It amazes me how every loss throws this board into full blown meltdown. We are one game back of the overall SEC lead, but yet I swear most people on here seem to believe our record is sub .300. Losses happen in baseball. Fact. The 1927 Yankees lost 44 games for 17's sake. We're playing with house money right now anyway so be happy we're as good as we are.

My takeaway

You think a select few on this board made less than a 24 on the English portion of the ACT.

I strongly agree with what you said by the way. I hope the momentum wave can carry us through the next few weekends. We have the components to be dangerous in spots. When you have a legit Friday ace and the best hitter in baseball, then you give yourself a chance each weekend.

"most people"

Lets talk about the word MOST...

From what I've read, last few games, MOST are understanding of our situation.

Will some analysis and bitching, go on, Yes.

Such is the life on a SEC sports board.

It has not really been bad.

Hell, one of Ole Miss' best football teams of all time just lost 7 games, including the Egg Bowl by 5 td's.

I ***** one of the most I know but I actually really like and believe in this team.

In fact my argument in why he took those measures last night was basically we've been winning a lot of games. I didn't understand the point because we had been winning. We've won 10 of 12 SEC games which is phenomenal.

I get really into MSU baseball because it's my most favorite thing in the world relating to sports. I know sometimes I get frustrated and complain but not many people like college baseball that I can complain to so I do it to y'all ha.

I think some on this board place coaches in the realm of gods and believe you can't criticize any action without wanting to throw the baby out with the bath water. I haven't had one critical thing to say about Cannizzaro this season. I believe every coach should get that one year. I had no expectations for this team and I have been wildly impressed with what he has been able to do with so many injuries. That being said even Fortune500 CEO's that Bro Bounds sips Cathead with while smoking Monte Cristos and taking in the "hotties" at Emerald Place can make a bone headed decision every once in a while. I could have cared less about winning that game last night. In the long run it was a mid week game. What griped me was USA' Sports Media's cheap shots at our fan's expense. And I seemed to be the only person pissed about that. And the flying termite swarm. Mullen has done plenty of things that aggravated me even though he is the most successful coach we have ever had and I realize that. But as he grows as a head coach those things are fewer and fewer. Cannizzaro will have growing pains too. If he said a message needed to be sent then I will go with that. But what he said about Mangum injuring himself by sliding is ******** though

Coaches deserve honest criticism, but Cann is a freaking mastermind to have us contending for a sec title.

I agree. We've been on a hell of a run for the last month. One loss is no big deal, especially midweek. Win 2 or 3 this weekend, and all will be right with the world again.

This is how I look at it.....

It amazes me how every loss throws this board into full blown meltdown. We are one game back of the overall SEC lead, but yet I swear most people on here seem to believe our record is sub .300. Losses happen in baseball. Fact. The 1927 Yankees lost 44 games for 17's sake. We're playing with house money right now anyway so be happy we're as good as we are.

1.) Meltdown? Eh..not so much. I've seen a fair amount of criticism here about the USA game but I think describing it as a meltdown is a bit of an exaggeration. My opinion and I also respect yours.

2.) This is a message board. That's what people like to do on message boards. Some people anyway. The primary reason this board was established was in response to what is described as 'sunshine pumping' on a certain other board. Plus, people spent time and money to watch this team play and by their coaches own admission, the team gave far less than their best effort. That is worthy of some criticism in my view no matter what your record is.

3.) At least people care. Sometimes too much griping is annoying but you know what, people who do not care don't usually gripe. You never read anything on this board about the dumb move that someone on the golf team did or the boneheaded decision the soccer coach made. Why? Because nobody gives a rats rear end. Ask the women's BB team if they'd rather go back to playing in relative obscurity before 100 spectators or before 5,000+ FANS with a few of those fans busting their coach on the sixpack for not running a man defense.
