...and softball who lost to tenner this weekend. Soccer who couldn't finish the year with a win...
But hey he’s raising our NIL, because that’s an area we can compete….
The big 3 sports at any level is Football, Basketball, and Baseball.
It’s honestly a big 2. Football and MBB *huge gap* baseball and WBB
Really a Big 1. Football. Big gap. Basketball. Huge gap. Womens basketball. Big gap. Everything else.
I mean… I love Mississippi State baseball, but nationally, college baseball is lower on the rung than women’s basketball.
If you think the ceiling for this football team is 6-6, then don't watch.
So for now, we have Basketball (vast improvement over what we had before) and Football (way too early to know anything) clearly on Salmon's resume as he hired them. Baseball, if it doesn't improve dramatically this year with something post-season to show for will be on him due to either action or inaction I would think.
Wow, talk about putting on the maroon blinders, and wrapping yourself up in the maroon sheep-wool blanket.
and lost a home game to 15-19 Air Force, swept at home by Austin Peay, lost a home game to 19-17 GA Southern, a neutral site game to 20-16 S. AL, a home game to 22-15 LSU that is now 3-12 in conference and has been swept twice in conference and lost 2 of 3 three times, we lost at home to 13-21 Central Arkansas, and just lost 2 out of 3 including a run rule to a terrible Univ of Northern MS team. Yeah, we'll be fine***........
I think this is a good thread and time to bring this back, especially the last 2 sentences......."maroon blinders and sheep-wool blanket" hahahahahahahahahah
That was a reasonable take. Who knew Arnett would be THAT terrible? Basketball made the dance (and underachieved). And it's obvious baseball is underachieving for some pretty easy-to-see reasons, and overall talent isn't really one of them (although we are definitely a bunch of pvssies).
Yeah. At some point it's not "just baseball." It's just bad baseball.
We are better than our record.
No. We're not. We're just not. Gaping holes in the lineup at C, 3B, 2B, and DH (that's 44% of our lineup BTW). Razor thin pitching depth. We are who we are. And that's a very mediocre baseball team.
That's not very sound logic. And coming from a person with a clear agenda (just like with Cohen in his early days), it's hard for me to take that seriously.
You really can't. You can flop a couple of those midweek game where we came back, and I did that. But not many other teams have the totally blown games that we do, due to stupid stuff.
Well, you deleted the part of my post with the reasons and logic, so yeah. Just for the hell of it, what’s your logic that we are better than our record?
There are 3-4 games we could have lost but we played well and won.
Those were just assumptions.
You're lying if you are sitting here trying to say this year has not been a disappointment. You know it has. Baseball preseason expectations are notoriously wrong. After watching this team up through now, and you don't think this year is a disappointment from what your EYES, not Kendall Rogers, tell you, then you're missing some screws.
Selmon’s tenure won’t be judged on baseball. It’s never happened in the history of AD’s. Whether Selmon sinks or swims will depend on football.
