Gotta love college baseball in the North. Vandy is damn good. Do you go to many of the games, SFF? We open up SEC play @ Vandy. Needless to say, I'm a little worried about that series. Mississippi State beat Northwestern State 6-4 today to improve to 5-0. Our RF had a catch that probably should've been #1 on SportsCenter's top ten plays, but college baseball gets next to nothing in tv coverage...

What's up, Crunch? Good to see you around. Thought you fell off the face of the earth.

Beat Akron 11-0 today on a 1 hit shutout. Game was two hours flat. That was fun.

ACC has some really good baseball. FSU, UNC, GT, Miami, Clemson... then there are some pretty bad teams like Duke and WF. I'd think Maryland will be at least respectable. Our five SEC home series this year are going to be amazing - #23 Auburn, #3 Florida, #8 South Carolina (defending national champs), Alabama, and #19 LSU. Gulp.

Yall know I'm in Lets do it

College baseball opens up Friday! Yes. Anyone going to any games? Mississippi State has four games this weekend - 2 vs Akron and 2 vs Lamar. We have 35 home games this season. I plan on going to almost all of them. Also, the NCAA has changed the composition of the bats this season and offense is supposed to be way down, but we'll see. Something interesting to keep an eye on at least.

Soooo has anyone heard about the Toomer's Corner thing at Auburn? WOW

Welcome aboard

I think St. Louis will continue to compete in the NL Central for a long time. As long as you have a mediocre team, you'll probably be in the hunt. It's the worst division in baseball. I just don't see the Cardinals winning a WS anytime soon.

Absolutely it could happen. Winning one WS is tough enough, but I like the direction we're going and with the roster we have I think it's possible to overtake them at some point. I wouldn't count on St. Louis winning any more WS anytime soon. They aren't exactly improving a team that couldn't even crack the playoffs in the pathetic NL Central last season, and if they lose Pujols (highly doubtful) they're really going to struggle.

No, it was in Starkville last year. Like I said, we usually have a good team but not this year - UK should cruise. Our only hope of making the NCAAT is to win the SECT.

Yeah, @ UK in about two weeks. We are way down this year. Usually have a good to really good team but this has been a tough season. College baseball starts in less than three weeks!

Oh and I can't pass up a chance to say... JIMMER! I love this guy. Easily my favorite player in the nation.

Kyle Irving, arguably the best freshman in the country. He's out indefinitely, probably for the season.

Welcome, sir. Nice to have you. I took German 1 during the fall and have always been interested in Germany/Austria... My senior year of high school I became real good friends with a foreign exchange student from Salzburg. We also had a girl from Hamburg so that was cool too. I really would like to go to Germany or Austria (maybe both) within the next few years to visit and see the country.

No justice man... Auburn cheating their way to a national title is really a shame considering that the SEC and NCAA basically turned a blind eye to all of this due to money. Cam Newton is a lying POS, and Nick Fairly is the biggest douche bag I have seen in a long freaking time. I hate everything about that team and school. It'll all be vacated within a few years anyway but I still hate to see those jackasses win it.

Welcome That was quite the SEC beat down yesterday, eh?

If anyone thought for even a split second that the Big Ten might be closing the gap on the SEC, all that was put to rest yesterday when the SEC laid the smack down on them. Mississippi State 52, Michigan 14 Alabama 49, Michigan State 7 (and this was their co-conference champ?) Florida 37, Penn State 24

I watched this one. Maryland was something like 15-30 from the line. Brutal. Looks like yall have a pretty good team though. We've got Appalachian State tonight here. I kind of think we may lose this one. App State is pretty good, and we're without 2 of our 3 best players til January (Dee Bost, Renardo Sidney) and don't have much depth at all. We'll see. I plan on posting in this thread a lot. No worries, Coco.

y228: Honestly, I'm terrified about this game. I have a bad feeling it's going to end up being like the Alabama/Florida game from a couple months back, but if we play like we're capable it could be a tight one. I don't really see any scenario in which we actually win - I simply think Alabama is too talented and playing at Bryant-Denny just makes it ten times tougher. Obviously Mississippi State can run the ball about as good as any team in college football, but Alabama is also really good at stopping the run. That's the main reason I'm worried about how the offense is going to do tomorrow night. We occasionally pass the ball, but Chris Relf isn't all that accurate sometimes. I love the guy and he suits our running offense well, but he will have 2-3 throws a game where we'll have a guy open and he will just sail the ball or shortarm it or something. Relf dropping back to pass can be a little scary at times for State fans. Haha. I don't know if you've seen us play a lot this year, but we're very conservative offensively and don't throw it deep hardly at all. What State has done this year is run the ball very, very well, play tough defense, and don't turn it over. That's been a pretty effective formula for success, but if we get behind tomorrow that doesn't bode well because with a weak passing attack we aren't built to come from behind. Overall I think we have a top three defense in the SEC. Despite what Channing Crowder's racist ass thinks, good white linebackers do exist and Chris White is among the best in the nation. KJ Wright is also fantastic in his own right. The defense has been something we've been able to fall back on - we held Auburn to 17 points which looks more impressive by the week - but my main concern is moving the ball on offense. Our kickoff/punt coverage also scares the crap out of me too. Can't give up the big plays on special teams tomorrow and expect to win. I really hope we can keep it close and give Bama a scare, and it's extremely important to not fall behind by much so we can continue to run our usual offense pounding it out on the ground and not having to try to throw the ball a lot. I'm expecting a pissed off Alabama team tomorrow following the LSU loss last week, but we'll be ready too. Alabama 23, Mississippi State 9 Best of luck to you sir. (We should discuss the Cam Newton saga sometime)
