What a weekend! Out of nowhere STATE is headed to play in the College World Series (hate to say I told you so but…) and OLE MISS was sent home for good. Congratulations to both schools on great years! I’ve learned one thing in my time here in Jackson, and that is everybody can play-hard ball. USM, J-State… Belhaven. Millsaps. Everybody.

It was a hard loss in the Super Regionals for the third year in a row for the Rebels. Mike Bianco's club finished with 40 wins for the third-straight season and was one of only two teams in the nation to host an NCAA Regional each of the past four seasons. I’d say they have plenty to hold their heads high about.

For STATE… the time has arrived to win a national title! Why not? The entire field in wide-open now, and in a double-elimination format where you must be hot with the bats and have two really strong starters, tell me where the Bulldogs don’t have a chance? I’m taking them to win it. And what a story it would be. After all Ron Polk has endured this year with the criticism he’s faced, imagine the headlines if he could take this team to a title!

SO what do you think? Can STATE win it all? Let us know and we’ll post your comments right here on the website…

Hope you’re packing your bags… I am. Where else do you want to go in mid-June anyway? The beach?
