And as bad as I hate to say it, Ron Polk is somewhere laughing his ass off

[Tbonewannabe]

Whats the deepest Polk ever got in the CWS?

Same as we got this year.

[Todd4State]

Bullsh*t. You ppl talk out of both ends to fit your argument. Now it's okay to when a Natty and then not worry about the future?? Then ****ing keep the HC that just took you there! His great assistants and the whole team - that love him BTW - will be back and we'd make another run for a Natty. Then if he falters down the road you replace him with Jake.

I was talking about the comparison Gene Chizek.

And I guess you agree with me about Henderson now?

[Goldendawg]

Except that the B10 is actually awesome in football. They are mid majors in baseball. Even USM would dominate the big 10 in baseball.

My thoughts exactly. Now behind the hire, but very disappointed in IB's statements about who we would get. It had me expecting a big name that I had heard of. Oh well, as I stated before, I had never heard of JoMo before his hire and that is looking very good so far. Hail State!

[Jarius]

Um... and it's been stated over and over in multiple threads that he inherited a great situation and hasn't improved the situation at all. The great recruiter hasn't finished above 30 and doesn't even finish top in the conference... in record or recruiting.

He inherited a program that consistently recruits shitty because of where it's at. No one is going to recruit well to Indiana. He recruited lights out at Louisville in the adjusted recruiting rankings. He took over a program that went to a regional the year before and went to 3 more regionals in 4 years to have almost half of the regionals in the school's history. Comparing him to Gene Chizik pre Auburn is just factually incorrect. He's not who I wanted to hire, but he's got a better resume than Gene Chizik ever thought about having before he went to Auburn.

Glad you added "adjusted" to your reply because Lousiville's recruiting has gone up since he left and Indiana's hasn't improved.

Last I'm saying about Lemonis (at least until y'all start bashing him in a few years, then I'll probably defend him). Hope he wins a 1000 games here over the next 25 years!

Folks on another board are saying it is Le-MOH-nis

How about ?Lemon Ice??

[Turfdawg67]

How about ?Lemon Ice??

Someone on SPS said that only Cohen could take Lemonis and make him Lemonisade. LOL.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Outside of Manieri and Sully what have these guys done to laugh about .. ( Van Horn better get his this week)

MSU has top-10 potential next year, but will be coached by a developmental coach instead of an Alpha Predator that could have completely changed the competitive landscape. At least we still have Gautreau

But I hope to be wrong. To soccer fans they see this as Everton hiring David Unsworth this past season

Adjusted is literally the only ones that matter.

I keep seeing where people think Cohen should explain himself to the fanbase because of what he said during the coaching search. Cohen will explain himself but he will explain himself to a select group of fans and that will be the fans with the largest checkbooks.
Normal athletic donors (or non-donor fans) demanding an explanation from the AD is comical. Cohen is responsible for wins and money. If the new coach wins the money will keep coming in. If the new coach does not win Cohen will have to make a decision and he will again explain himself to certain people.
Remember how we fired our baseball coach 3 games into the season and Cohen held a press conference and explained to everyone exactly what happened?

Thank You.....

That's exactly how other people I know named Lemonis pronounce it.

[fader2103]

I know for a fact that Polk wants MSU to do great in baseball. He would love nothing more for us to succeed and win national championships. If you think other wise then 1. You don?t know the guy. B. Not everyone holds grudges. And last. Polk knows he built the foundation for MSU and his name will always be attached to MSU.

[dawgoneyall]

Lol yeah, love when they say Gene Chizik. Chizik won a natty.

He bought a natty.

[Pit Bull]

I pronounce it as..... lemon is as lemon does.

[Bothrops]

He bought a natty.

This.

And this thread is sad.

[sleepy dawg]

If anybody's laughing they aren't a Bulldog, I don't care what their history is. That said, I don't think Polk is laughing, but if he is, then be gone with him.

Like Todd said though, our fans need to straighten up pretty quickly. Put this sh*t behind us and move on and support our coaches and AD until it's clear that its not time to support them. That time is not now for any of them.

[Jarius]

I can understand that people wanted a bigger name (so did I), but it feels like some people think this hire is a failure and we just don't know that at all yet (and I'm willing to bet he will do a good job). Cohen values recruiting over most things from what I've gathered, and it seems like he would know more than anyone on here on how good of a recruiter this guy has been. All of the national baseball "experts" say he's a great recruiter as well. It's ok to have a different opinion, but some people are going overboard, as usual.

[State82]

I fail to see the relevance in this entire thread, from the beginning.
