The most frustrating thing about this baseball situation

[OG Goat Holder]

You’re completely missing the point. Selmon and the “higher ups” aren’t going to be judged on the baseball program. Selmon’s tenure will depend on the success of Jeff Lebby and our football program’s success during this new NIL/expanded playoff format. That’s pretty much it. Sure, he also needs to do his best to keep momentum going with men’s basketball.

This is right, as it is with any athletic department. However, with a program like ours, baseball does in fact take on a bigger role.

John Cohen was leading the athletic department when MSU won the school’s only national championship and yet his name is tarnished for how he handled the football program while he was here. He did his best to try and undermine the two revenue and ‘important’ sports at an SEC institution (football & MBB) while his dumbass tried his best to elevate baseball as the prominent sport. (For example, when the NIL began he only started an NIL fundraising initiative for baseball). Well on one hand you can look at like we completely sold our for that national championship, but we sacrificed other sports like football, where we are still trying to pick up the pieces from the mess he left.

This is not. The mess was left by all who were involved in the hiring of Arnett. The football program was in good shape before then, and Cohen hired Jans. You are wrong.

Point is, our baseball fans can get all emotional and say “the higher ups don’t know what they’re doing!!” about the athletic department not doing this or that, or firing Lemonis, but ultimately MSU baseball is a top 10 program and will make a good hire when the time comes. Dudy Noble will continue to set record crowds and the fanbase will show up, it’s a part of the dna of who we are. Just don’t mistake any meaningful legacies or athletic department personnel being tied to the success of baseball because 1) we’ve built facilities and made our investment in the baseball program, it’s not going to fade away 2) it’s just not as important to the success of the athletic department as our fanbase wants it to be. 3) a simple question you need to ask yourself is in 3 years if football is thriving and baseball is suffering will Selmon have a job? Undoubtedly, yes. If it’s the opposite, will he? That’s a tougher question to answer

This has been proven by the way our mouth breathers treated Cohen. But baseball is still important, and the people like you who don't realize that, contribute to the problems with our athletic department. Ya'll want to shlt on the one program that has brought us success, and chase the dog tail of everybody else. It's really unbelievable.

Nah man, actually the self righteous baseball dorks like yourself are the problem.

The decision not to fire him pretty much showed me that our higher ups have no 17’n clue what they are doing.

Kennum needs to stay the frick out of athletics. His hands are all over this. He fricked baseball up just like he did football

You can still sit in the LFL and touch yourself with the rest of the baseball bros

What's w/ the hate for LFL dwellers? Do you also hate on Scoreboard Club, Floyd Wade Club Level and Endzone Club seating holders at Davis Wade or to the people in the new Club Level at the Hump?
