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..

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.

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...

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 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.

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.

Don't care to try and get some revenge against us??

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.

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.

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.

What a win... these guys are just damn good. It's crazy. and I'm loving the damn ride. Henderson might play his way into being the Head Coach.. if he wants it..

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.

That phat dude doing good stuff. Finally made it by. Bam bam is damn tasty. Wish was a little more Citra vs mosaic. But damn impressive. I could slam that kolsch al damn day. #HailState tapatalk about dis...

What a freaking series...wow. From firing our head coach for sexting away his life... to an "interim" coach taking us to Omaha. through all the crazy bounces and swings of the games...we got it done and are back in OMAHA for the 2nd time this decade. Will be interesting to play the new kid, Washington, in the opening round. With an rpi of 63 when post-season began, they are considered the "weakest" team in the field. Would be a huge win to start off in the winners bracket.

Great job Sawyer... can't strike em out. tag em out

I know it's hard to explain but.. Yes. Henderson is NOT a good head coach. we are winning all these games with our hitting. Our hitting coach, jake gautreau is bringing out the best in our freshmen or juco transfer right now. Just amazing. We have made some DUMB errors out in the field and had no business winning like we have to this point. But the old saying is it's better to be lucky than good. and who really knows how this season is going. But we are truly playing with house money and have SO much of this team coming back next year. THIS IS NOT a prediction, but IS AN OPTION. Riddle me this. Would you take a Head coach fired by Kentucky a couple years ago..on a miracle run. Or Tadlock or Butch Thompson. Both are on the final 6 "supposedly" being interviewed. It would truly be so Mississippi State LUCKED their way to Omaha and win our FIRST national championship.. and then we hire a different coach (unless henderson just retires...which is a possibility).

Going to the game tonight... work has a suite. so if nothing else free food and booze.

Thanks will definitely check those out. Ive fallen off the wagon this week. Went out to eat for a beer brunch of a friend of mine who is the rep for Independence. Couldn't resist a honey butter chicken biscuit from scratch. Didn't get to go grocery shopping so went the lazy way of eating. Lots of beer events going on this week so just been off. We are going to load up tonight at Tom thumb (always can find 1/2 off Steaks at mine usually) then hit central market and trader Joe's for everything else. I haven't stepped on the scale but know I've gone in reverse some but not back to where I started. Yall keep it up.. I'm likely gonna kick myself back on the wagon with a 16 hour fast followed by some Mct oil. #HailState tapatalk about dis...

Exactly. We will bring cowbells instead #HailState tapatalk about dis...

I actually feel really damn good about our matchup with Vandy. Yes they swept us in the regular season. But this team is completely different since the page turned to April. (14-15, 2-7 in conference.. to start the season). Now we are 35-26 and went 15-15 in conference. During that winning span we went 10-1 vs Top 10 rpi teams (UF,Ark,UM and FSU). The NCAA put the regional in Vandys tiny stadium due to construction on ours is what Kendall Rogers said. I hate it because we would of easily pulled 11k (Upper level isn't finished yet) and had to turn people away in droves. But so it goes. Sorry guys both of us can't lose for the anti-sec haters.

Well shit. Now we have to all wait till Fri/Sat. and we are still waiting to name our next head coach. Was some damn good baseball over the past 3 days.

Clemson. MSU beat FSU, Vandy beat Clemson. We will play each other.

Nope I'm a dumbass too...Only 6. Damnit UGA... choke artists
