I'm not sure why this was directed at me, but I'm impressed that you can post on tigerdroppings while steering a lawnmower.

Once again, only fans give a frick about NC's 10+ years ago, not coaches or players. You're username is LSUBaseball, yet you seem to be so oblivious to the current state of affairs. I'm sorry to break it to you, but State has the better coach, soon to be better stadium, and the best fan support in the country with the brighter future. If you can't see this, than I can't help you.


You are correct in a few things as MSU certainly has the coach and momentum as a a program now.

But the fan support and resources still favor LSU, as do the facilities overall. Undoubtedly, LSU will answer with upgrades to at least be on par with MSU.

But, you are 100% wrong in that championships and tradition absolutely DOES matter. That in itself will always make a difference in a recruits eyes. Players understand that there will be "hot" programs at any given time. But they also understand history and support and consistency are more important.

Y'all average roughly 1,000 more fans than us in a city that outpopulates Starkville by over 230,000 people. Y'all have no excuse to not sell out every SEC series.

So? It's comical that you think you've actually achieved anything thus far in the season. You're acting like MSU has arrived. We've played as bad as we can possibly play and are still only 3 games behind ya'll. what does that tell you?

Backtracking, there you go lol. We have like 8 pitchers on our roster and two of them are position players and we're still 3 games ahead of you. What does THAT tell you?

Why argue with a cowbell fan...it's pointless & degrading for LSU fans to be arguing with any of the little leg humpers, about anything...

Yeah, I don't know why I'm engaging in these trivial discussions. I need to let current standings do the talking.

Hey BobLeeDagger:

Got a question for ya!

Do you know if Andy and the other coaches at State have bonuses in their contract when they get players to commit and actually show up to MSU to play for four years!

If not they should it's gotta be almost impossible to get kids to show up for four years in Starkville. "A place with no atmospher, and where the beauty parlor only gives estimates" Stanley "Skip" Bertman!

Thoughts?
Paul Mainieri isn't going anywhere any time soon imho. The head scratcher is the performance of this team with the number of key players who decided to come
back for this season.

I'd throw the bank at the Coastal Carolina coach. He's built a great program over there. He's coming off a national championship and he's turned them into a top 10 team in wins over the last decade. With LSU's resources, he could really be special

Actually y'all average just over 6,000 a game. We average over 10,000 a game. I know math is hard from someone from Mississippi, but it's more like 4,000 a GAME.

Sullivan has had arguabley the most talent in baseball since 2010 and has nothing to show for it.
what in the? he's only got one of the most competitive cws records in the game; 6-9 over 5 appearances since 2010.

this is what's frustrating. mainieri defenders say national championships are unreasonable but then criticize other coaches for not winning them. o'sullivan is definitely in the top 5, maybe the top 2 of college baseball. he's DEFINITELY getting it done at the highest level. mainieri can hardly make it there, much less win a game there.

no state couldn't. not even close.
