What would happen if

players thanking fans ( and getting plenty of food) after elimination game. Hats off to them. They played as hard as any team could.
In a program that’s about stability and tradition Jake Mangum has had 4 different head coaches in his 4 years. Through that he has been a constant rock and leader for MSU. Congratulations

Don’t underestimate the amount of work that went in to this. Few play as hard as this dude. Congratulations

One of the top players to ever wear maroon and white!!!
The field condition after all the rain was incredible. Not one time did you see water splash in the outfield. No slippage anywhere! (Is slippage a word 🤷♂️)
One of the best regionals and super regionals I can remember!! Congratulations to

Not worried about these guys, adversity can pull a group together. Sometimes all you have is the man next to you. Good luck on the road boys. Go get ‘em!!⚾️💪⚾️
Goodbye Starkville and more importantly THANK YOU. The most special place... The reason it’s so special is the amazing people that help you grow as a person and are always there for you. Man time flies... What a ride it was... HAIL STATE FOREVER.

There’s nothing on this planet that can live up to this feeling. Especially when it 2 outs and 2 strikes in the last inning. You feel like you can throw a ball through a brick wall. I miss that.

True words here. Highly emotional play late in a tight game. Umpires on the field, coaches and 98% of the players handled this perfectly. The ejections had to made by someone that had zero experience on a sports field. Suspended players jogging in from their position.
Nah just throw it harder that works. After spending 3 weeks in the cape cod league this summer I see the problem. These kids have zero guidance in college. No can teaches pitch to contact, most of them throw 96 but throw 78% sliders. It’s mind numbing 🤯
Love this. One of the best things MSU does. Just wish they had done it back in my day. Although I guess the billboard would have been in black and white 🤷♂️.
The inside corner strike to right handed hitters was 3-4 balls off the plate. Guy with that kind of slider you’re going to get dominated. Atrocious strike zone.
The NCAA suspended Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello for four games for bumping into an umpire in 2022. It will be interesting to see if anything comes from this with home plate Morris Hodges after he bumped into Hines. Completely uncalled for. He should absolutely be suspended.

⚡️⚡️ 13 runs scored ⚾️⚾️💪💪💪 but the bullpen was lights out over last 5 2/3. That’s what wins in postseason baseball. Games will be won and lost in the pen!!
Pitching to miss barrels leads to high intensity high pitch count outings, low innings = blow outs. You see a kid on twitter repost making a hitter look stupid on a swing but gives up 5 in 2 innings. We are putting importance on the wrong thing.
Great job

or any team shouldn’t be punished for a midweek game in may. All this is going to do is hurt the non power 5 schools going forward.
A note I’ve noodled on for a bit. State kept their final midweek scheduled & it dropped them 3 RPI spots. They’re likely 3-5 away from hosting.
The committee cautioned against canceling but if RPI is the sole metric that holds them back do schools ignore any warnings in 2025?
