    Did something happen to Croom?

    My main point is that he had good defenses when factoring in his recruiting results, admittedly helped by Ellis Johnson's efforts.

    Did something happen to Croom?

    Team defense ratings are determined by Yards given up per game (total defense) , not points per game as your stats above show. If using the standard measuring stick of YPG average, State in 2004-2008, finished 8, 8, 7, 5, and 10 in total defense in SEC. Ellis Johnson's defenses were quite good...

    Did something happen to Croom?

    Good take. One thing that can always be said about the Croom era is that we had stout defenses almost always. I still remember Titus Brown and some other great players.

    This sucks regarding recruiting...

    No MULLEN, no way... that guy lost at least three EBs while texting during the game with other schools' Ad's, and having our team totally unprepared.

    Oh well...

    Yall do realize don't you that, even though we have dumped lots more money in baseball, Mississippi's baseball budget is 10 mill plus vs our $7 mill?

    Red Storm Rising

    2007 also. We went down there and went through that regional and advanced to Omaha undefeated. I still remember one of our somewhat average pictures, shutting them down 3 to 0. Justin PIGGOT

    What was the problem with this baseball team?...

    I think it is often overlooked how relatively weak our non-conference schedule was this year, and how it inflated some of our pitching and hitting stats. It included the likes of: Hofstra (3 games), Delaware (3), Lipscomb (3), JSU (1), Alcorn (1), Nicholls (1) and Grambling (1). 24% of our...

    Went back and looked at McKeen's record...

    Y’all check out the 1940 MSU-Ala. game on YouTube. Yes, McKeen was running the single wing, but with immaculate discipline and precision. Amazing to watch. Beat ALA 14-0.

    Went back and looked at McKeen's record...

    We didn't fire Darrel Royal. He voluntarily left to go to Texas.

    Losing 3 to TN still baffles me

    We had 19 strikeouts last night against TX. We still strike out way too much. They are apparently taught the MLB upper cut swing. Let's play real baseball like the first 100 years, and hit line drives, hit and run, advanced runners, etc.

    Different all-time baseball series records, Us vs. Mississippi

    I don't know if anyone else has ever noticed, but I've been wondering this for years. Our all-time record vs. them is about 13 games better against them than they show in their records, ours being an advantage of 59 games (272-213) according to our official records, vs. 46 in their records. I...

    Has it ever been a worse time to be a State fan?

    You obviously missed the late 60's in football. Only 6 wins over four years- 1966 through 1969.
