    We are behind the 8 ball on hosting now. SC and Fla would have to really falter to not host. A&M is gonna host. That leaves us fighting LSU and Vandy for another host spot. Could the SEC get 5? Sure. But we gonna have to really ball out like Chris Jones to get host

    That would help. But it really all depends on how they react to getting kicked in the junk. It's easy when your winning now we will find out if this team has stones or not.

    This is why not finishing off the sweeps on UGA and Northern Miss were so bad. I can forgive not sweeping Vandy up there, because Vandy at Vandy. But not finishing off UGA and Northern Miss was awful.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    Yep, not a good time to lay an egg. A&M is good but they aren't better than Florida. Should have at least taken one in the series. We made their pitching staff look a lot better then it is. If we take two from LSU next weekend and Bama can take two from A&M next weekend we could be right back in it.

    We cannot lose another series, but if we do lose 2 of three next week we need to sweep 2 series of 3 out of AU, Arky and Mizzou. To be honest, u am expecting to take 2 of 3 next weekend for some reason and think we sweep on other to finish 11-4 in our final 15. It will take that to get a host spot. If so many other SEC teams weren't doing so well ahead of us, then 10-5 would get it.

    With you Bucky. Gonna need at least 2 sweeps if we don't win 2 at LSU. In typical fashion we probably rally and get 2 including Sunday.

    Cohen is a better version of Stansbury. Will always bring in enough talent to keep us relevant, but his poor decision making will always prevent us from being as good as we can be.

    And another thing, he needs to figure this home field thing out. We have one of the most incredible home field advantages in the country, yet we get swept on our home field, lose to EKU on our home field, lose to Oral Roberts on our home field, etc. I'm getting sick and ****ing tired of us packing that stadium with record crowds only to see Cohen shit his pinstripes. Fix that shit, John.

    It's ok. But SEC baseball is MUCH tougher than SEC hoops. Basically it means he'll never win the league, he'll make Regionals better than 50% of the time but rarely host, and he'll never win the big one. It's acceptable, but nothing to build a 55 million dollar stadium over.

    That NC series year was clearly the exception, not the norm.

    Hope I'm wrong. I'm probably just pissed bc every ****ing time I fully buy in to a Cohen team, they crush my soul. Ha

    This weekend our hitters didn't come to play but part of it is the lineup order sucks balls. After Morrero struck out three times in the two hole on Friday, he should have been moved down. Collins should never be in the two hole. I think we should have had Rooker in the two hole Saturday and today. Would have made a big difference.

    I predict our lineup will really hit its stride once we get Robson back and move Mangum to the two hole and take Brown out of the lineup. We should move Collins down to eight and have Marrero hit in the six hole. Robson, Mangum, Lowe, Humphreys, and Rooker make a pretty formidible top of the lineup. Marrero, Gridley, Collins, and Stovall at the bottom of the order would be good as well.

    I agree with you though Cadaver, Cohen will win just enough to not get him fired. This was a weekend where all you had to do was get one win and we couldn't do it. A&M had a losing record on the road and Auburn even beat this team once. And before anyone says that was before they got it figured out their lineup has stayed the same all year long. It wouldn't surprise me if South Carolina sweeps A&M since that series is on the road.

    That's because he makes questionable recruiting decisions as much as anything else...

    The 2013 team won in spite of Cohen AND his decision to pitch Graveman against OSU instead of the championship series cost us a national championship.
