    So it looks like football ticket sales are, shall we say, lacking?

    No, its not meaningless, especially when you are trying to communicate to your fanbase why they should still believe in what you are doing. It would be meaningless if he was winning because people support winners regardless.

    So only black athletes? Black students are fine to keep going to these universities?

    Interesting resume for us

    Historically, the SEC tourney has had minimal to no impact on your seeding. I think we are where we are. Maybe if we win the whole thing we could move up a few spots but SEC tourney results will not get us a national seed. That ship has sailed.

    SECT Mizzou Game Thread

    Nice 10 run win. We definitely wanted to make sure we didn't lose that one. Pitched our best 2 pitcher in TV and Davis.

    Yea, really only needed to make safe/out calls at home plate.

    Yea, if we get good pitching the bats don't do much. Just the way we play.

    Well duh, if he was winning this wouldn't even be a thread. Its an issue because he's not winning and can't communicate to fans why they should still have hope and believe in his program.

    Tuberville has an NCAA proposal that I think is fair...

    Sports doesn't really work like Econ 101 if you want a competitive framework that keep fans engaged for all teams. That's why all pro sports have salary caps and limited times when players become free agents. Nothing fair in sports about the Yankees or the Lakers or whoever buying up every...

    Blah. Does nothing to stop the all out bidding war on players coming out of HS and current college players. Stops multiple free transfers but that's about the only real problem it addresses. There has to be some type of cap on revenue sharing and NIL that can come from any school (essentially...

    Now who do we pitch tomorrow?

    I don't think we would have pitched TV regardless. He already looks worn down from a heavy workload this season so I don't think we would have pitched him by cutting him a day of rest. NCAA tourney much more important than this SEC tournament.

    Agree, Lebby has ZERO PR skills. Selmon really should send him to a training somewhere to help him.

    So it looks like football ticket sales are, shall we say, lacking?

    Combination of a lot of things. No optimism with the program but also every game is televised in high def, Starkville is remote for a lot of fans and alumni to get to, college football is now played by a bunch of overpaid mercenaries, prices for tickets/hotels/concessions/gas all just keeps...

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

    This is not accurate. Everyone involved with college baseball had us as a preseason Top 8 team in the country. Some had us as high as 3 or 4. This team has a lot of talent and has shown that often but could never pull it all together. I am not going to accept the excuse though that our...

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

    Yep, we had a lot of wtf type moments relative to a catcher not being able to catch a ball that hits him right in the mitt, baserunners making stupid outs on the bases, outfielders not catching an easy fly ball and so on.

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

    You are correct. I thought I had hit the conference tab but apparently did not. But even 6th and 5th in each should make it difficult to finish 8th but more understandable than 3rd. I went back and fixed my earlier post and we still finished higher in every statistical category than we...
