  1. Swung by Great Heights again yesterday for the 2nd time, @PhatAtUT and the guys are just doing great work there. Will indeed make it a priority to stop there each time I'm in town even if that means less time at Hay Merchant. 

     

     

  2. Thanks again guys. Decided to to do 2 days at the beach instead. Mon/Tues. just gotta figure out what all we want to do. besides relaxing. the wife's a redhead so won't be sitting out tanning for a long period. 

     

    I'm just looking forward to enjoying the beach for the first time in 15 years, I used to live on the gulf coast in MS so miss it so much.

    Unless they just reopened it recently. This place has been closed since Harvey. It was a great location.

    Thanks.. That's the biggest reason why I posted. No clue what's come back since Harvey. 

     

    And the drivings going to be broken up enough to not be in the car more than 4 hours at the max I think. Still making my plan.. 

  4. The Wife and I have a week off work in about 3 weeks (so post Labor Day)  and are doing 2 days in Fredericksburg, a day floating the river , a day in Austin and a day at the beach in the CC area. 

    As of right now, I'm leaning towards Padre Island, but know there are a lot more..Mustang Island, Port Aransas, Whitecap. Not really looking for anything more than maybe some chairs and an umbrella. Might be open to the idea of B&B near the beach since we would likely be spending the day in the area before heading to San Antonio the next morning for breakfast.

    Well.. screw deciding. I've got 2 tv's so gonna give this a go.

    Living Room - Nvidia Shield . Trading in a Chromecast and have a $30gc for Best Buy. Pairing that with a Harmony Elite because I'm tired of playing where's one of my 3 remotes...

    along with a Logitech K400 Plus wireless keyboard. 

    Going to do PS Vue with Philo. Already have netflix. already have 3 free months to Pandora.  

    Bedroom - Roku Ultra. 

    Gonna test out Youtube tv for the trial period and use Philo, to see if the user experience make's me figure out just how important LHN is. 

    Next week, I'm calling ATT and dumping Uverse. If I keep having internet problems. I'll be running to Spectrum also...

     

  6. Damnit... I'm still off the wagon, and need to get back on with you awesome guys. I did one week of keto about a month ago and lost 11lbs and was loving the energy.

    Well Damnit I LOVE craft beer and Red wine. I know a ton of the beer reps or people who work at breweries in DFW and constantly am getting invited to some event going on. It's what broke me the first time and has kept me off. I just gotta tell people no and know missing out on some new beer release isn't the end of the world. 

    Need to get on the scale and see how far back I've fallen and what my new lifetime high is.... 

    Can't start this week.. already got tickets to a beer festival on Saturday. But I don't see anything starting next monday for the next month I shouldn't be able to say no to... 

  7. About ready to "cut the cord" myself. I'm in DFW. Have about 25 channels that are core to what I want to keep, LHN is one of them. Hey...I'm a MSU fan first but gotta keep the wife happy and I enjoy watching y'all play most of the time too...especially football and baseball. 

    Just trying to decide on what option I want to go with..but I've been thinking about and analyzing my options for the better part of a week...


    The leader right now is Playstation Vue Core.But if Youtube TV ever adds LHN or I find another way to access it, I'll go YTTV instead.

    PS Vue Core get's me 22 of the 25 (no A&E, History, or CMT). Then I can add on HBO, Showtime and maybe Epix Hits as I need to. 

    I can fix those 3 missing channels 2 ways. 1)Philo for $16 or 2) Upgrade my phone unlimited plan and get att watch tv for free (no CMT..damn you Broken Skull Ranch). With Option,2 I can get HBO for free also. But it would not have any DVR support for any of the stations...and very limited streaming support options (no Roku support)

    As of now, I'm considering buying a Roku Ultra as my media center device. 

    The other thing I'm considering is the Nvidia Shield instead. It's a LOT more powerful system plus has the ability to save things with 32gb or 500gb (plus microsd)., 

    Or I just found out about the Channel Master Stream+ which has a tv tuner and dvr built in, doesn't support many people apps like playstation vue, youtube, amazon prime or youtube but all can be side-loaded.  While it sounds awesome.. I don't think I need a tv tuner since I don't need an antenna to get my locals unless I want the secondary stations..

    BA has an early top 16 for next year in the form of predicted omaha and super regional losers for next year 2019:(TT to Omaha and Baylor to super regionals from Big XII)

    https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/eight-for-omaha-in-2019/

    Also:

    BA's Unsigned BA 500 Players Headed To College:

    The guys going to Texas:

    220 Bryce Reagan, SS

    Texas

    239 Ty Madden, RHP Texas
    357 Jack Neely, RHP

    Texas

    478

    Mason Bryant, RHP Texas
    487 Coy Cobb, RHP Texas

    For having a new HC, I'll take being mentioned in the top 16 for now.. 

    MSU has 4 guys in the top 500 including 2 in the top 39. As of now #9 Carter Stewart is leaning towards juco for a year instead of coming to State for 3. But not firm yet...Might help if we ever hire a pitching coach...

    But #39 Ginn is starting summer classes this week so he's in.

    Other 2 never were worried about.

    Pretty cool that the AD let himself be filmed deciding between the final 2 candidates.

    Gary?  Indiana?

     

    Well done. I saw your quote in notifications and was like wtf have i missed today catching up at work.... Anyone who listened to the MSU radio broadcasts and Cohen doing color knew there was no chance Gary was getting the job as much as Cohen ripped him for defensive positioning, lack of attacking the strike zone, and lack of effort at catching...

    😊   You once said it was just a matter of Schlossnagle getting on the plane.   😊   j/k,  Respect your comments !

    Why not Gary Henderson ?   Magnificient job from an outsider's view.   Any idea how the player's feel  ?

    Need to watch rooting for Oregon St,  you may get removed from the SEC Frat.    :)

    Some day.. the truth might come out about Schloss... some are still saying Schloss wanted the job and pissed our AD off when Hohn told him we wouldn't name a HC until the team was done playing. So Schloss came home and pulled out.. It's widely reported he was in Omaha trying to get John to reconsider, but John was either pissed about the stunt he pulled or the supposed wife problems he has.  So there is your conspiracy theory. It wouldn't surprise me if FSU gets him next year instead. 

    What this team did this year was amazing as I said. I say it was in spite of Gary. You can't hire him based on that 3 week run. There was a reason he was let go of at Kentucky once John Cohen's players were gone. When you look at our weakness of this season overall, pitching was not good. Hitting was. the hitting coach has been retained. 

    It was a very difficult place to put in. Gary was John's pitching coach at UK. When John came home to MSU. Gary stayed and took over the program. Then he got let go, John brought him in to replace Wes Johnson who left us for Arkansas (and destroyed at least 6 arms during his time here).  So John hires Gary again.. problem is a month later, John retires and becomes the AD. Instead of promoting Gary to HC he goes out and hires Cann. Some viewed that as an odd move considering the timing of the hiring DURING fall practice. But that was the first hint, John wouldnt hire Gary as a HC.  They are close friends with a long history. but we need a Head coach who is a great recruiter (another knock on Henderson) and will take us to OMAHA consistently. It's what the fanbase and John expects.  

    John opened his mouth bigtime during the season about the requirements of the next head coach. Well overall. this is not one many of use are excited about. So we will see how things play out over the next few years. Hell Yall werent pumped about missing out on all of your top 5 picks either. But at least Pierce won a conference championship at both his other stops.. 

    Meanwhile this guy we can't figure out how to say his damn name only finished tied for 3rd in the Big 10 a couple years ago.

    But...but...SEC SEC SEC

    Anyway no that record in Omaha would be great but man...losing in the Finals is so excruciating. 1989, 2004, and 2009 really really hurt even all this time later.

    but but but maybe we arent all the the SEC Homers you think we are... We don't earn a damn thing more than conference pride for Ark winning. And I just don't care for them myself. 

     

  12. Well shit... It went a lot further than anyone on this earth but our players and coaches expected. It was a gut punch to lose to OSU. but that lineup is damn talented and we almost came back in the end again.. Just wasn't in the cards for us. But that's a team and season I won't ever forget.  It's tied for our 2nd best appearance in the CWS with the 1985 team.  I know Yall will yawn, but 2 trips this decade to the cws. 1 to the finals, 1 to the semi-finals, 3 straight years of making the super regional's and now we have the great majority of this team coming back. 

     

    Now the great unknown. 

    The new head coach that will be named is Indiana's Chris Lemonis.  Who is 137–87–2 in 4 years, Has never made the CWS or Super regionals, Never won a conference title or tournament. His claim to fame is he helped McDonnell take Louisville to the CSW 3 times in 8 years.  

    Our hitting coach Jake Gautreau will stay on though. Unknown who the pitching coach will be...

    if we hire an excellent pitching coach, we can possibly make another run to Omaha based on the talent returning.

     

    Oh. and Go Oregon State. screw van horn and the hogs.

  13. So question to the crowd.. if you are Mississippi State. With a coach who has dramatically over achieved this year and is now tied for the 3rd best finish in MSU baseball... and still alive for at least two more games.  

    And now, it's circulating Schloss is in Omaha campaigning for the job, supposedly he pulled his name out because John said he wasn't ready to hire anyone until the season was over...

    Schloss has finished 3rd at the CWS 4 of his 5 times. That's impressive. 

    I'm not sure if I believe it. But It would be hard to say no that resume.

    Him winning continues to make this so awkward.  I think it also hurts them with candidates.

    It's an intriguing thing.. Unless he wins a National Championship and then retires.  He has in a round about way said he would like to keep coaching.. but never publicly come straight out to say it. Noone including John expected this run. We have now reached the final 4 of the CWS. We have only done that twice in our history. 1985 when yall drilled a ball off Gene Morgan's leg and we fell apart.. Then in 2013 when our AD John Cohen took us to the Finals. 

    I don't think we can just replace him anymore without it being akward on the team. My most important thing though is keeping Jake Gautreau. I don't think he is ready to be a head coach yet So he is sure someone we would love to keep on staff instead of losing in getting a new coach. 

    Unless John can somehow still pull one of the top 5 type coaches in America.... I think we keep the cards we have at this time. 

     

  15. I know Horns hate to ever have anything but a Championship. 

    But Damn, have to be somewhat happy with the results of the year.. In year 2 of your new coach. 

    Let him keeping working things out and they will be back in OMAHA next year. 

     

    Great season Horns.

    It’s beginning to look like we’ll be playing State in the finals

    I'd be alright with that... 

     

    It's damn weird to seeing MSU get the right bounces and hit's in the right times... this team is locked in and I'm loving it so much.
