Hell of a battle in the last inning against one of the best relievers in the nation.
Go get a win on Tuesday and maybe we will match up again. Best of luck.

It's been a hell of a pitching clinic to watch so far.I’m actually laughing at some of you. The way y’all talk y’all are upset we aren’t up 5-0 already on the #7 team. WTF??
First walk there.

Mississippi State has 744 strikeouts as a staff, we have 528... They have a couple of buzz saw’s. More than likely going to be a double digit strikeout day where timely hits (specifically a HR or two with a man on) and a great performance from Ty are going to be what gets it done.
If we get 18k's against you again.. or anyone. it's hard to beat us. Unless your pitcher does the same
I'm pretty sure we are throwing Bednar out for the game vs y'all. but not certain. He's just better than C Mac is right now I believe.
Sims usually only comes in when we have the lead.
We have stuck out double digit batters in 49 of 61 games.

To whomever said they wanted to come see the stadium, here's a 360 view of the outfield on Sunday.

Now I love Johnnie too. But Vic lifted us up to a higher place than trying with a associate. Also heard not a good interview.Your AD is to blame. The natural choice to replace Vic was on the coaching staff, your AD wanted a big name, picked someone over her head and the person you should have picked is now the head coach at Auburn. The players wanted Johnnie who got a pretty token interview, by all accounts.
The AD's huge fucking ego that MSU is a WBB destination program was the problem. Vic made MSU WBB - the choice to succeed him was his top assistant. See also: Baylor AD picking a mediocre WNBA coach to replace Mulkey under some illusion that Baylor is a WBB destination, not that Mulkey was the draw.
Ill stop on that note. Shoot me a pm or take it the women's basketball page so this doesn't go off topic completely.

All depends on if there's a desire to play and can make the schedule work. We have played in Houston, Frisco, and Arlington tournaments 3of the last 4 years. Last year we played Oregon state as our big team to start the second weekend of the year. Last year we played Tech down in Biloxi for 2 midweek games, after playing them in Frisco in 19. I don't think we are playing in any tournaments next season but believe ya'll are.I really want to go to a game at your new stadium someday. Y'all do baseball atmosphere well there. I've been to Swayze Field, but not State. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a home-and-home someday soon. Pierce certainly likes to schedule aggressively and likes southern programs. It took a couple years but CDC has given him almost free reign to pick out his non-conf. opponents, even 2-game midweek series with more "power conference" type teams.
FWiW-drove by the Disch before a lunch meeting and team was doing a live game simulation. Separate dugouts/uniforms, the whole bit. Obviously teams do this midweek all the time, but watched them for a couple minutes and there was a noticeable energy level to them. And Phil Collins blaring on the PA. Took me a second to make out the song but I thought, "I get why they'd play simulated crowd noise, but why 'In the Air Tonight'?" I'd like to think "Take me Home (to Omaha)" was coming on next.
I believe they leave for Nebraska tomorrow midday. This team is gonna wreck a bitch.
I don't think tech wants to play us again anytime soon though after going I think 5-0 against them over 3 years.

He better. He's that damn good of a coach and a good person. Likely hurts more because what was left turned to an extreme dumpster fire more focused on look at me and social issues. Remains to be seen if can be turned around this coming year.*Makes note to check in with msudawg when Vic wins a NC in Austin.

Likely true. Hard to know what to expect this year.We had the temporary bleachers in the 2018 Super. I think it was just too soon after returning back to capacity to use them this year.

Exactly. There is no reason to add seats that are not sold out for every game. Whether is a standard seat or a club / premium seat.100% agree here. I’m thinking mostly architectural elements that make the place look cool. If any capacity would be added, I think a premium club that faces the field would be rad. May not be a popular opinion, I think it would look badass.
This is what people get mad about at our games with the new stadium, if you don't have a season ticket (all physical seats are sold out with a 10 year payment). So if you don't have a seat, you have to sit in the berm or stand up.

Who am I kidding? The Dark Prince has had a nice little spot reserved for me for quite awhile. This one just gets me a few more reward points.

So Cannizaro is the baseball version of Major. Interesting.
He's back coaching at Holy Cross high school in Nola. Will be interesting if he's ever given another D1 chance.

I think the capacity of DFF is just fine. When it's packed and rowdy for big games, it's plenty intimidating. You can't really do much to the outfield because of that service road between the ballpark and the tennis center. They can't get rid 'service road' for logistics and emergency purposes. The food truck area along LF was cool when they first deployed it, but it's not that unique anymore. The lawn berm behind them is neat for kids, but that whole area needs to be reimagined. The old beer patio along the RF line that I think I singularly kept in business from about 2009-12. That needs to be repurposed and connected with the RF walkways/indoor training center area. The existing concourse underneath the grandstand...not much you can do there other than cosmetically/technologically upgrade it.
Something really interesting that's been discussed is across the RF power alley (behind softball field home plate). Corner of 20th Comal, that empty lot that maybe some of y'all park in...the NW quadrant of that lot. Building out a 1-2 story modest facility (maybe 5k ft.2) to match the style of DFF exterior/new player development center. A small concession area, small souvenir shop that folks walking to/from the game from street parking/north lots would pass by (exterior facade). Inside could also be a small prep kitchen for vendors, player academic/study are for both baseball and softball. Concession/souvenir shop would have the corner orientation to open up windows on gamedays (both baseball and softball). And an elevator bank inside going up to the roof, where a series of "bleacher" or chairback seats would be elevated above the building substantially (no UH engineers on the project). It would be similar to the Wrigley Rooftop seats across Waveland and Sheffield Avenues. A number of seats would be set aside for single game purchase (nobody will want to sit in that heat for a May day game against a mediocre opponent), and then another area up there would be set aside for "hosted event" seating, bring 10-50 clients/friends/etc. and have your own bar/food area up top. Tall tables and another bar area could also be setup for big games with lotsa advanced ticket sales like the RF rooftop deck at Fenway Park. The whole premise would be considered DFF premises for TABC purposes. Once up there, if you are ticketed for that rooftop area, you go one way to your seats. Other folks can walk with food/drink from downstairs across an elevated pedestrian walkway over Comal Street that links up with the RF walkway between the bullpen and the indoor training facility for seating along the 1b/LF line. If done correctly, the sightlines from the NW corner of that intersection are pretty damn good. Beats sitting in overflow bleachers way down the left-field line. People would buy tickets out of the uniqueness of it at first, but you'd have to book events up there at a premium to make the finances work. It wouldn't really function as overflow seating for the handful of sellouts we get per year, but it would cover its nut if---just like Wrigley---people chose to sit out there over the LF/RF line seating because they could stand and socialize and have a full bar behind them. Anyway, I'm not describing it well, but it sounds interesting-though maybe not financially viable. Then again, that dirt field ain't doing much right now.
I saw this topic come up in the other thread, and I recognize the university is doing a good job with the land locked area that is Austin.
The one thing your AD mentioned was bringing in temporary bleachers if needed, well the SR would of been a good time to do that, and if you are willing to sacrifice the food trucks for the series, that is the perfect area to throw up some temporary bleachers from 3b to the lf foul poul.
That's also the first place, that would be the easiest to expand seating and add more premium seating (club level or suites). But going all the way down the LF line would look odd if you didn't balance it on the RF line.. and looks like there is a lot more going on over there.
Concerning the outfield, since it's just a minor service road, it appears you could likely move it closer to the tennis facility and then add some LF seating if a permanent solution was needed. RF... no way with Comal there.
In the end it comes down to support year round, not just 2-3 series a year. A problem even the largest stadiums.

Too bad he became a Mizzou fan after state clowned him for going on Tosh
Mizzou. then USM. now he's back on the home team I guess (he lives in Tuscaloosa) He's just an idiot who was looking for attention to pump up his radio show.

It proved to be the right choice it appears..The only reason I remember any of this was because there was butthurt "Coach of the year" talk for Henderson on the Internet, which was countered with "MSU did not think he was coach of the year as they let him go."
Good times.
Gary has had a rough time since then with his son commuting suicide. But he just landed the head job at Utah.
