First thing is, I remember Cohen playing most of his sophomore or junior seasons with a broken hand with a small cast on it. The dude is intense and is no puss. Therefore, from time to time, he is going to rub some people the wrong way b/c he doesn't take losing all that well. As far as stupid chants and ****, baseball has always been and always will be a sport where you will find plenty of strange things like that. I played through junior college and for those who didn't play, baseball players are a whole other breed. Especially when they get together. I don't even want to admit to some of the things that I witnessed baseball players do. The most ridiculous behavior that I have witnessed has been by baseball players. So for all of these new olemiss baseball fans, STFU with the whining. Either don't be a baseball fan or accept the fact that you will have to endure silly chants and any other weird **** you may see from opposing baseball teams. Just b/c the rebels are now interested in baseball, don't expect the baseball world to change to suit you. Whiney asses.
Cohen, whiney rebels, and stupid baseball crap.

before this crap ends:
And I do realize that MSU invented college baseball and has dominated the SEC and the nation from that point forward.
Glad that you realize that we invented college baseball and that we dominated the SEC and the nation from that point forward. Now just be worth a **** for 25 years, give or take a few, and you will no longer be new baseball fans you douche bag. I am sick of your cocky asses. I have watched several of your games with your great fans that are so new to baseball they don't even know half of the rules of the game.
I mean damn. Is that a Bulldog on top of this message board or what?rebelrouseri said:
Do other schools fans go to their rivals MB's and get pissed off if something bad is said about their school?
It's just so lame. OM was terrible in baseball throughout the 80's and 90's, thus not that many fans kept up with it. MSU was terrible in baseball this year. Judging by this message board and actual attendance numbers, not too many MSU fans kept up with it. It is pretty simple, nobody likes a loser.

WOOOOOOO WOOOOOOO!!!!
It's just been so long since I heard anyone yell that during the national anthem....

I said actual attendance. LSU last year had a great paid attendance, but if you went to a game there you would notice there wasn't anyone there. Because of the big followings MSU and LSU have built up over the years, they will always have great paid attendance numbers. I guess I can go to an Alabama board now and learn how to be a "good" football fan and then hit up a UK board to learn how to be a "good" basketball fan. It is dumb and it is lame.
I guess I see the point of looking around on another team's board. And I can understand the occasional post. But, being a prolific poster on another team's board just doesn't make any sense to me. It doesn't really bother me or anything. I just don't understand it.
Here is why I say you have discovered baseball recently. In the 70's, 80's and 90's State is packing them in for mid year SEC weekends. The Regionals they were cramming them in. All I heard from my OM buddies and kin was that baseball didn't count. How stupid we were wasting a weekend to go watch a minor sport. Football was all that mattered. They would say that even if State won the CWS, who cares, nobody pays attention to baseball. I would go to Oxford when we played there and there would be 1,500 people there. 1,300 of them State fans.
These same people NOW plan their weekends around OM home baseball games. They talk how the 05 OM team was the best the state has ever seen because they had no idea of some of State's and their own former teams. These same people could not have told you half of OM's starting lineup before Bianco got there. I knew more about OM baseball than they did.
Yet they ALL claim now that THEY have always followed and care about OM baseball, some may not have,they say, but I did. Horseshit.
That's why I'm leery of any OM poster on here saying that, maybe some folks didn't care, but I always did. You were 1 of the special, at most, 200 people that did then. Problem is, 5,000 OM fans claim to be in that 200.
You can say I'm generalizing, but that's every OM fan I grew up with or knew.. I cannot name one that gave a **** about baseball until about 2004. Not one.
OM is doing well now. Good for them. Their fans ought to be into it.
However, Mr. Reb fan, don't come up to me wanting to talk baseball now,after reading baseball for dummies. Not when I tried to talk about it for the prior 20 something years and you told me it didn't matter or count.
And that's all I got to say about that.
Saddawg, out.

My only question, why does it require being a big fan of college baseball to understand baseball in general? I didn't start following Ole Miss baseball until I was in school there, but I had played baseball and followed the MLB for basically my whole life. Just because I wasn't going to Ole Miss games every weekend didn't mean I didn't have a clue about baseball.
I'll agree with you that we have a ton of walk up fans and a ton of fans that never followed Ole Miss baseball before, but that's part of success. The only difference between our two programs is that yours was successful in the 80s and 90s, while ours was bad. Therefore your school made an investment in the program because it was a revenue opportunity. It wasn't a revenue opportunity for us, so we never made an investment. Now, we've had a little success, and we've started making more of an investment in the program.
I don't think that's a bad thing. I'll buy that a ton of our fans just recently discovered Ole Miss baseball, but that doesn't mean that they weren't fans of the sport of baseball before or that they don't know anything about the game.

</p>because there are never any threads on here about who our baseball coach should be or the weekly idiotic thing that Polk did among other things.
Our attendance, or lack thereof, was more of a protest.
I guess you're going to say that your fans were protesting from 1983-2000.
The in game threads on here would be a small discussion between people like you, arrow, cb9, etc that obviously still followed the team closely. The average MSU fan did not keep up with baseball that much at all this year once it became apparent that y'all weren't any good. Our lack of attendance from 83-00 wasn't a protest. It goes back to my point that nobody likes a loser. Kind of the same reasoning why Vaught Hemingway and Scott Field don't sit 100k. I just seriously doubt that once MSU became a yearly contender in basketball, UK fans said wait y'all can't cheer for basketball because y'all didn't follow the team when you sucked and we were really good. It's stupid. When you suck at something, like we did in baseball for about a 30 year stretch, people are going to lose interest. When you start putting a consistently good team on the field, people will start following the team....i.e bandwagon fans. This isn't an OM phenomenon. It's just silly that some MSU fans seem to think that they are entitled to tell OM fans that they can't follow baseball or discuss it because they weren't following it closely back when OM was terrible and MSU was good. Now if one of you will kindly sign my permission slip, I would like to head to Hoover in the morning.
Well, to answer your question, I'm sure that there are a few Ole Miss baseball fans that know baseball- you may be one of them- but the majority of your fans don't. There's not a whole lot you can do about that, it just takes time.RebelBruiser said:
Your second statement is ludicrous.
we reserve the right to act the way we do toward NEW rebel baseball fans b/c we have been good at baseball pretty consistantly for 30 years. Saddawg is exactly right and I have experienced the exact same thing through the years and it grates a persons nerves to have to listen to them play armchair manager after reading baseball for dummies.
Ole Miss fans, the ones that crow (and slur) hotty toddy endlessly, are talking about stupid cheers?
How the $*@+ are you going to pretend to know the level of knowledge that the majority of an entire fanbase possesses? How insanely idiotic would it sound to you if I said, state probably has a few fans that understand football but around 70% of them don't understand the game? This is absolutely foolish.

</p>Sounds like a LOSER talking. Oh that's right, u are one. That's why u are sitting at home complaining about us. Cohen is a big baby, he didn't mention in his own whinning about us giving them some runs with our stupid errors. He lost and now his tail is between his legs.
I'm not saying you don't understand baseball. I was answering the question of why State fans think OM fans have recently discovered COLLEGE or OM baseball. Hell, most everybody played little league. I mean by discover that you started giving a ****. Ya'll didn't give a ****,now you do. A lot of you claim to have always given a ****. I call ********. You didn't even think of it,or pay attention to it until the last 4 or so years. It used to not matter or count, amazingly in the last 4 or 5 years, it all of a sudden does.
RebelRichman said:
</p>My point is that the group of Ole Miss friends that I hang out with who have recently become baseball experts make me laugh because they hardly understand certain parts of the game. The understanding of the game comes not only from playing it while growing up but from being a fan, attending the games, listening to the games, following your team. This is something this group of Ole Miss fans has not done. Bottom line is this, your fans now posses the same amount of ARROGANCE towards baseball that they do towards everything else that they deal with. This is what makes all Ole Miss fans giant douche bags, you understand....
DirtyLopez said:
</p>No arguement there, even though Eli's senior year we only lost one conference game, and that was to the NC LSU Tigers. No other SEC team has only lost one game and not gone. Maybe one of these days we will get there. Surprised u didn't bring up yall's final four. The best we've done is sweet sixteen. But AK will get us where we've never been before. Yall's history of baseball darwfs ours, was just poking at u. We've been to Omaha, and have had some dog gone good teams. But nothing like u dogs have had. U will be back, but not this year. Heck, I'm surprise we're still playing. Thanks for the help dogs. Anyway, just visiting, and love poking at u dogs. HOTTY TODDY and get ready to get your butts beat in football this fall.
How stupid would it be to say, "The average MSU fan did not keep up with baseball that much at all this year once it became apparent that y'all weren't any good" when your basis is that few people on THIS board, of all places, didn't waste much time posting during games?
Pretty stupid, I would say.
Pretty stupid, I would say.
that you can't follow baseball.
What we ARE telling you is don't act like you've been there through thick and thin and that it was always important to you, because it wasn't.
It's the exact same for you in basketball. When you were good, a lot of your fans were all of a sudden huge basketball fans, Provine Posse, etc. and then you started sucking and all of a sudden "We never really cared about basketball anyway."
And the exact same thing will happen in baseball if you start sucking.
We also ARE telling to stop acting like pussies. Especially over a game that you won.</p>

post, but if you have friends that don't understand a sport, that speaks as much to you as it does to them. After all, birds of a feather. Next topic.
No I would base that on the actions of about 20 MSU fans that I am friends with that probably made it to Dudy Noble twice this year when they usually don't miss a weekend. I give up. MSU fans get the trophy for having the most educated baseball fans. Congrats.
