Can may have ruined the OM baseball program

[JungRebel]

Nothing makes the natives more restless over here than seeing MSU have success. My prediction is we fire Bianco after next season and hire Godwin back so he can recruit top five classes and finish barely above .500 so many years in a row we hire Bianco 2 ala Polk in 2021. We get back to Omaha in 2023, promptly going 0-2 before three straight losing seasons to finish it off. OM baseball wanders through the desert for 15 years before hiring an up and coming hitting coach from LSU and finishes national runner-up in 2038, three years after JungRebel dies in a car wreck insuring he never gets to see it. My only request is my death be posted to watchpeopledie on reddit, no matter how grainy the footage.

Congrats.

Bianco is probably safe. I think he's the all time winningest coach in Ole Miss history and he has taken Ole Miss to Omaha. We didn't fire Polk- and I highly doubt Byrne would have even after one losing season. He resigned on his own. I think that's how Bianco will likely leave too- and he has a kid who doesn't graduate until 2020.

 

[JungRebel]

I like Bianco and want him to stay until he completely loses it or leaves on his own. He's earned that in my book. All I meant was nothing makes OM fans go full retard like MSU success. I am glad I was away from the computer for a week when MSU played for the championship.

Some old money guy was bitching about Bianco at The Mayflower Wednesday night. So there's that.

Bianco is the most successful Big 3 coach at Ole Miss in my lifetime. Good luck replacing him.

You have the solace of knowing that the conference retard karma is very much out of balance at the moment, what with your football program staring at a NCAA hot beef injection and watching from the sidelines while your baseball program underperformed and we make a super. The conference karma gods cannot be happy about the imbalance. My prediction is that the football season may prove to be fertile ground for the angry karma gods.

 

[KurtRambis4]

To be fair, I believe

Cohen did what you see today.

No disrespect to Bianco, but Cohen came in and reestablished our recruiting grounds.

 

[bulldognation]

As long as you guys keep winning recruiting titles... since that's all the fan base seems to get worked up over anyway.

We'll just sit over here and keep performing.

 

[JungRebel]

Cohen may not be a baseball genius (I have seen him called much worse here throughout the years) but he sure as hell looks like one right now, and he made a good hire with his first move as AD.

Deal. As long as I get to overlay the Benny Hill theme on the video.

I believe basketball is where all the bad juju is being sunk at the moment.

the good news is, you guys can still throw your drinks on each other all you want. what a great tradition............

 

[Bulldogg31]

Baseball's such a funny game. I didn't give us a chance to do much at all this year after the Oregon and Arkansas series. Then seeing OM get off to such a hot start really pissed me off about the state of our baseball program.

That was about 60 days ago.

Bianco's recruiting looks solid, if he can find a couple more bats you'll be right back in the mix pretty soon.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Even his biggest

detractors, have been proven wrong, at this point. To still doubt or argue against what he did surely shows ones ignorance.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

hot beef injection.

This was my xboxlive name for a long time

 

[JungRebel]

I imagine that tradition began as a magical moment, OM down late in a game, perhaps down to their last out, perhaps down to their last strike, when all of a sudden a heater over the plate got turned around toward the right field wall, and an OM fan in his 9th inning drunken stupor, caught between the highs of an alcoholic reverie and the depths of a rock bottom stroke out, realized all at once that not only did Ole Miss just improbably win an important baseball game, but also that the home run ball was coming straight towards him, and in a moment sheer idiotic inspiration he threw his lukewarm full beer straight into the air in celebration and anticipation of catching said home run, and some other kid standing next to him, just recently come to by the commotion, also throws his beer into the air in a monkey-see-monkey-do-so-****-me-and-my-beer-too moment of sheer ecstasy, perfecting the moment and cementing themselves as geniuses to all spectators who could appreciate it.

Now if we hit a 17'n home run up 17-3 in the 8th against Arkansas pine bluff every jackass freshman who is still conscious that late in the game throws a fresh cold one into the air to 'carry on tradition.'

I sit in the grandstand now.

Bianco may be coaching for his job next spring. If he misses the regionals again, that may be it for him. They are extremely restless up there and even a lot of the most reasonable ones are about ready to pull the trigger. Our success lately isn't doing anything to help him, that's for sure.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Godwin is not setting the world on fire in his 3rd year with a 32-28 record and missing a regional at East Carolina. He started strong but this year has been a struggle. Having played at ECU, he may not even want to come compete in the SEC West and is under contract until 2022,

 

[engie]

Meh

Bianco just missed regionals for the first time in 6 years and the third time in 17 years. And, to be fair, OM should have gotten in, given what we now know. 6 of the final 16 being from the SEC and all.

He is definitely suffering from the Stansbury syndrome though and will likely see OM through a similar fate.
