    Is it just me or do we look like boys among men

    As John Cohen said when he took the job at MSU. "You have to recruit players that fit your playing field" TN has some short fences which results in many HRs - many of those HRs would be just long fly outs at the Dude. MSU has a large field with lots of real estate to cover and that takes...

    Bases loaded. Choke artist at the plate

    DJ and Hines are under tremendous pressure as they see all the scouts sitting behind home plate and realize that their draft status is sliding FAST. They are each losing a lot of signing bonus money every AB. They have probably lost out on several hundred thousand $$ this week. Hines has a...

    What is Dakota Jordan’s average when we need a meaningful hit?

    He hustles in the field and running the bases. Yes, he is young (just a soph) and he will continue to develop in the next few years on someone else's team (making 7 figures) while perfecting his pitch recognition, better base running and better throws from the outfield. He would be a triple...

    How much NIL money does Coastal Carolina have?

    NIL was not legal until July 2021. NIL, along with the transfer portal, was not around the last time Coastal Carolina made it to OMAHA.

    Auburn's head coach Butch Thompson

    Don't look, but Auburn had a 25-27 record in 2021. They were in Omaha in 2019. They had a lot of pitching injuries in 2021 and lost 10 games by one run. This year they have won 10 games by one run. Butch is a good coach and an even better person.

    Tulane parts ways with Jewitt…

    Some have brought up University of Memphis We only see the good side of U Memphis when we play them at Autozone Park. If you go look at their on-campus baseball facilities, you will see that Starkville High School has better facilities. No way Goat goes there.

    OT: 7mm vs 300

    RonPolk, Here is what you need: 1) a gun that will produce at least 1,000 ft-lb of knockdown power at what ever distance you desire to shoot. Anything less is not ethical. 2) a gun that you can accurately shoot. You should be able to get a 6" diameter or smaller group at whatever distance you...

    Any reports from game 1 of Bulldog World Series?

    Sims needs to start so that he can earn a higher draft spot. Relievers don't typically get drafted early (Copps from Arkansas). The difference between a 1st round bonus and a 3rd round bonus can be a couple million $. If Sims can add a 3rd or 4th pitch to go with his fastball and slider - he...

    A few comments about today’s baseball game...

    Derik Jeter, Cal Ripkin type shortstops are as rare as a Michael Jordon. It is not often to find a big athletic middle infielder that are highly effective on the defensive side as well as being highly productive at the plate. Over MSU history, our best defensive middle infielders have...

    Southwest Mississippi Deer Plots

    90 acres of land is not much to manage. I have no clue as to what type of habitat the surrounding lands (food and cover) but your key will be to: 1) place food plots where you can quietly sneak into and sneak out with minimum human contact with to food plot 2) If you do not have adequate...

    How dumb is Memphis for playing Wiseman?

    I was told that Penny paid the recruits mother some $$ for moving expenses a couple of years ago when Penny was a high school coach. Penny then got hired to Coach Univ of Memphis and low and behold the player signed with Memphis. If the rules were different, the kid/recruit would have been a...
