do you think we will see more african-american baseball players recruited, than under Polk? Not that race should really matter, but it always bothered me that
MSU consistently had fewer blacks on the baseball squad than other SEC teams.

I have liked everything about Cohen so far, but holy shit, please tell me that was an attempt to get females to come to the games.
The good news is that our conditioning is likely to improve. Also, as far as AA baseball players- really we aren't all that much worse than most of the other teams in the SEC. There were a lot of things about Polk that I didn't like, but not having very many AA baseball players never really bothered me all that much. There is no doubt that AA can play baseball, but you could have a coach that is as racist as David Duke and put together an all white team that could win a lot of games. I just want the best players that we can get, regardless. I'd actually like to see us go get some Latino players myself. |

I'm with you Todd4, Cohen needs to step up the recruiting with the Latino players. Puerto Rico should have some good ones. Palmeiro was Cuban. Maybe Raffy
can spring for a translator to be added to the staff (tongue in cheek).

Yea, they're called black. I've never met a black guy that was offended by the term black, and I've never met one that didn't use the term
white. Too many people get caught up in this PC bullshit.

not the last time UK played at the Dude but the time before they had a black kid in the outfield that was from Columbus. That dude was all over the field
making diving catches and playing all out on every pitch. That got me sorta pissed because Corly and most of our outfielders were just jogging around watching
balls go all the way to the wall without much effort to stop them. The whole UK team played all out, all weekend and we lucked out winning the series. I
don't care what color a player is if he plays that hard every game. A player like that should not have to go to Kentucky to play ball. That's the main
thing we will see different in our teams from here on. Coach Cohen will not put up with this " olley bullshit " we've had to see the last several
years. I could do without the mo looking picture though. Yuckerinski !

On this significance of experience-- "If you have everyone back from a team that lost 10 games, experience isn't too important."
"We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking." "Statistics and records are baseball talk. They keep records like most times sliding into second base on a Tuesday." --John McKay |

The problem with getting black players is typically most are also good at basketball or football | #14 | ||

And more will take MLB money if they are good enough to play. The only black players I can remember in the last 10 years was Enrico Jones and Michael Brown.
I think Jones was signed by Polk maybe but Brown was signed by McMahon.

I said that we should sign two-sport athletes. Not only does Sylvester Croom have a chance at 4-* and 5-* players that way, but it would free up some
scholarships for John Cohen to use. Murray claimed that football "took up too much time". I call bullshit. For a school that's as small as
ours, offering to let some stud football player also play baseball is the only way we can compete with athletic programs with 2-3 times our athletic budget.
Besides, what do most football players do in the spring? Being known as the school "that would let you play two sports" would give us an edge in
recruiting.

You're right. It's typical think inside the box, small-minded MSU thinking. | #18 | ||

It's really pretty simple. The 2 sport player simply plays football full-time in the fall, then plays baseball in the spring. During spring football practice, he's not available to the baseball team except for weekend series. Spring football practice can be on say Mon-Tue-Thu each week. The player would miss the spring football game, but who really cares about that anyway. |
