I'll never EVER again have expectations or get my hopes up for MSU football.

Whatever they do the rest of this season, next season, or 10 seasons from now. I won't get my hopes up for.

I will always root for the Bulldogs and watch every game but I won't expect anything out of them so I won't have to feel the way I have for much of the last 30 years.

Starting Sunday, September 30th 2018, all my expectations are going towards my 1st love and a sport we CAN be and HAVE been highly successful at - baseball.

THIS.

I was like this for years. Then this year, I let my guard down, started believing the hype. I am cured now.

Yeah I’m usually a very optimistic fan and always look for positives. But this has done me in. We spent all off season getting excited and having high hopes and this has just wrecked me. I’m just going to think 7-5 every preseason and then let the team prove me differently.

For 10 years, we had been frustrated at the media for picking us 6th in the West every single season. This year that FINALLY changes and we pull this ****. Barring a miraculous turnaround, we are about to be back to square one with everyone’s perception of the program, from the media, to recruits, and to the fans. And with what was expected to be a rebuilding year on defense coming up in 2019. This sucks.

Too bad our best baseball coach ever got tired of coaching baseball. We WILL ALWAYS BE...MISSISSIPPI STATE.

My father said almost those exact words to me around 1993. I finally arrived there myself around 2001. My youngest, a tenth grader, is just getting his first dose. All he remembers is bowl games and winning seasons. I told him welcome to Bulldog fandom last week after U.K. I likely should have DHS called on me for bringing him up an MSU fan.

We won't be in baseball......

We've got a new coaching staff that is STRONG (top to bottom-pitching, hitting, recruiting), a team that returns a lot from our CWS team from last year and some solid freshman coming in + the pitching staff should be improved and the new Dude will be completed for Opening Day (upper deck, suites, etc.).

The Dawgs could very well be back in Omaha next season.

We're in solid shape going forward in baseball.

Is Paul Manieri still alive? Yes? Baseball not back.

Maybe it’s time for someone to make a video “How to Talk to Your Kids About Mississippi State Football”

None. I have zero 17'ing expectations going forward. I'm just going to sit back, watch every other 17ing team win and go to bowls, and realize that we're 17ing Mississippi State, the school that won't hire a 17ing coach that wants more than an 17ing good paycheck, that ensures that we'll always be a 17ing also-ran, wanna-be **** show.
