This is a Mississippi State sports board. The mentality that we care about day to day details of what is happening with the Ole Miss baseball program is what is wrong with our fanbase. I actually heard three people say Saturday night that it was alright that we lost because Ole Miss lost. It's not alright. 17 Ole Miss. They are our rivals, but the only thing that has happened in the last year that even warrants a post about Ole Miss (besides game week) is the Andy Kennedy debacle because it was national sports news.

Jake Morgan blowing out his arm has no business on this board in the middle of the football season. In fact, it should only be mentioned on this board if we were getting ready to play Ole Miss in baseball.

I hate the %!%* crap from Mullen as much as anyone else, but I do love the message - Ole Miss does not matter. We should not be comparing ourselves with them, nor worrying about their baseball team in the middle of October.

But I'm with you, I HATE when our fans say **** like that about "well that makes me feel better, b/c Ole Miss lost too." I want to hit them in the mouth with a pipe wrench.

it just seems that many State people are simply obsessed with anything and everything that has to do with Ole Miss, constantly comparing our program with whatever they do or don't do. It's a malady and seemingly passed down from one generation to the other, and a perfect example of negativism. It's probably the result of having been beaten down so damn much over the years, and more often than not, it's a case of "we have met the enemy, and the enemy is us."

OM's closer going down for the season directly impacts MSU baseball seeing as we play them 4 times in a year.

Just like if Patrick Patterson blew out his knee, up at UK, it would be discussed here.

If you don't want to read about a competitor of ours being out for an extended period of time, then don't click on the thread. It's that simple.

talk about another school's athletics on this board would you? Oh man, we better not talk about the NFL because MSU doesn't play any of those teams.
And to be completely honest, it does make me feel better when Ole Miss loses after we have already taken a defeat. I am not saying I prefer losing but if we do lose I would love for Ole Miss to come down with us.

the other team "might do" and "has done" instead of taking care of what we can do....big difference.
