That was an inspired two-week run! It was a long time coming, but what a way to bring home a National Championship!

Not a bell ringer but super proud for this team and the honor it brings to our state.

Hail State!

I began following MSU baseball due to Clark, Palmeiro, Thigpen and Brantley. I still can’t believe that team didn’t win it all but those players and Coach Polk laid the foundation.

Of course I wanted my Dogs to win, but, I guess because of history, I just could not help doubting it would happen. And I feel badly about that. I blame it mostly on Dan Mullen and watching him live and up-close pissing away games that should have been won. I just, over time, became a doubter and was conditioned to slink into the night with yet another 'close one' but coming in second.

It was rigged!
They cheated and not only stole bases but stole runs!
Biggest scam in baseball history….biggest!

Come on now? Mississippi State plays in the SEC West - which is a freakin' gauntlet.

The baseball program is on waaaaaaaay better footing than the football program. Now don't get me wrong, Mississippi State pumps good money into the football program - but not on the levels of Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, and LSU.

Be grateful for the 'ship you got last night.

They won on great coaching of the infielders and outfielders. Those guys knew how to scoop a ground ball and knew their teammates would be where they were supposed to be on every base play for ground balls. Baseball has been relying too much on pitchers alone. States infielders three to spots before the basemen got there to catch it it. That’s teamwork and makes a pitcher less pressured.

It also makes the game more fun to watch!

No errors! Now that’s a team playing its best!

@8:52AM
You need to remove Tenn from your list of FB teams as they have not really
done anything in what 15-20 yrs??
And, I am glad u didn’t place Texas (non-sec team I realize) on ur list as
they have spent a TON of $ on their FB program but have not done much
Either in a long time. Spending $ does not always translate into wins.
Just saying….

That Championship was won by those kids who were assisted by the legacy of the Ron Polk eras and the INCREDIBLE fan base. Omaha really was Dudy Noble North! How impressive was the crowd!!! Can you imagine living somewhere in the country that does not understand what baseball means to Mississippi State tuning in to see and hear the capacity crowds all three nights? Baseball doesn't get that much fan excitement until you get to the League Championship Series and World Series in the MLB.

The State of Mississippi represented! And the State of Mississippi was represented well by that team and those young men!

Congratulations Bulldogs!!! Hail State!

Maybe if we keep this good work up, someday we can have our own “zebra” tent,,,,

Legends were made and legacies sealed last night in "Dudy Noble North". Historic congratulations to the Diamond Dogs. You made every Mississippian proud, even us USM alumns!. To paraphrase USM's slogan; MSTTT! Go Dawgs. You did it!.

When the NCAA decided to put its thumb on the scale, any team that won the "title" should have an asterisk beside it. Or, the NCAA could do the right thing and allow a MSU and NC State series to determine a rightful championship team.

Oh, I am indeed grateful. All I'm saying is I'm conditioned to not EXPECT to. Expectations, although down deep somewhere, don't rumble to the top with any MSU program. Conditioned to losing. Even expected a ninth inning reversal with a Vanderbilt rally. The win, although I'm grateful, was just sort of an, 'Oh well, we won this dang thing'.

Now I do look forward to all of our TSUN friends diminishing it all by claiming Vanderbilt wasn't all that good and MSU simply lucked out. I don't have a TSUN friend anywhere who is proud of this championship. They'll claim it's like a Checkers or Golf trophy. Quite the contrary...this is a helluva great group of young baseball playing men.

10:25. sour grapes? There's no asterisk. NC State knew the Covid-19 situation, and so they have only themselves to blame. Congratulations to State on winning the CWS and representing Mississippi well.

BTW-I'm an Alabama alum and supporter.

@11:09, The NCAA was so concerned about Covid it allowed 20k+ to pack into the stadium shoulder to shoulder? Why was the NCAA testing asymptomatic players in the first place. 4 of the 6 NC State Covid positive players were vaccinated. So, is the vaccine ineffective or is that PCR Covid test junk? I'd wager on the later. NC State worked just as hard as other teams and should have had the opportunity to face State for all of the marbles. Put an asterisk on it - it's tainted.

Great response!

@1:17 PM, you must be an OM fan. State had no control over who they faced in the finals. The NCAA determined it would be Vandy, and State beat the shit out of them with a combined score of 24-10 over 3 games. Tainted or not, State took care of business handily, and I have no doubt that they would have taken care of NC State had they faced them. State was not going to be denied the NC this year.

10:13 am Legends? Give me a fucking break. I think it is absolutely fantastic that not only did a MS team win something on a national level, but that it was MSUs first time to do so. So happy for the players, coaches, and fans that got to experience that. But Legends?! Get a grip.

Who is the older white guy that was with Dak in the stands and next to him in the locker room?

If State had been Covid disqualified, they would be singing a different tune. In the spirit of sportsmanship and the sanctity of the game, State fans and its team should be leading the calls for a State vs NC State championship series to crown a true champion. Otherwise, put an asterisk on it.

1:17. 11:09 again. Bama alum and fan. No dog in the fight.

#1-The vaccine does not make you immune. What is does is train your own body to recognize Covid-19 and kill it off with white blood cells. People who have taken the vaccine test positive all the time. The vaccine does not 'fight' covid like an antibiotic.

#2-NC State knew the Covid protocols. The NCAA (corrupt as it is) wasn't going to postpone the CWS for a week for NC State's Covid outbreak. They knew there were to be tests. They only tested because players came down with symptoms. All 4 of the vaccinated players were asymptomatic. (see how the vaccine works above.)

#3-See the pitcher for game 1 vs state? No way NC State could have beat that pitcher. Vandy was going to make it to the final series anyway, and State would have swept the series in that case.

NC State beat Kopps - it can beat any pitcher in the country.

There's a lot of comments on here about a tainted championship, only from the jealous losers, Mississippi State can only play, and beat, the teams in front of them. That they did. Mississippi State is your Men's College Baseball Champions.

More than a few butt-hurt (State haters) posting about NC State. The rule is the rule. If a rule ruled that team OUT, they're out. Plumb damned stupid to suggest there ought to be some other kind of round robin to see if they could possibly beat State. Why not back up and make the final three games the best four out of seven? Suck it up Satchmo. The only reason you watched to begin with was your hoping to see MSU lose. MSU Bulldogs are your 2021 National title holders.

To the folks bringing up NCST, it’s a shame that happened but MSU earned this title. Yes, NCST beat a good Arkansas team to advance. While that was happening State was beating Notre Dame. The same ND who played in the same division of the same conference that NCST is in and won SIX more conference games than NCST did. In Omaha, MSU beat the top ranked team in it’s bracket, Texas, twice. Then they beat the top ranked team in the other bracket, Vandy, twice. They outscored Vandy 24-10. Along the way MSU played 16 games against teams who finished in the top 5 in RPI. Twice as many as NCST did.

Hail State! Another interesting statistic from our dear NCAA.

Take a look at where most of the MSU players played high school baseball, and where they're from..."where ya from, who's ya mamma, where you church?". Most did not attend elite prep schools from all over the USA, such as Vandy. The MSU team is as southern as Home-Grown 'Maters.

College baseball roster is 35. 27 players may receive financial aid. NCAA allows 11.7 scholarships for baseball. So, for public schools like MSU or Ole Miss, they must spread out the money for 11.7 full scholarships across 27 players, thus most of their players are getting 30% of their tuition paid for. Hence, they must mostly recruit in state bc out of state tuition is so much higher. Private schools with billion dollar endowments like Vandy can put players on full academic/grant scholarships to avoid having it count against the NCAA's limit of 11.7 baseball scholarships. This makes it easier for them to bring in players from around the country bc they can give them a "grant" to cover tuition.

This makes the 2021 CWS Championship even a better "sweet tea" for the Bulldawgs. They deserve every accolade, and leave your shade at home. Pardon any errors in spelling or grammar.

Best,
DWD

6:32 not to mention ZERO(0) errors the whole College World Series. That's an amazing feat when you are playing the talent you do there. Also, set a D1 Baseball record of 817 strikeouts on the season beating out Vandy's Rocker & Leighter which is arguably the best 1/2 pitchers in college baseball. Oh, and CWS attendance records for the fans. It's been an incredible ride.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
