re: What is the reason for the bad blood with States baseball team?

The starkville jabs started with Bertman and it was all in good fun. Bertman and Polk are friends and respected each other. When Skip started building LSU, State was the gold standard in the conference. We were chasing them. Big intense rivalry, but with mutual respect. Cohen is a fricking arse and has no business in college baseball. Its on State that they hired him, but there is a reason Ron Polk refused to let them put his name on the stadium. Its because he didn't want Cohen hired.
