Instead of playing useless teams like JSU & Alcorn, why not play ECCC & PRCC instead- since they are better at baseball?

You’ve personally dodged the entire thread- aside from name calling. No one- not you or anyone else has dropped a single factual, evidence based rebuttal showing that dropping SWAC games would hurt our RPI. In fact, the opposite keeps getting reinforced- that SWAC opponents are low RPI drags that tank SOS even when you win big anyway. Those midweek guarantee games give negligible or negative RPI value- So swapping them out loses almost nothing measurable on paper. So who cares that the JUCO swaps wouldn’t count as an official game since they wouldn’t ding the RPI anyways. In return they wouod provide better competition- Real development reps for midweek arms/bullpen- Better excitement and instate recruiting analysis- And same payout structure money staying in MS.

What are the downsides- with evidence?

If nothing, then the “point” stands strong, and mocking it just highlights you’ve got nothing substantive.

PS- your “mock until they retreat or get banned” strategy is starting to look like the real problem here- a problem that should be banned.
Why not just play some high school teams? I’m sure a couple years back Madison central would have beaten every juco team in the state.

I played juco baseball and had fall ball against some D1 schools. It’s pretty common. But it’s totally different than playing them during an actual season. At least 1/3 of the guys that were on a D1 team in the fall ended up not actually making the spring squad. It’s not an apples to apples comparison. The D1 teams are just trying to play games against someone they won’t play in the spring and the juco teams are scouting players that won’t make the spring team.

You’re correct playing swac is not helpful for the RPI at all. But by seasons end, we will have played probably a top 15 strength of schedule and if we win enough the rpi will take care of itself. It always does on the sec.

I don't think there are any examples of a D1 team playing a JUCO team in a regular-season real game (i.e., not a fall exhibition where they go 16 innings and get everyone some at bats and innings) in the 2020s. Please correct me if I'm wrong, or edit your post that claims "Others do it around the country."

Yall are entertaining a guy the mods have told you is a troll
You’ve also personally dodged the entire thread- aside from name calling in both your comments. Neither you or your friend SheMateMe have dropped a single factual, evidence based rebuttal showing that dropping SWAC games would hurt our RPI. Or that even replacing them with ECCC or PRCC would be worse or a bad idea.

If nothing, and just name calling is all you have- it just shows youve got nothing of substance to add- and that you are actually the troll.

In fairness this guy never answered my question. So, I do find it hypocritical that he keeps calling out people for not engaging his points. Just saying.

He lives in his own world of logic and rules. Apply standards to others you never expect of yourself. Rinse. Repeat.

It doesn't work in the real world, but they can pretend it does here in InterWebLand.

Why waste time playing those two swac schools? It’s a complete waste of time. EMCC and PRCC both are better and would beat those swac schools. It would still be instate so we’d still be paying out and wasting money to an instate school still at least. It would be a great recruiting evaluation opportunity for us. It would help those two recruit and bring in even more talent knowing we’re on their schedule every year, and it’s be a great experience for the kids on those two teams. Why don’t we do this instead of playing those inferior swac schools? What would be the downsides to doing this?
Were you born an idiot? Or has it been an acquired taste? Between takes like this and your Will Rogers alter that give football takes diametrically opposed to each other, you appear to have some serious mental issues

Just like SheHateMe and Cooterpooper, you personally dodged the entire thread- aside from name calling. Or do you have a decent mature rebuttal showing that dropping SWAC games would hurt our RPI? Or what about replacing them with ECCC or PRCC- would that be worse or a bad idea?

Well I guess I can see why you were banned. Not because I dislike you- but because you’ve proven, page after page, that you have nothing to offer except disruptive personal attacks.
You’ve proven page after page you are a moron and a troll. So….?
