They’re down 8-1 with TN batting in B6. Not sure if that will cost them a top 8 seed, but 0-2 is not a good look. I hate it. I’d hoped to see TN sent packing.
What is this Starkvegas crap? A place that looks like the back of an old radio does not need to be called Starkvegas.

Jeff, it’s been called Starkvegas because it’s the opposite. Stark is the right modifier, too.

Kind of in the same vein as “Fayettenam” in my book…just some random nickname that caught on with a lot of folks…

Kind of interesting that Jeff, of all people, is questioning nicknames.

The Leghumpers have embraced that nickname too. I think it’s even painted on the floor at the Hump. I guess they think it will fool recruits.
The leghumpers are having a miserable showing in the tournament. Amazing number of hits and runs they gave up to Florida.
If Moo U likes the nickname, I don’t. If they hated it, I’d be all over it. Personally I prefer Stankvomit to describe the seat of Oktibbeha County.
Oh this is rich
I think Mississippi State is in good shape to be a top-8 seed.
Borderline. RPI dropped to 9 after losing to Florida and Tennessee. RPI isn’t the be-all end-all, but two and through – with both by mercy rule – at Hoover doesn’t help. Stanford or ECU might jump over them.
I don’t think the committee uses league tournaments as a measurement tool. But it was not a good look for State.

Yes headed home where they can get an extra 3-4 days rest before the NCAAs begin compared to those going deeper in their conference tourneys. I can see some advantages there.

I’ve heard it called “Starkvegas” before but back when I was in college, it wanna say it was called Stankville.
I’ve heard it called several things. I guess I could have just said “Bulldogs headed back to Starkville” & avoided the distraction.
