He said he will take State out of his will and he will demand that his name be taken off Polk-Dement Stadium "until (Byrne) gets fired or somebody runs him off."</p>
Interestingly, Byrne couldn't do that even he wanted. It would take an act of the state College Board to change the name of the stadium that got its name because of a $1 million gift from the family of the late Gordon DeMent of Indianola. Ironically, Dement, a huge Mississippi State baseball fan, was a great admirer of Polk.</p>
