More Pressure - USM or OM?

[57stratdawg]

USM is at home, but OM is the bigger brand. Is Bianco’s job still on the line? That has to be a factor too.

 

[Dogpatrol]

Bears as they are compared to us much more than USM.

 

[Dawgbite]

They ain’t firing Bianco. If they win one game this weekend they will extend him and give him a raise so he makes more than Lemonis.

 

[MSUDC11]

It’s Ole Miss by a country mile, IMO.

 

[Cooterpoot]

USM, they've turned this into their World Series. They don't know how to handle a Super.
Hopefully they can win.

 

[57stratdawg]

I think so too

 

[11thEagleFan]

The answer should be USM. Offensively, I can think of at least 10 USM teams that were better than this one. But pitching-wise, this is the best staff we’ve ever had, and they stack up nicely against anyone in the country.

I don’t think we’ll play tight or nervous though. Even after our closer uncharacteristically blew the first game with LSU, the team didn’t seem rattled. I really like this group. And Scott Berry is a calming force. He’s basically the anti-Vitello. So I’ll say Ole Miss.

It’s Ole Miss. they were literally just referred to “Big Brother” to USM during the Arkansas game.

More pressure on USM. Playing at home, this is “their year”, more pressure to win now. Ole Miss is playing with house money. They thought their season was over after Hoover. Pressure on Bianco, but I don’t think that translates to these players. They would have played tight in Coral Cables had that been the case, because Bianco was coaching for his job in the regional. And I’ve heard people in Oxford say he is safe. They think firing a coach with three straight Super trips would limit who they could hire. Omaha, everyone is happy. Two losses, and half the fan base is pissed with the AD’s decision. Go Eagles.

It’ll be more embarrassing to OM because state and OM should be better than southern. But I think there is more pressure on southern. OM has proven under Bianco they are mainstays in a super and year in and out have a shot at Omaha. Not sure southern puts an Omaha type team on the field every year.

 

[tatedog]

So far, the USM crowd seems very nervous/tight and it's translating to the team.

 

[Cooterpoot]

USM looks so tight their a holes are around their necks.

 

[tatedog]

Dave Neal almost creamed himself on that fly ball short of the warning track.

 

[AlSwearengen]

Hattiesburg is so geeked up right now, you would think they were in the CWS finals.

 

[Cooterpoot]

DeLucia is cruising

 

[BossDawg78]

So do we freak out WHEN OM punches their ticket (it's gonna happen)? Or is it cool considering last year? Or what if OM gets hot in Omaha?

 

[tatedog]

Boyd's world says USM has a 3.2% chance of winning it all and Ole Miss has less than a 1% chance of winning it all.

Anyone freaking out about who wins this series should find something else to freak out about.

This is easily the lowest ISR Super (#12 vs #27) which is some food for thought for our Rebel and Eagle friends who criticized the difficulty of our path to winning the CWS.

Yeah that side of the bracket is potentially going to be brutal. Could have Stanford, Oregon State, and Arkansas (or even UNC would be very formidable).

 

[jdbulldog]

Pressure is entirely on USM. UM is playing with house money.

I think I can already predict that you’re going to freak out about it. I certainly don’t want them to win the national title and I’d rather them not make Omaha but I’m not gonna freak out about it.

 

[Cooterpoot]

I've got a better chance of banging Paige Spiranac than either of them have at winning the CWS.

 

[Cooterpoot]

USM close to getting to that ****** pen

 

[tatedog]

Biancollapse brewing?**

How are the Southern Miss fans in the outfield not selling that fair more?

 

[Cooterpoot]

USM pissed away another chance. That's three times in 5 innings.

 

[tatedog]

The guy who blew the train horn was the only USM fan in the stadium trying on the foul ball. Those fans sucked just sitting there.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Wheels on the black and gold short bus are coming off now.

 

[tatedog]

Nugget's lifeless body has more pep than this crowd.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Brett Favre and DHS can't bail them out of this *** whipping.

 

[Cooterpoot]

USM has the worst catcher Ive ever seen. Damn he's bad.

 

[Chris Mannix]

Ole Nuggets ain’t getting off the mat I am afraid.

 

[tatedog]

Any thoughts on Auburn's chances at Oregon State tonight?

They are +190. I'm tempted...

Granted the SEC has sucked in post season play**

 

[PBRME]

OM and it’s not close. To lose a super to little little bother would be almost as bad as it gets.

 

[onewoof]

Ole Miss actually chokes the hardest in Oxford. I'm guessing they roll USM Sunday and go 0 for 2 in Omaha.

Not watching these guys play - Can't stand either of 'em, but you better believe more pressure on OM. They are in the SEC, they have better players and celebrated Coach - who can't seem to get his team to Omaha. The mustard birds are nothing, beyond a few guys who played out of their skull this year.

 

[MSUDC11]

3-0 feels like 10-0 with how putrid USM’s offense has been.
