The dude has always had that kind of weirdness about it, and the new one even more so. Cram a ton of people in the outfield and on grass berms or standing room only areas…. Only for the actual chair backs to be 50% capacity for about 90% of home games.



A lot of those in the Left Field Lounge have chairback season tickets.

Polk not winning a national title when he had Clark and Palmeiro is insane


And Polk had two other players on that team who were MLB All-Stars, Brantley and Thigpen. Thigpen held the MLB season saves record for several years.


My friend at State and I beat Thigpen and Gator Theisen (second baseman) in pool one night. My claim to fame.

How many kids from good families do you think there are to go around. What do you think the ratio is out there?


No. There always have been plenty of good kids not from our definition of "good families". Plenty over the years that chose an in-state school over bigger offers due to loyalty to the state and their neighbors. Or chose a bigger school and worked their butts off and waited their turn to start.

Even the good kids now can be influenced/corrupted by the money tossed around.
Find a rating system that has the B1G over the SEC this year. So far every one I have seen has the SEC #1.

I must be the only person that does not care about the light show. Give me chair seats and cup holders for every seat, and NO kickoffs before 6 pm until October.


A lot of the LED flashing is annoying. At a Bama game I went to this year the LED lights going in sync with We Will Rock You was really cool. Bathing the entire stadium in a color is cool, too. The rest I could do without.

The most annoying thing about LED lights have been the State posters talking like not having them is why we have lost the past two seasons.

Welcome to 2015. That, and it was announced today your local airport is going to pick up a direct flight to Dallas. Starkville might finally be out of the Reconstruction era.


The downturn is new. From 2012-2022 State was 6th in the SEC in wins. Then our coach died, and we have been scrambling since.

Hopefully Lebby puts us back on the winning track..

Seems like all the money is in the north and history is repeating itself. Alabama is the only school with deep pockets and it's the most racist state not named Mississippi.


So how did last year's winner do this year?
A team in the playoffs could recruit a couple stars late to help them win it

So three times in the history of the damn university have we had a winning football season followed by an NCAA Tournament.


Weirdly one of those we were the only team to go to a bowl game, the NCAAs in basketball and something like the Supers or CWS in baseball.

Really like the baby blue with nearly all white.


That would be the best combo with the powder blue. I tend to like anyone's all-white's. Powder blue does seem to go well with OM's red. Not that I will admit to liking any of them. :)

I really really do not like the electric blue helmets with the powder blue jerseys. Something about seeing one then the other and going back and forth is literally nauseating.

While on the subject, I don't like OM baseball's pajama look with all powder blue.

I like Penn State's and Bama's plainer unis. Disagree with State fans who want flashier unis with stripes everywhere.

Don't forget their chrysanthemum helmet decals


I thought I was the only one who didn't like the tiger on the LSU helmets. Of course, there is a lot of winning history with that helmet, and LSU fans love it. But I always thought the tiger is a mess. The flower thing is good.

Wait. Then State gets to count disc golf, debate, and weather forecasting national championships.

You don't know what the frick you are talking about
Penn State has a better offense than Georgia, so the game will not be anything like ND-UGA.

Penn State by 10.

What rules did they bend?
