to lose again in a SR or better yet at home in a Regional. Why? Just because the baseball gods are cruel in that way. ...

Three Mississippi schools in the top ten in attendance is awesome!
Credit to Ron Polk who made baseball a big deal at State and the SEC and in the State of Mississippi. Yes Skip had great success at LSU later on but it was Polk who got the conference interested in making baseball a major sport st...

State wins 6-4 over Memphis in a well played game at Memphis. Excellent pitching by State with 13K’s on the night.
For State every game is crucial, especially these OOC games down the stretch. ...

Honorable mention
Jackie Sherrill at State (1991-2000). Even though the last three years (2001-2003) went off the rails,State during the 1990’s was no longer anyone’s Homecoming opponent.
We became very competitive and during the stretch from 1997-2000 were really good and played for the confe...

This was a huge hire in the SEC and in the State of Mississippi. Prior to 1947, State was the better football program. However, from 1947-1973 (And I know he was retired in 1971-72) Ole Miss was 21-2-4 against State.
They won a half of dozen SEC titles and were consiste...

“A terrible day for sure. Part of the reason I am getting so much enjoyment out of your team sucking so badly this year.”
State had the same heartbreak in 1989 as well. That team along with the A&M team were the two best teams in the nation and neither made it out of a Regional. We lost...

I stand corrected then.
We were 8-4 after the bowl game and had a recollection that we were ranked. ...

This year’s LSU team is not bad but it just seems that starting with State three years ago there has been a NC hangover. Not sure there is any particular reason why. It has just happened.
No worries about LSU going forward. They will be fine. ...

State finished ranked in 1981 so our streak would be 1982-1991 (which is still still woeful).
1986 we started 6-1 and were ranked as high as #13. But then we promptly lost our last 4 games to finish 6-5 and obviously unranked and no bowl either. ...

State, LSU, Florida, Arkansas, A&M, USCe, Ole Miss, Vandy, OK, Texas and even Auburn and Alabama and Georgia have been good at baseball for decades at various times.
Tennessee? Not so much, here and there and also the last few years.
Check back with us in 2030 and maybe your statement will h...

“ State needed that sweep. 10-8 in conference play with Vandy, Alabama, Arky and Missouri left. 3 wins gets us in regional.
If we can get 5 wins out of the Alabama/Missouri series and 2 wins out of Vandy/Arky series we finish 17-13 in conference and maybe have a shot at hosting”

“Not sure just how much of our offensive success was contributed to Lebby, but the offense certainly clicked while he was here.”
I hope he will provide us stability at the HC position and our offense can’t be any worse than last year and certainly I hope to see some improvement.

40 years ago Texas’ baseball stadium was the gold standard.
Today it has fallen woefully behind.
I would hope that will change in the next few years…...

State 3

Really need to win this game to complete the sweep. Though I am not confident at all that we can do that. ...

Gary Danielson
Yes, everyone on here hates him because he is blunt (modern day Howard Cosell) but he is a great student of football and he knows his stuff. It is obvious that he takes a great deal time studying the teams that he is covering.
When your team is sucking he calls it like it is and ...
