but Lemonis has been fired pretty much every week.
It’s not exclusive to just State’s fanbase.We truly have the worst fans. It seems half our fanbase wants us to, or expects us to, fail. The other board had a positive post on Hunter Hines, it quickly turned into a post sh*tting on DJ. How does that happen?
I also feel like this would be a good time to reiterate that while this year has been a vast improvement from the last two abominations, we're 5th in the SEC standings and 8th in overall record. In other words, we're still talking bare minimum baseball expectations, so I'll gladly put the pitchforks down for the time being so that I can enjoy weekends like this last one, but let's not act like Lemonis has earned himself a 4 yr extension by getting this team into the discussion for a 2 seed in someone else's regional.Lemonis gave us two really ****** seasons. I think it's just the opposite if you were not upset and ready to move on after that. We expect to win in baseball. If he can keep the wheels on and get to a regional, I will be good. I just want to win. I don't care with who. It can be with him or without him. Three season not making as regional, every State fan should be upset and ready to move on if that happens.

That SEC record is with the weakest possible SEC schedule. Miss the top 3 teams in the East and play the top 2 in the West in the road. People are getting excited about the improvement. And we are improved. But this is still a very mediocre season & team by Mississippi State standards.I also feel like this would be a good time to reiterate that while this year has been a vast improvement from the last two abominations, we're 5th in the SEC standings and 8th in overall record.

I really think we are the worst. I know OM fans don't trash their players, program, university and town near the amount we do.It’s not exclusive to just State’s fanbase.
We are worse than most.It’s not exclusive to just State’s fanbase.
Go read other school's message boards. It's every online fanbase and everyone of them spews the same vitriol.I really think we are the worst. I know OM fans don't trash their players, program, university and town near the amount we do.
The "every fanbase does it" thought is similar to Jxn residents chiming in with "crime happens everywhere" when there's a rare violent crime in Ranking or Madison counties.

I don't read any other schools message boards, but I see OM FB sites (somehow they keep popping up in my feed although I routinely report them as hate speech), there's a huge difference in their FB fan sites than ours. If they have a player transfer, it much more, "thank you for your service and good luck," when one our players transfer, it much more of, "he sucks!"Go read other school's message boards. It's every online fanbase.
Their goal is to keep up with us and they've done it lately because we've lowered our program standards.I think our friends - and I use that term loosely - to the North go through the same mental gymnastics with their club each year as well. And yet there's probably little doubt their coach will return next year. Would anyone here trade Lemonis for Bianco? And if not, then why should we trade mindsets?
You're dead wrong. I listened to OM fans declare their team and coach garbage all weekend. They want Bianca fired bad. They even said we're better than them and they just got lucky to win two against us. They do in baseball what we do in football.I really think we are the worst. I know OM fans don't trash their players, program, university and town near the amount we do.

No not really. They really are all that bad including pro teams. State fan sites aren’t exclusive in that department I promise you.We are worse than most.
I'd still fire him if he can't make a super. This whole team is gone after this year and should be competing at that level. Just making a regional at State is the bare damn minimum and after two terrible seasons where he admitted to getting lazy, he should get us to a super. But know that won't matter either way, so no point in complaining. Let's see where it goes rest of the season. He's got to recruit better.
Especially in the NIL age. But the other side of the coin is - you can quickly recover as well. I would think our program, facilities and the fact we care about baseball in regards to NIL - those are all pluses. Just being absolutely horrible the past 2 seasons countered that. Some very recent success will go a long way in recruiting the portal. That's the reason we didn't get Skenes.Btw, anybody happen to notice that teams recently have had pretty precipitous dropoffs after national title runs. Building off of them is not often a thing.

Some of y’all are just flat out delusional and living in a fantasy land. MSU baseball over the last 20 years is closer to that 5th position than it is first in the SEC. So therefore, this season is pretty much the norm.I also feel like this would be a good time to reiterate that while this year has been a vast improvement from the last two abominations, we're 5th in the SEC standings and 8th in overall record.

I think that’s more coincidence than anything else.Btw, anybody happen to notice that teams recently have had pretty precipitous dropoffs after national title runs. Building off of them is not often a thing.
For Lemonis, this year IS the up cycle. We will struggle to stay out of the SEC bottom third next season because we have nobody back and no power without an incredible portal haul which MSU doesn't do.I'd still fire him if he can't make a super.

YESSSS!!! it is because we're used to being one of those top 4 teams, at least until Lemonhead won the natty with someone else's players, and then sat on his fat baseball bucket and sank our program back to the dark ages. I still want him gone ASAP because no matter what we do this year, next year's team is likely to be hot garbage, and the one after that as well.5th in an SEC where the Top 4 teams were the Top 4 teams in the country just last week??
Is that really a problem??

This mythology has been debunked in other threads.at least until Lemonhead won the natty with someone else's players
Correct. I have ranted before in childish tantrums then later realizing I shoulda waited after thinking before posting or better yet once sober.That's what I was about to say. We, here, are clearly more than just casual fans or even normal fans. We're kind of obsessed... as is every other group of fans of teams/schools that read and participate in message boards on a regular basis.
