Ray Guy for Mississippi?

Ray Guy was born in Georgia and yes he could qualify. He was a freak of an athlete in multiple sports.
State was 9-2 in 1976 & 1980.
1980 team was elite, featuring a number of players that went on to NFL success. That team also ended Bama’s 28 game overall win streak and 26 SEC win streak.
State in 1999 was 10-2. Two close losses to Bama & Arky. Beat Clemson in the Peach Bowl.
I would have to say those teams above were elite.
No I am not upset about Ole Miss. I have always liked Coach Bianco going all the way back to his playing days at LSU. He is a class act and runs a class program.
What I don’t understand is how he has been treated at Ole Miss over the years and in particular the most recent years by many Rebel faithful who have been ready to run him out of town on the abandoned railroad track that goes North out of town.
Actually I predicted them to win both the Regional and SR. You are guys are playing winning baseball at the right time of the year.
State finished about where I thought we would. I felt at the beginning of the season we were top 15 team and that is what we were.
The fact we beat you four times is not relevant at this point in the season.
And I think the finale will be Ole Miss vs Georgia or Texas. Not sure who will win that one though.
Troy is the only outlier in the group.
The rest are States:
Alabama
Georgia
Mississippi
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Texas
West Virginia

Tough for a first time entrant to win so
that takes out Troy & WV.
Favorites are OM, TX & GA.

Dark horses OK & NC

AL will give good accounting of themselves but IMO are not a threat to win it all.

Not sure who they are playing but the SJ coach was totally POed. Can’t say I blame him either.
Just turned on Saint John’s SR game.
Who are they playing? Most hideous uniforms I have seen this year. Even worse than State’s black uniforms.
They deserve to lose. Ugggghhhh.
So I guess in your opinion all golf courses should be uniform.
No need for the sarcasm. You guys were just a little bit better than us this year. Much props to Georgia. You have the intangibles to win it all.
Heck of a series.
Just wonder if Georgia will have anything left in the tank when they get to Omaha.
They have spent a lot of energy this weekend.
They are the best team in college baseball, though.
As I said yesterday, Georgia is Affirmed and State is Alydar.
Have no fear, our bullpen is very shaky and that is being generous.
Guess we could not expect anything less from these two teams. Going to come down to the wire again.
Why does that it even matter? We are not playing at Dudy Noble.
It was simply a home run. Nothing more, nothing less.
Aoki pitched great but after 100 pitches it is tough for any pitcher to maintain their efficiency.
Possibly but the throw home has to be perfect. He did the right thing by getting the out. Yes giving up the run hurts but a throw just off the mark could have led to a bigger inning for Georgia.
But it does not matter. Georgia is simply the better team. We may make a run eventually but it will not be enough.
Both pitches were outside.

“ 1 more and a quarter of the teams in Omaha will be from the lil ol’ state of AL”

Who had Alabama and Troy on their Omaha Bingo card two weeks ago?
Quote
“The team that won it all in 2022 was talented but not even top 5 in Bianco’s most talented teams. Our best and most talented teams under him haven’t made it to Omaha.

That’s where a lot of the frustration comes from. With all the resources and facilities he has been given it is criminal we’ve only been to Omaha twice since he was hired”


State has had at least six more talented teams than the 2021 team. 1979, 1984, 1985, 1989, 1992, 2016 to name some of them and none of them won a Natty.
But it is the nature of baseball. Weird stuff happens.
