So the Rebel’s two back to back top 5 baseball recruiting classes have come to fruitition of success on the field. They have a very good team. In fact, I believe they have a “chance” to win it all this year. Soooo..... how will our fan base react if our hated rivals get there first?
Rebel baseball recruiting= Success
- Thread starter bruiser.sixpack
- Start date
I'll tell them congrats.
As long as LSU doesn't win it, I could care less.
My hate is real

They are getting closer and closer. Let's hope schlos/mcdonnell slam that door closed. Not only that, they are supporting their team better than we are ours. Our next couple of years are big in stemming the tide, but they are closer than we are and that is disconcerting. We need to rally around the new dude and the new coach and turn things around.
Seriously Clark?
You'd rather Mississippi win a natty in baseball than LSU? LSU winning another would have a marginal effect on us at most. Mississippi winning a CWS could/probably would have a huge effect on us going forward.

Where did they get back to back top five recruiting classes? Their 2016 class was top five but their 2017 class was ranked around the 20's and collegiate baseball didn't even have them ranked this year.
I would have rather MSU playing in this game than the rebels. Don’t discount their team just because this is the SEC tourney. It usually has a better 8 teams than the CWS. The SEC Tourney title would mean wayyyyy more to this MSU team than finishing 3rd in a 4 team Regional!***
We won the SEC 2 years ago and have been to 2 straight supers. They have a great team and could definitely win it all. But let's not act like they have passed us by. They are having a great year.
They are crushing LSU in LSU’s 2nd Stadium. I say second only because LSU wins more in Hoover than in Omaha. Not by much though.
This Rebel team has everything it takes. And now that they have Kessinger off SS, their defense is probably better.
They are well ahead of us right now. We won the skirmishes this year. They are winning the wars.
Belittling the SEC Tourney is the most disengenuous thing I have heard to make us feel better about our program.

They are having a great year and have great talent. They are calling this the best era of OM baseball. That being said, their best teams are still getting whipped by us on the diamond. We have great young talent and have more talent coming in next season. Get this coach in the boat and get back to competing for championships
I am not trying to belittle their team. They are great and have a really good chance to win the CWS. My point is that we were saying the same thing about our program being out in front of theirs last season.
Gosh, I don’t even want to think about that being a possibility. I’m just gonna hang out with the crowd waiting for the eventual collapse (aka UF).
Misread the question, Sparky. I was speaking about today's game.....but I guess you are half correct, technically.
I would have been half upset if we had spent all our energy trying to win something that means absolutely nothing.
I didn’t say belittle their team. I said belittle the SEC tourney...simply because we sucked and couldn’t win a single game. Our fans then make it out to be an unimportant event. Really??? How magnanimous of us!
In the words of Ron White: BULL Shiiittt...ta
Pointing out that our most hated rival has passed us in the only sport we have ever had a chance to win a Natty in does not make me a Rebel fan. There are two things I hate more than the Rebels. Satan. And turnip greens.

That was the typical narrative in Oxford until Bianco gave them a spark. All the hot press that State baseball got was blown off as "who cares" by their fans. Unfortunately while Bianco was building, Polk and Templeton were tearing **** down. UM fans suddenly started caring for no other reason than getting the chance to one-up State. It continues today. If OM wins it all in baseball, get ready for misery like you have never seen. Instead of celebrating FOR their team, their fans will be working triple overtime putting their energy directly into harassing State fans. I can even see the t-shirts: "There's only ONE baseball school in Mississippi!", something like that. It will be a direct shot at State whatever it is.

Again, what makes you think they have passed us? During recent times where they are claiming the “Golden years” we have still been to more CWS, won more SECT, gone to more super regionals, and won more Head to Head against them. Are they having a better season than us? Yes. Have we shot ourselves in the foot with recent coaching decisions? Yes. But despite all of our issues, we are still building a $55m stadium that will blow everyone else out of the water, Still bringing in too 10 recruiting class, still going to post season, and Still whipping their asses on the field. And we are about to hire a sitting head coach off of a program that has had more success than both us and OM. So please, what tells you they have passed us as a program?
I'm guessing Ole Miss will draw Texas or Clemson as their paired regional. They won't get past either. Probably 2 of the 3 among USM, Troy, Oklahoma as their 2 and 3 seeds. We likely have a west coast trip in our near future to Stanford or Oregon State.

They increased their SEC tournament championship total by 50% in one day. We haven't done that in 30 years.
Just about everyone on here said it was a pointless tourney for us before it started.... that we were a 2 seed regardless. Turns out everyone was right. We didnt so much as suck as we didnt care nearly as much as lsu did.
Honestly who gives a **** about an sec tourney or division title. Its such a low measuring stick. Theres merit to a sec outright title....but even then its only good if u do what the sec reg season champ should do; make it to omaha. I mean did winning the sec a couple years ago mean much to you after we lost to zona? Didnt to me and id imagine to many others. Id rather come in 9th in sec and make omaha then win it and fall short. So yea.... a measly sec tourney title is ****

Apples and oranges. THIS team, because of circumstances and slowly recovering TJ surgeries, and two more pitchers getting injured, would gain more from a long run to an SEC championship than 1-2 or 2 and Q in a Regional at a National Seeds park. Now, if the rest helped, and THIS team wins the Tallahassee Regional, that certainly means more, experience wise. But belittling a Championship in the Toughest Conference is sour grapes on your part.
As Engie always says though: “Let’s see how it plays out.”

Baseball is a great sport to cheat in.
The NCAA has proven over and over it doesn't give a **** about policing it.
But I highly doubt we are cheating. Both programs, despite being behind from the beginning because of scholarship numbers, have enough to offer without cheating.
