ffin For Paul by BillF
Lots of posts are saying that taking the series from a top 10 or 12 team is impressive, but Ole Miss has been losing pretty regularly lately. The only thing they've accomplished recently is avoiding the sweep.


Beating a top ranked SEC team 2-3 on the road is always very good. It was good when Skip coached, when Smoke coached and still with PM.

Anyone trying to say otherwise is just showing anti PM bias or their football mentality.

The players did great for two and a half days. I’m not going to try and diminish what they did because of a collapse late today.

I don't see people trying to diminish what the players are doing. I think most of us are pleased with the effort and the fact they haven't quit at all.

The main complaints are with Mainieri and his staff. Most of us aren't especially thrilled with a baseball team that has been trending downward for several years, and that's squarely on the coaches.

This would have been 100% valid about two months ago. However, after the weekend sweeps and falling to where we are in the SEC, you can take that paper crumple it up and toss it in the trash can because that mindset is now expired. The new mindset is that this team needs to win every game at all costs if it wants to sniff post season play. And today was a grand opportunity to take a giant step in that direction. That is what is so bad about the way they lost. They had an 8 run lead and pissed it away. They are literally in "1 game at a time" mode right now. Winning 2 out of 3 would have been a celebration before they managed to go and get swept and was 1-8 at one point in conference play.
