football. Hell Bear Bryant won 893 of them and Saban has won over 1,351 of them in only a decade.

    While the numbers are closer than expected, nobody looks at the 2 programs as being that close

    The 33 other remaining national titles in football are held by the sharkbears from oxfart, at least that is what the tsun folks say. That is based on polls from a leading women's housekeeping magazine and a cereal company, so it must be true.

    I just wonder how much heart and effort Johnson can put in recruiting 17-18 year olds and their mama's.

    The key for Johnson will be what kind of staff he puts together. If he gets a staff with a couple dynamite recruiters he can definitely succeed. If not it's going to be tough sledding.

    the first record is from the MSU media guide; the 2nd is from the Bammer media guide...

    baseball series records often do not match based on which school you "ask"... it's not uncommon...

    agreed, perception oft times differs from reality.
