I was able to make a couple of games this weekend, and really enjoyed the atmosphere, but unfortunately, was only able to enjoy yesterday's game. It had been several years since I had been to a game at Dudy Noble, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

MSU has a chance to be special this year, if they find a guy who can give them a chance on Sunday. Y'all seem to be disciplined and talented handling the bat, and there is no apparent weakness 1-9, which is huge (and rare). And gosh damn Hudson and Sexton are good. I mean, I'm talking filthy good. I know a lot of Ole Miss fans are going to say "well, we don't hit well and we helped make them look good, etc etc" and there may be some truth in that.. but I don't know that any team would have hit those two guys this weekend. Ole Miss dumbly ran themselves out of a possible decent 1st inning on Friday, and after that, Hudson was untouchable. I'm no scout, but I know MLB pitching when I see it, and that guy has a chance to be special. And then I'll be damned if Sexton wasn't as good or better on Saturday.. He was pinpointing his changeup in any count, and throwing a wicked curve any time he wanted, and if he can continue to do that, he will be pitching in the majors before too long, as well.

I'm hopeful, but not overly optimistic, that Ole Miss can right the ship, and finish strong. But, I recognize the holes that are there, and without a starter (or two) emerging, we are probably only an average to slightly above average SEC team, at best. With Hudson and Sexton throwing the first two games in any series, State has a chance to contend for a title. Just as an SEC baseball fan, but one who, outside of this weekend, hasn't had a chance to keep up with State this year, I have a couple of questions:
1) do y'all think you have a guy that can step up and give you a chance on Sunday?
2) how is your bullpen? (I sure as hell didn't get to watch it this weekend, thanks to the two aforementioned guys)

I'll take this over

a 6 paragraph argument on why even though he's wrong, he's actually probably right and also smarter than you, any day.

Our midweek starter should probably be moved to Sunday. Our bullpen is shaky at best.

Take that "justification for getting your *** kicked" **** somewhere else. You got your asses handed to you this weekend and this will continue to happen. We gave you the game on Sunday or else you would be 0-6 in your last 2 SEC series.

Have you voted for Oxford today?

You should probably get back to NAFOOM and the heated discussions on acceptable attire or how to slice a tomato. After you vote for Oxford of course.

I honestly have no clue what either one of you are talking about. I'm a member the Spirit Board but have avoided it since Friday, b/c I knew it would be insufferable after losing to State.

I truly meant the compliments about Hudson and Sexton, and intended to engage in an actual baseball conversation. I suppose that was stupid. I had hoped some of you might be in a decent mood considering you just won the series.. My apologies for thinking that. I'll just go back to being a *****, fancy dressing, chandelier hanging in my tent T$UN black bear. Carry on.

Thanks for the compliment. I could have told you it would not be wise to post on here. I'm a dawg through and through for over 35 yrs and have gotten lambasted for comments on here by what are supposed to be fellow dawgs. Some people are just aholes. Do ole miss fans eat their own too?

I appreciate your post. Our lack of Sunday pitching and questions about relief

Are big concerns. We will be lucky to resolve both. If we can stay hot at the plate we have a chance regardless. I think Ole Miss has a quality team but they don't have the starting pitching they usually have and that really limits any team.

Good post and thanks for the props. I was there this weekend as well and you are right, the atmosphere was just a lot of fun.

You can mute the ******** on the board by using the ignore feature. It makes the world a better place.

To me that wasn't a back-handed compliment. I'm not as cynical as most. Thanks for the genuine lauding of our atmosphere & pitchers. As long as you don't become a Sandman or Bruiser, I see no reason to run you off.

It wasn't meant as a back-handed compliment at all. This rivalry has gotten so heated, on both sides, over the last few years, that a lot of us automatically assume the worst about the opposing side.

Let me give you an example - were there a couple of people that were jerks to me at Dudy Noble this weekend? Yeah, there was. But, there was also 1,500 people who completely ignored me, nodded, or even came out and spoke and were friendly. So, I could get on here (granted it wouldn't be a good idea) and try to tell everyone just how awful those MSU fans are b/c a couple of people were jerks. Or, I could recognize that a 750/1 ratio of nice/******* over the weekend aint that bad, and not try to paint every State fan as a jerk. And that goes back and forth and so on and so forth, and some more words here b/c I've seen how much you all love long posts.

Simply wearing seersucker clothing does not make one a fancy dresser. However, jerking off to this picture does make you a *****.
