    Nat a bad start to a career.

    Skenes was quoted yesterday and basically said he was the most mature 19 year old he’s ever seen. married, doesn’t cuss or drink, goes to church every Sunday. He’s an easy kid to root for and he’s from Mississippi. Kids need more role models like him so I’m a big fan. guy is a hell of an...

    Konnor Griffin called up for tomorrow's home opener

    Here’s a little side story. His dad is the Belhaven softball coach. They are a top 15 team. They had a doubleheader against a top 10 team that will be huge in determining who will win the conference and host a super regional. obviously he had to be at his sons debut but his team just pulled off...

    State 1878 announced…

    Which is why it won't work.

    State 1878 announced…

    Starting an exclusive message board in 2026 is not exactly the forward thinking we need to keep up. I hope its successful, but a better idea would be to copy Clemson's IPTAY with an $18.78 micro donation. Could have probably raised $500k this weekend. I'd be surprised if this thing ever hits...

    State 1878 announced…

    Interesting. The athletic department has gone from hating the message boards to having their own premium one. And no discount for annual membership is a little weird. This will be a flop. The fans that would even entertain this are already locked into their respective groups, whether paid or free.

    Tracking the Softball Dogs

    Took 2 of 3 against #24 South Carolina and moved down to #14 in the polls. RPI is #14 as well. At 4-5 in the SEC, it doesnt get any easier this week as they travel to #5 Florida. They are going to have to find a way to take 2 of 3 from a team better than they are. You only play 24 conference...

    Rest of the season

    21-9 (2016) is our best conference record in the 30-game conference schedule era. We've won 20 three other times. 1962 we went 14-1-1 for best conference winning percentage in school history. South Carolina had the killer B's (three weekend starters whose name started with B) and went 26-4 in...

    Kevin Fant

    It always made me wonder why you never seen more basketball players and high jumpers in that specialty position. I remember that Dawg's Bite cover as well.

    MSU Men's Tennis

    This one is simple. Sometimes coaches agree in advance to finish things out to give players reps. Sometimes they play until someone hits 4. The later you get into the season, the less likely you will see scores like 5-2, 6-1 or 7-0. I get it - as things get tighter at the end of the season and...

    Kevin Fant

    Kevin Fant got new tires on his truck the summer before the 2002 season (sorry, I said 2001 above). The story is that the tire dealer was a big MSU fan and did not charge him for the tires. He got free tires, but the very same day when his mom found out, she went and paid for the tires. We self...

    Kevin Fant

    The Kevin Fant tire situation was the first time I saw how the internet message board fans (Swan Lake) really were. Some horrible things were said. Thank goodness three years later this place came around. Looking back, it was the first major bad news for MSU of the internet era. We had been to...

    This team is bad friggin arse!

    Baseball is a funny game. I actually think it's the hardest national championship to win. You have to be on for four weekends straight in the postseason, each one gradually tougher. Then you have to avoid the hot team. We were the hot team in '13 and ran into the juggernaut with UCLA. We were...
