We were probably there anyway, but..

[57stratdawg]

A win tonight probably locks us into a national seed for the first time in school history. Also, we've never won a SECW championship. Closing in on one of those too.


Hell of a year by Cohen, the staff and these kids.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Fantastic season. I am confident about getting the sweep over Arky, but I would consider it a Lock if Rugb could give us a little of his Reverse Jinx Voodoo Karma!

 

[KurtRambis4]

Could you imagine

where we'd be if we had a coach that knew anything about hitting, or baseball in general?****

 

[57stratdawg]

This season should keep Cohen safe all the way through the offseason**

 

[121Josey]

where we'd be if we had a coach that knew anything about hitting, or baseball in general?****

Like Freezus say, It was all part of a larger plan to go from Preseason Top 10 to bottom of the SEC to national seed.**

ETA: Don't forget baserunning.**

 

[rugbdawg]

It's been a great season that came out of nowhere. Let's finish it strong.

Yeah, I don't know about that*

[CuzDawg]

Actually, we've won a number of SEC west titles. Used to be splattered all along the outfield fence.

Announcers said last night we were the only team, other than A&M and Missouri (newbies), that hadn't won a division title. Obviously, that's since the SEC went to divisions. Do you mean we've won the SEC outright before we got divisions?

State has never won the SEC West since the SEC went to divisions in 1992.

 

[CuzDawg]

That's really not an educated statement by he announcers. What if 10 years from now basketball switched back to divisions and five years into the switch we didn't win one? Thenthe announcers started saying MSU has never won the SECW in basketball?

 

[Big Magee]

Wrong...

State has never won the SEC West since the SEC went to divisions in 1992.

SEC baseball was divided into east and west divisions for many years - I think between 1953 and 1985. MSU won several western division titles. Before the SEC tourney began in '77 the east champ played the west champ in a best 2/3 series to determine the SEC champion. Went to a 4 team SEC tourney in 77 and a 6 team tourney in 87. Don't rely on Jay Perry and Bart Greegory for information.

 

[CuzDawg]

Bingo. Can't wipe all that away.

If you've never finished in first place in the SEC West when it existed - no matter the sport - then you've never won the SEC West. That's like a Big XII team claiming Big XII championships for winning the SWAC or Big 8.

State hasn't won the SEC regular season championship since the expansion in 1992 (23 years), so I don't know what you are complaining about.

 

[CuzDawg]

So our SEC Titles don't count now hat we added teams?

 

[RocketDawg]

Bingo. Can't wipe all that away.

I didn't know that and apparently the announcers didn't either. And one of them should have known (Bart Gregory).

 

[CuzDawg]

We've won the SEC west on numerous occasions as I've stated previously.

 

[00Dawg]

Per the SEC media guide, we've won 9 division championships dating back to 1959.
If you watch Thunder and Lightning, you'll see western division championship banners for 1948 and 1949 as well. Those aren't in the media guide, I guess because "composite standings were kept," but the division champions played a best-of-five series for the title.
Also of note, there were divisions from 1953-1958, but the champions aren't listed, but are noted in the overall results. We won the West in 1953, but lost the championship series.
Bottom line: we have won 12 SEC Western Division titles.

 

[patdog]

We've won several SECW championships. Just none since the SEC expanded in 1990. Still WAY too freaking long.

 

[57stratdawg]

Nothing important happens for 2+ innings. 3-1 after 5.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ark starts with s lead off single. 3rd hit of the game for Ark.

 

[121Josey]

You can count whatever titles you want, but those titles haven't won you an SEC West or SEC Overall championship in the past 23 years. Hang a banner for all I care - oh wait, they took those off the fence.

 

[57stratdawg]

Steals second. Groundout. 1 down. Runner stays at 2.

K. 2 down. Runner st 2 still.

Walk. Two on, two down.

Nothing for State in B6. 3-1 after 6.

Whose history? Your history? Clearly you didn't study history.

 

[patdog]

State won the West in 1984.

Damn right. And several other years prior to then. You can't say we've never won the West because we have. Still no excuse to not have won it since 1992, but for most of that time, other than the McMahon years and the Cohen years, we really weren't even trying.

 

[57stratdawg]

Jesus, what a play from Mangum. Robs a triple to start the 8th.

 

[57stratdawg]

Then back to back Ks.
