How many of you guys are coming up for SBW? If its enough of us we should have a get togethor, I will watch the game in my seats but before the game Fri. and Sat. I will be at my spot in RF cooking it up with some friends. We will be there tying one on about 2:00pm Fri. and who knows what time Sat. but yall come on up and hang with us your all more than welcome to and if yall want maybe we can get Rebelyelp and Rebelduckaholic to get that band they was wanting

I'm planning on making it for sat and sun, just not 100% sure right now.

I'm in.....tell me where

I'll be ther for sho, cookin fried fish Fri. night, and turnin on the grill on Sat. and Sun. out there in left field lounge....not to mention all the extra curricular activities in between.

It just isn't the same since they went to three day games instead of the double header on Sat. and a singel game on Sun.

I liked it when it was a fri. night game and a dh on Sunday but that was years ago

I hear there is going to be a hell of a party at the Level III after the Maroon & White football game.

duckkiller..

i've never heard of the fri night single game the then sunday double header.. when was that format played??

when it rained on saturday

Polk always hated 7 inn games with a passion, main reason he pushed the fri-sat-sun series setup, which I happen to prefer.

me too.........gives me another chance to be out in left field....

Polk didn't push for 3 gates, the SEC did. It helps most teams with smaller attendances in the larger towns. We have a unique situation at State. Back when we played two on Saturday folks would drive in for the DH Saturday and spend the night, watch the Sunday game....you couldn't find a hotel room in Starkville. Now, folks from out of town have to spend two nights in a hotel......starts to get a little more expensive for us poor Mississippi Folks.

Well, Polk wanted the 3 day series so he could get more inn for the relievers plus having an extra day to rest up.

I always heard he was pushing it pretty hard along with Skip.

But the main reason it was done was because of $$$.

No question it was for money.....but I think it hurts Starkville / MSU more than it helsp from the $$$ standpoint.......but helps the other schools that have a largr fan base (bigger city) closer to their schools.

My bad big that was a typo It use to be a Fri night game and a double header on Sat. when I was little and let me tell you it was a fun day on top of the hill b/t games but now they have turned the hill into a paved parking lot
