Random comments:
- Smartly threw a bone to the little leprechaun as having good relationships that have opened the doors for recruiting access;
- Said they don't know which keys open which locks (confirming that polk was as good as his word that he would disappear and not lift a finger to help with the transition)
- Said it takes 2 outstanding recruiting classes in a row to compete "at the highest level," an obvious reference to Omaha;
- Said his primary recruiting focus was on this November's signing class, while not ignoring the need for immediate help;
- Said "there's a reason why arms are available at this late date" when trying to find immediate pitching help, inferring that if a kid hasn't been snapped up by now it's not a good sign. Said it was "scary" trying to bring in immediate help this late.
- Said they would "get the kids we have ready to go," and "we'll compete our hearts out" but it was pretty damn obvious to me he was trying to set low expectations for 09 and rightly so.
- Said this is the first year the NCAA put specific limits on team size, and then immediately reminded the hosts that he's "not about attacking the NCAA." The context of his statement was to point out that he's fixing to can some asses to accommodate the 35.
- Said there's 4 coaches on staff (himself included) who at one time or another were recruiting coordinators at D-1. Emphasis on RECRUITING. Advantage: Mississippi State.
- Said one time he beat the **** out of Tommy Raffo with a fungo bat and then bufu'd his girlfriend while Tommy sat crying on the dugout steps. Or maybe I was imagining that part.

listening to the interview...boy was that a complete 180 from listening to polk talk. polk just sits there and gives excuses the whole time as to why we won't be good, why he doesn't have a computer, why he blesses hearts, blah blah blah and cohen's sitting there the whole interview talking about how he's gonna work his butt off to bring the best recruits possible to state and such as like us americans...i think this guy's got a great shot at turning this thing around in the near future (duh)
'If UK can recruit nationally,a top 2-3 class, then there's NO reason why we can't do that at Mississippi State. The things we offer here, fan support, facilities, tradition....There was none of that at Kentucky.
It can be done here, quickly.'
