I’m changing my stance on situational DEI.

This is amazing!

They just keep investing all that money into baseball and not the actual money maker sports

It’s a great hire, don’t get me wrong. But baseball is the last sport they should be spending big money in

I still think you're smoking crack. We make money on baseball. I'm sure MSU does too.

Last week it was “state is broke and Starkville sucks there’s no way they pull this off” and now here we are.

Worry about yourself big hoss. If what you espouse to believe is something you actually believe, you should be poppin bottles tonight, but you aren’t.

The "last sport they should spend money on" is women's basketball. It's the biggest budget drain in most athletic departments.

I mean, I am. Y’all can celebrate while you are still the only SEC program without an indoor football practice facility and a very aged basketball arena.

Baseball is a fun sport to watch and this is a great hire. But it’s a bad investment when compared to everything else your AD needs.

State has made some impressive hires recently. Mike Leach for football, Ben Howland for basketball, and Brian O'Connor for baseball. Those are really big names in their respective sports.

I sure see him in a ton of baseball threads for it to be something he truly doesn’t think money should be spent on. Seems like he says a lot of things for shock value.

The state of Mississippi alone is projected to bring in 25 million dollars this weekend from yall and Southern hosting.
