What are your thoughts for the upcoming 2018-19 year in sports? I think we are looking at possibly the greatest year ever overall? Weakness? I’m not seeing much! Maybe a slight backup in Women’s b-ball. I love where we are as a school! What say you?

Serious predictions for football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball and softball? I’m embarrassed what I’m thinking!

We have no proven corners, still have 3 guys in the NBA draft, have no proven scorers in wbb, and no idea what we have in baseball...our frisbee golf team is the **** though

I'm predicting the Indians are stirring.

10-3 with a good bowl win for football
R32 exit in basketball (both teams)
Regional host in baseball

Football - possible flirting with SEC West Championship until late in season.

Basketball - NCAA Tourney

Women's Basketball - Sweet 16

Baseball - n/a

I have a hard time seeing anything positive with the baseball team at this point.. I just think it's a complete reboot for the new coach. It will not take long with the right guy though.

Yep, I'm concerned baseball will not be a quick fix. We should definitely be better offensively next year but the rotation will likely all be gone and there seems to be very little young pitching coming up to fill the void.

In 2015, the baseball team won 24 games and only 8 conference games. The very next year we won the sec for the first time in nearly 30 years. I’m not predicting that will happen again but I think you guys are being a little dramatic about the baseball program. There are several freshmen that are playing that have talent.

I think of the Big 4, three will be Top 20 teams and I have no idea on baseball.

I think we'd be a helluva lot better with a coach that could motivate the team just a little. Not sure if Henderson is doing that or not, but from what I've seen it seems like he's just riding the clock, so to speak. Long story short, I think a new coach with a little enthusiasm could turn the baseball team around pretty quick.

As far as football, I'm seeing an 7-win season at worst, but the potential is there for this year to be pretty special. With basketball I'm expecting a NCAA tourney appearance for the men and a deep tourney run for the women.

In other words, I'm pretty optimistic. All the pieces APPEAR to be in place for above-average seasons in everything. However, never forget that this is Mississippi State we're talking about here.

Who's gonna hit the ball next year, anybody on this years team? Doesn't look like it.
Who's gonna throw the ball next year? This team can't bunt when it needs to, they make way too many base running errors. With a whole new coaching staff and getting rid of the black uniforms, I hope we finishing respectably above .500

Rooker went from a .257 hitter with 19 hits and 2 home runs his freshman year (20 starts and 34 games played) to .324 wth 66 hits and 11 home runs his sophomore year.

Jacob Robson went from a .068 hitter his freshman year to a .324 hitter his sophomore year.

Renfroe went from a .252 hitter with 4 home runs as a sophomore to a .344 hitter with 16 home runs as a junior.

People typically improve greatly from their freshman year. But to answer your question, I feel like Allen, Hatcher and westburg will all be guys who take a big step forward next year.

We got beat tonight by a mid week Conf USA pitcher. We got 3 hits in a loss to a Midland Conference mid week pitcher at Nichols St. We got 5 hits against SWAC conference powerhouse Texas Southern. Out of our top 13 hitters 2 (two) are above .300 then it drops over 30 points to the next guy. 7 of the top 13 are below .250!

Mother 17 the Dead Indians! Joe MO doesn’t give a damn. 11-2 and a New Years 6 Bowl Win. Both Basketball teams will make Sweet 16. Baseball is dead to me until I see who we hire.

Just stop. Now.
