This is where the confusion comes from, what makes them different from Tenn? 1 Covid championship (and a while much larger) a stadium that seats about 12k? 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


That’s the thing, renovations are already in progress on the stadium and the player training areas. Capacity is already at 5,500 this year and will be around 8,000. All at the request of Tony V. And also it’s not in Starkville Mississippi.

Tony Vitello didn't build it, but renovated Lindsey Nelson Stadium was Tennessee coach's vision

Starkville Mississippi.


Has always been an attraction for baseball recruits. Before NIL, recruits would come and shut it down during the visit.

Knoxville is a much better place to live than Starkville. Matter of fact, Tennessee is just better overall than Mississippi altogether.

$95 million approved for upgrades to LNS

Tennessee has approved $95+ million for the baseball alone. Money isn’t an issue for Tennessee, and we will spend what we need to stay competive in baseball. They are not spending $95 million on the stadium to just all of sudden let Vitello walk and not continue to be great in baseball. Just get used to it, Tennessee baseball is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Again, this doesn't mean shite to college athletes who want to play sports and experience the college town atmosphere.

You've won 11 of the last 13 games. The bats were cold to start the year but have started to heat up. The pitching is better than last year and Cijntje is a stud. Baseball is very much a momentum game. State looks much better than last year overall but with a tough conference slate coming up it could go either way. You need a good showing these first 3 conference series to continue the momentum and don't lose anymore mid-week games.

LSU fans are just the worst. Anytime a LSU fan says “covid season” in any sport you know they shite the bed in that sport that year.

I don’t know why the OP has such an inferiority complex that he started this thread, but he does. I bet he is French acadian.

And Knoxville is better at both than Starkville and MSU.

Baseball players are often country boys.

UT already outbid LSU to keep Vitello.


If LSU would have wanted Vitello he would be wearing P&G. LSU never offered him and that’s a fact. A call was made to gauge interest but that is as far as it went.
