MSU vs. the SLC this season: 0-3... (SELA swept 2 games from them, and have won 3 or 4 in a row against them the last few years!)
Were the guys in 'awe' of their place, probably a little, yeah. It's always neat to see what these bigger schools have, no question about it. But seeing the 6 national title trophies at Texas lined up as you walk out of their clubhouse door and onto the field at DFF was way more 'awe' inspiring and 'star-striking' moments than anything Starkville had to offer on, or off the field. Heck, it's obvious Ole Miss has even passed them by, and then some, as well as far as facilities go. But as you said, we've played at Mizzou, at Ole Miss, and at Texas this year alone. We've beaten Ole Miss, Mizzou and Wichita State on the road before. And contrary to what the writer, or more importantly their 2-time former SLC Champion head coach thinks, in absolutely no way shape or form was this our 'World Series!' That's just asinine! They werent even ranked in the Top 25, much less in the top 10 like both Ole Miss and Wichita State were when we beat them on the road in the same season. If anything the Texas game would be WAY more close to that with all the native Texans on the team and the fact they are THE winningest program in college baseball history. I guess whatever makes him sleep better at night. What a jerk that guy is!
Btw, as pointed out earlier, we did play, and have been playing without our starting CF and SS who are both still out, and will be out.
And in case any of you were wondering, yes, at one point in BP, I did get closer to reaching 2nd base safely than anyone in their lineup did during the game last night!
