We're fine. Our unrealistic expectations that our baseball fanbase has will once again complain all season though.

Definitely had the toughest series of any SEC Team Opening weekend, and we improved every game. Going to be tough, but we'll make a regional easily.

Yep
Southern has been waiting since June for this series. I expected to get swept.

We will struggle early but this team will be good later in the year

Plus USM is really good this year as well.

Great first win of the season. Time to keep up this road trip.

I did not plan on following this team closely till around March or April, I still do not actually. But with all of this drama, it is hard not to get sucked in.

I will be closing off this drama by saying this, I cannot believe this happened. But it is apparent the coach that won in Hattiesburg in June was not the same person we saw in Hattiesburg in February. This might be one of the most embarrassing things Mississippi State Baseball has had happened to it.

I feel good with Henderson this season, at least I know he will actually coach. Feels weird to see him as States coach after seeing him at Kentucky for so long. And I do hope for his sake he is considered for the job if he does well. With the crap he has put up with, he deserves it.

Funny, a week ago we were talking about how in the Big 4 sports, we were all happy with our coaches in probably the first time ever. And then out of complete nowhere. Bam.

State Baseball is bigger than one person. This is a top 10 job, maybe even top 5. No I am not the typical State fan who acts like we are gods in baseball when we have never even won the national championship. But I also understand that is not the biggest thing. Take USC. 12 National Titles, 21 CWS Appearances, but only 1 NCAA Tournament in the past 13 years. They may not even be a top 20 job. I respect the investment, fan support, and commitment, Mississippi State illustrates. Not many programs have it. So we are certainly near the top. But I cannot say we are the best at a sport when we have not even won the freaking thing. And part of that is Polk's fault. Where has he been since 2008? I can tell you one thing, not around Starkville. What an absoulute joke. And it seems like Skip Bertman is at the Box every other weekend. He makes me want to take his name off the stadium. He asked for it after all.

I do not put this on Cohen in the slightest. He thought he would be able to find the next up and comer. He did. No one thought he would let the fame get to his head. In the end it's Andy's fault, not Cohen's.

I am ready to move forward with this. Well, first thing is first. Wrapping up Basketball. I may comment here or there, but see you guys when Basketball Wraps up.
