Well, that probably goes back to when MSU and LSU were the only schools that gave a damn about college baseball. We State fans have a healthy respect for LSU baseball.

Well, tune in Saturday morning and then tell me how shitty the field looks.

Yes it was the summer, but still, every other stadium I saw this summer their fields were in a lot better condition then Moo State. Hell, Birmingham Southern's field was 5 times better then MSU. Granted it was a turf type field
Pray for the opening kickoff to be run in for a TD. Otherwise, just sit there and try not to let it bother you. It's only really bad when someone is ringing 10" from your head. In that case I would polite ask them to not ring it in your face. Most State fans will comply. However, if there's a jerk trying to piss you off, I'd go find a cop and ask them to intervene.

its called SCOTT field for a reason
Actually...

Named for Don Magruder Scott, an Olympic sprinter and one of the University's first football stars, the 94-year-old historic facility (the nation's second-oldest Division I-A campus football stadium) has undergone four renovation and expansion projects during its history.

I was there this summer with a few basketball recruits and I thought the field looked terrible
The key word here is summer. Look at pictures from the Jackson State game. The field looked phenomenal.
As for the stadium, it needs major work, but the threw some giagantic banners on the the sides, and it looks a lot better.

Fail. Georgia Tech is the 4th oldest D1 stadium. Ahead is Franklin Field (UPenn), Harvard Stadium and Yale Bowl.
Actually, Scott Field is the second oldest on-campus stadium in D-1a.
The irony of an LSU fan lecturing a State fan over fan conduct at a football game is just too delicious.

They also make a pretty sweet sound when a drunk state fan hits somebody in the head with one.
Yes they do.
You should update your maps. From St.Tammany it's four lane interstate or highway the entire drive. Once you get on I-12 headed toward Slidell and I-59, there is literally two stops (stop signs, both on Hwy-45) before you get to campus. It's an easy drive.

The fight song is "Hail Dear Ole State." And yes SEC fans would start whining like little girls if we were string a couple winning seasons together.
A lot of people still carry cowbells into the stadium, however it's not like it was a decade ago.

re: Vote for LSU tailgating

The scenery (except for the douchebags in red chinos) is great, but a feast for Ole Miss fans is a couple platters of Abners chicken fingers and a bag of Doritos. Tailgaiting at the grove is like a church picnic. Tailgaiting at LSU is like a bachelor party combined with Mardi Gras held at a cookoff.

Just depends on how far you would estimate getting to the end of the earth would take, because that is where Starkville is located!!!
...says the poster from Albany, La. [I had to look it up on Google maps, only to realize I'm only 35 miles away.] Starkville is a hell of a lot easier to get to than Fayetteville.

Coming from Mandeville, I always take 59 N to 82. It's Interstate/Highway the entire time, and there's very few slowdowns (ala Jackson and all the stop lights between 55 and the Reservoir). All though there is a sweet little speed trap near Macon.
From my house near the lake to campus is a shade under 4 hours and I don't really speed much.

Actually it has. Seriously. I graduated from MSU in '95, and I can tell you it has changed a lot for the better. There's a new tailgating park at the foot of the stadium. The campus has gone major renovations. The number of bars has doubled since then. They sell cold beer in town. The bars are open till 1am, instead of 12. There are more hotels now. Etc., etc,

As long as keep your drink in a cup and/or don't act like a complete jackass the cops won't hassle you at all.
re: Dereck Dooley next Head Coach at Miss State....
Posted by hailstate on 11/30/08 at 8:59 am to Bobby Moore
Um...no. Our next coach will be paid between $2-2.5 million. No offense to coach Dooley, but we can find a better coach than him.

Mississippi State has some of the biggest bandwagon fans out there. They had maybe 500 fans in the stadium last night.
Say what? This is our 7th losing season in 8 years. There are no bandwagon fans left. They're all gone. LSU has a huge, loyal fanbase, but I encounter tons of Tiger "fans" around the Northshore who've never stepped foot in TS. That's great...I wish we had that at State. But that'll evaporate if LSU ever has an FSU-like downturn.
