You are such a god damn homer. Get out of your grandmother's basement and get some fresh air.

Was OM or Bianco mentioned?

You really think Cohen & Saban need to be mentioned in the same sentence at this point?

You said Cohen has never won anything. Yet, he has. Just correcting you, and reminding you that your guy actually HASN'T won anything.

The comparison between Saban and Cohen is not like you are trying to make it out to be. I think what the poster was saying is that Saban has turned Alabama around quickly, and back into a national power all of a sudden. Something a lot of State fans feel like Cohen can do for us. Comprende?

Would you rather win the SEC and not win a regional game? Give me a break. Saban is and was a big name before he got to Bama. Cohen not so much. The better comparison would be Saban going to LSU after Mich St. It's really pathetic to rip Bianco. He's easily one of the best coaches in the country.</p>

One would think that "easily" one of the best coaches in the country would've been to Omaha by now. Or at least won the conference. Ripping Bianco will be a lot easier now that we are about to reestablish our dominance.

Of course you include a regular season SEC championship in your list of great coaching accomplishments since your coach has done it. How many regional wins does he have? Doesn't he have as many as Polk last year and as many as you and me? You don't need to try to get me to get in a pissing match for you to know how good a coach Bianco is. It is ridiculous to think that Cohen or any other coach would have been the sole reason that OM would have advanced in the two game 3s of the Super Regionals. Coaches can really only do so much and that is to recruit well, improve the players that make it your school and put you in a position to advance to Omaha. You can't sit there and say hey you lost this game or that game so you're not a good coach. He has put them into position to win year in and year out and that is the sign of a great coach. He built a powerhouse program from nothing. You know as well as anyone how good a coach he is, I know you're just tryin to talk ****. It's all good.

..we could probably elevate Cohen to the status of best coach ever. In any sport.

Yea. and done it at Kentucky. A school that gives 1/100th of a **** about baseball that MSU does. Bianco has had better resources to do it and still hasn't done it. Now Cohen has much better resources than he did at KY. As Sean Connery say on Celebrity Jeapordy, "The game is afoot".

How many regional wins does he have? Doesn't he have as many as Polk last year and as many as you and me?
And Polk took a team to the CWS year before last and he's a freaking mental case. Now sit there and tell me that Polk is a better manager two years ago that Cohen is now.

Coaches can really only do so much and that is to recruit well, improve the players that make it your school and put you in a position to advance to Omaha.
And Cohen's recruiting so far has Yancy Porter flat out lying to the spirit faithful about how much scholarship money that Cohen is offering. What does that tell you about Cohen's recruiting so far? I think it's pretty damn good. He has also already proven that he can improve the players that make it to school at KY... what was left on the list again?

You can't sit there and say hey you lost this game or that game so you're not a good coach.
Obviously never watched a Polk managed game.

He built a powerhouse program from nothing.
Powerhouse? woahhh step back a bit there Backer. Still a ways to go before you can start powerhouse talk. There is no such thing as a powerhouse baseball team that has never set foot in Rosenblatt Stadium.

Powerhouse?Never listen to Ole Miss fans when it comes to their baseball program.A Powerhouse? what the #$#%??You have to make it to Omaha atlest in the last 20yrs to even be in a topic of a powehouse.

MSU had one of the worst 5yr runs we have ever had and yet we still made a trip out to Omaha and in doing so broke super reg attendance records.OM has a solid baseball programs that chokes like all get out in post season play that about sums up the OM baseball program.

I also don't think OM will change from being a solid program with Cohen at MSU but it just made a whole lot of things harder.1 Cohen only cares about MSU winning he could give a #$%$ about any other program,2 the man can recruit,3 he has a proven track record and by the way he is the only in-state HC with a SEC title.

What I watched this weekend of our baseball boys I liked alot!!In your face style of baseball and was easy to see the kids have took to it 100%.We still are two yrs away but the 09 season could have some tourny play in it if a few things happen.
