And to respond to Mutt in another thread, but this deserves it's own.
The fans at MSU want to win. Hopefully we will get a new coach who will do that.
Now, the problem that has come to light is that the players don't want to get yelled at for making "that's baseball mistakes", and winning is not high on their priority list. Some are threatening to leave. Mutt made a good point in that Millsaps probably doesn't want them. And if they try to follow Raffo en masse to Samford (or where ever) well, that cause some MAJOR roster problems if 70% of our players tried to go there. Many of our players would be left out in the cold!
But I do know of ONE team that is looking for players. And this school just so happens to have some MSU connections via the Internet and GP- albeit creepy at times- of course it is none other than OREGON!
Their fans have heard a bunch of great stuff about MSU baseball- and now they can have their VERY OWN MSU PLAYERS! I imagine they would be happy to have some guys with SEC experience in the PAC-10.
Now, George Horton is the coach at Oregon. I know very little about him. He may be a grade A turd and he may be Billy Graham. He's probably somewhere in between. But nonetheless, I seriously doubt that he is going to be all that upset if his team- the equivalent of an expansion team- loses some games here and there. And the 50 or so Oregon fans that actually show up will probably care very little if their team sucks it up as well. They're probably just happy to have a team. So, here's a place where you can be non-competitive.
They also will have hideously ugly baseball uniforms, which many of the players should be used to wearing. The only difference is Oregon's will have tire tracks on them in some weird place.
Seeing as how Oregon State is a national power, you can continue to get your *** handed to you by your in-state rival, but the difference is no one will care. Even better! No pressure!
Now, some of the players will be thinking, yes, but what about my Diamond Girlfriend Ashley-Kate-Mary-Lynn? Oregon is a LONG way away. Well, Oregon will probably need some Diamond Girls, so take the ***** with you! The two of you could be PIONEER'S!
The other issue is Sunday School. Well, let me tell you, Oregon is one of the least churched states in the country. This could be a mission trip! Now go forth and make disciples of all nations.
And you could keep your MSU connections via GP and 647202184202 and Pongdog. I'm sure they would all be so proud of you. And from me, don't let the door hit you on your *** on the way out.
