Apparently not, as it's happened to several other schools in the last decade or 2

I'm like everyone here and disappointed in our season. However I'd sign up for 4 trips to omaha w a runner up and a ship every ten years w one missed tourney. And we had 2 in the decade.

Don't forget an SEC tournament championship in 2012, an SEC regular season championship in 2016 and five straight super regional appearances from 2016 until last year.
We've been spoiled in the last 10 years.

2011-2021 was the best 10 year run our program has ever had.
2016-2021 was the best 5 year run our program has ever had.
Growing up as a MSU fan in the 80's-90's that run was a dream come true for me. Always knew we had the potential. Actually we have the potential to do more and I think we will.

There was actually talk lately that he might. He had fallen down the boards a little bit

"Whether Cijntje turns pro this summer or heads to Mississippi State remains to be seen. He’s small for a pitcher at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, and clubs believe his talent presently fits in the sixth- to 10th-round range, which may not be high enough to divert him from the Bulldogs."

Colby Holcombe - JC Transfer for MSU- RHP
Now #132 in MLB-200
"Often compared physically to Noah Syndergaard, who was more advanced at the same stage, Holcombe easily could add another 20 pounds to his 6-foot-7 frame. His biggest backers believe he can thrive as a starter once he adds some strength and does a better job of maintaining his stuff and throwing strikes. Others envision him as a late-inning reliever with an upper-90s fastball and a wipeout slider. "

Sounds like he could be a dang good closer…
Also, did anyone see where KC Hunt had an excellent start the other night. 6IP, 3 hits, 0ER, 8Ks, 1BB

He's also majoring in "military strategic studies" which seems pretty awesome!
Hobby is fishing so that bodes well.
In addition to really good pitching numbers:
.314 with 13 HR and 10 doubles in 2022.
.410 with 11 HR and 21 doubles in 2021.
Can catch if need be.

Yeah this guy really does qualify as "utility player". Excellent pitcher and he can hit for average and power and catch if needed. I like his major and hobby as well!
