Cohen wasn't a failure at his former coaching stop and had successful years besides the big run. Bad comparison. But hey, there's nothing like Van Horn!!!

The guy whose school hasn't won a NC since 1941 keeps trying to convince us page after page that his baseball team is gonna be the next powerhouse for decades to come. Dude, why not just relax and enjoy your teams moment in the sun? Believe it or not most of us are actually happy for ya'll and are pulling for the bulldogs to take home their first Championship since the beginning of WWII. No reason to be stressing out on a message board and acting all insecure.


Remember them claiming that Mullen was going "no where but up" with the program, Gator Bowls would be a bad year, losing bowl games would never happen, and they "would never lose to that school again"?

They are the reason they can't have nice things, own worst enemy.

I'm not trying to "convince you" of anything --
I'm simply putting my thoughts on the record.

It's either going to be where I can bump the shite out of it like I'm going to do practically every preseason baseball thread on the rant once our run is over -- where OUR thoughts were consistently shat on by Arky and LSU fans RUNNING to every thread to tell us how irrelevant we are(not much different than this one). Or you'll have some great bumping material yourself. Either way...

That's almost as good of story as Richardson's magic and 40 MINNNNUTESSSS of HEYLLLLLL coming back to Arkiesaw!!! WOOOO! Mike Anderson! Full circle back to where it began with Richardson's pretege! Or all the shite talking we heard about a preseason #1 baseball ranking that translated to nothing. Out with a whimper on the road to a first time host.

An Arkansas fan -- especially your dumb arse -- trying to tell us about unreasonable expectations -- or "being our own worst enemy" is truly hilarious.

It's baseball dude, a 2-game slump could hit at anytime.

Cohen's doing a fine job. But arguing his legacy in the vacuum of State's last 7 games is high comedy, and is the reason you aren't taken seriously. If he was half as as great as your LSU-inferiority complex thinks he is, you wouldn't need a 13-page thread to try to convince us of it.

Conference titles don't matter, its all about "sweet16s" and "final fours".

Gold coming from an LSU fan.

So, does that tarnish Skips legacy for you -- since it was littered with week-long(which is actually month-long) hot streaks?

Yet it basically never did for the coach that BUILT you into the powerhouse you obviously think you still are. Skip went 2-Q ONE time in eleven trips to Omaha.

I'm arguing that it's the beginning of his legacy. This is the first fully rebuilt/restocked roster he's had in his time at MSU. That's why we said "We're back" in the preseason -- which we were mocked for. So, yes -- I'm enjoying being the one still laughing.

Once again -- I'm not trying to CONVINCE you of anything. I'm putting it out there on the record -- and I fully intend to bump the shite out of it in the future. Your coach and team has been weighed and measured. Be sure to let me know when I'm wrong...

6 titles > 0, brah.

To date, State's biggest accomplishment is being 1 of 5 teams remaining in the CWS

Skip was 1 of a kind. PM is no Skip. Cohen is definitely no Skip.

Isn't this like his 6th year?

You say that every year. In every sport. I can at least admire State fans for their eternal optimism.

State will never be LSU - learn to live with it and it will be easier.

Are you SERIOUSLY trying to argue that Nebraska was not a much superior baseball situation to the UK situation that John Cohen walked into? The same Nebraska that had only had 2 losing seasons in the 20 years prior?

You're on the verge of sad right now.

I'm not sure whether to feel sorry for you or to laugh at you.

And Skip was no Skip through the first 7 years was he? Exactly.

5th -- meaning he's now had 4 recruiting classes on campus and one more signed.

He inherited TWO signees from Polk when he got here -- so yeah, that class was wasted. The first class was very JUCO-heavy to try to turn it quickly -- which almost got us to Omaha through the eventual national runner ups in Gainesville. We've essentially got 3 classes on campus right now -- only the freshman class of which actually signed AFTER we'd started to turn it around.

Link? Oh, that's right -- it's bullshite. I never "claimed" a damn thing in any other sport in any preseason.

And in 1985, LSU would never be Mississippi State. One great coaching hire changes everything. Time will tell...

I guess that's the difference in the programs. I can hang my hat on shite that has, ya know, actually happened. State fans have to hang their hat on what they hope will happen in the future.

In the meantime, enjoy that empty trophy case and your raging hard-on for all things LSU, little bro.

True -- you probably weren't even there in the "rise of LSU" were you? I remember what it was like BEFORE and AS it happened. Just keep reading about it on the internet and thinking you know something about it.

Be sure to keep yours clean and well-kept -- you won't be adding any more to it under this regime at LSU. Paul Mainieri = (an interested version of) Ron Polk who got lucky with what he inherited. Anotherwords, the type of guy who can arguably the most talented team in college baseball history and manage to lose in Omaha...
