You just gotta hate to see it

Memphis has a good shot at being quad 4 by the end of the year. That’ll be a dead cat in the wood pile for OM come hosting selections.
Mississippi was never hosting with or without this game. We just got to make sure they lose at least 2 this weekend.
Hunter Elliot will keep their hopes alive for 4 innings Friday night. The rest of the weekend will be painful for them. Bianco sounded depressed in the post game tonight.
Some may argue its merits but they lose to a 6-16 team and drop two spots. We beat the number 3 team in RPI and stay the same.
Plenty of spots to move down but when you are number six there very few spots to move up.
I mean, they went 1-2 @ Texas and 2-1 v. UK at home so far. I get they don't have a great resume so far and that was a bad loss last night, but are they really in that bad of shape? I mean, I'd bet on state getting 2 out of 3 this weekend, but just looking at their record, I'm not seeing anything to make me think that two wins are almost guaranteed or that a sweep is likely.
I think they're a solid NCAA tournament team. Without our Friday starter, we could very well lose 2 this weekend. I doubt either team sweeps.
We also haven't played any nobodies on the road on their home fields in front of dozens of fans. It can cause a loss of focus.
This team has really only played in front of big to huge crowds so far. The least raucous crowds were in Arlington.
I get that but there are plenty, in fact most of the bad non-con losses in the SEC this season have happened at home. We have been right along with them in previous years. Just not this year so far.
No doubt. Very glad to not have any losses that make you want to break things, knowing how they will weigh on you in late season hosting discussions.
I don't think we win Friday without McPherson. Their Sunday guy has been horrible. We should win that one. To me, that means Saturday decides who wins the series.
I've got confidence in Valencius vs pretty much anyone. And I've got confidence our lineup can hit vs pretty much anyone. I think all 3 will be good games. Agree that Sunday is probably most likely win.
Edit: Certainly not saying we're going to win Friday. But I'm in no way giving up on that game.
My statements were assuming that Valencius is staying on Saturday. Is he moving to Friday?
I would guess so. But I don't know. If he does stay on Saturday, I definitely agree with you.
