re: Mississippi State Baseball

There's a lot of things that separate State from UT baseball wise. Namely it's the baseball culture and fan support that's existed since the Ron Polk era.

You already answered yourself though. "Can’t imagine Tenn doesn’t have the funding to catch up with states facilities in about 4-5 years time if it cared to"
State does care, and they will put up the money and support that UT has never had in the entire history of their baseball program.
