State beat Army 13-7 in West Point. In those days Army was a very good program. That year Pitt was the only other team to beat them they had a 6-6 tie against Notre Dame.
Simpson should have just said “they whipped our a**” and none of this would have occurred.

State with a much needed sweep over South Carolina. Still have a lot work to do to recover from the damage done the last two weekends. But this helps.
Heck of a good Sunday game. Good pitching by both squads and State eeked out a 4-3 win in 11 innings.

Bonus baseball in CoSoCa. State-Scar 3-3 in the tenth. Though we should have already lost. SC had a mental error base running that cost them the potential go ahead run in the eighth.
So here we go.
Part of the problem in our microwave society.
Fans want results yesterday and there is zero patience to give a HC some leeway and riding through a tough season or two.
And with the Wild, Wild West of the transfer portal it is going to only get worse. Lastly the product on the field will steadily diminish as well.

Stone with a tremendous outing today for State
6 IP, 0 Runs, 5 Hits and I think 10K’s.
State up 7-0 in the Seventh.
Let’s see if the bullpen can hold the lead.
Babe McCarthy(1959 & 1962 would have possibly won National Championships had then been allowed to play…both teams finished 24-1 (13-1 SEC) and #3 in the final poll.
Allyn McKeen (65-19 record-1939 to 1948 with the SEC championship in 1941)
Ron Polk (Father of SEC Baseball)
Richard Williams (built State’s basketball program from the ground up in the late 80’s - 90’s culminating in the 1996 Final Four).
Jackie Sherrill (1991-2000) last three years not so much as every thing went south.

What do you mean?
Reese and Frei both hit ropes but just where they were caught. Nothing anti clutch about that.

Not really. Tennessee did not have a hit out of the infield. However the BB and Hit batsman were crucial errors that contributed to them scoring three runs.
Very true. You can add 2016 State to that list. Baseball is very fickle and in a short series anything can happen.
Simple fact of the matter is Georgia played winning baseball against us. We did not necessarily play poorly but GA got the timely hits, played solid defense and pitched it better than we did.
Baseball can humble you in a hurry and we were flying high coming into last Thursday. By Saturday afternoon we had been grounded.
In the long run, I think we will benefit from this weekend. Lesson learned even though it was painful.

State with a 5-3 win over UAB who is #31 in the RPI. Solid mid week win after a humbling weekend.
LSU losing to Bethune Cookman is definitely a “That’s Baseball.” One of Coach Ron Polk’s isms that he spoke many years ago. And is still applicable today.
State did the same thing in 2017. Defeated UCONN to break the streak and then lost to SCAR in the finals. Karma is a *****.

Credit to Georgia. Sometimes you just get outplayed. And they have been the better team this weekend. Simple as that.
Both of them are douche bags…Tit for Tat.
Hate to say it but I will be for UCLA.

Have to give the HP umpire credit. Low outside/Low inside pitch has been a strike every time and well off the black to boot.

Two hole meaning where the second baseman plays. But yes I get your point that on a scorecard it is the four hole…LOL

Don’t understand why State does the stupid shift. And then the pitcher throws a pitch outside to a right hand batter who then just punches a ball through the two hole for a base hit.
