Sitting in those bleachers behind 3rd base...eating a #2 Sonic Burger with a M&M Sonic Blast on those Tuesday afternoons. Watching Will the Thrill jack one out to hit the scoreboard, ...Palmerio, Brantley, Thigpen, Gator Thieson, Roark McDonald, Dan Van Cleve, Gene Morgan, John Scott, etc... Did you guys knw that Will Clark never made the SEC All-Tournament Team? I will remember Coach Polk from my years in college during the years at the old stadium at DNF.

He may be an ornery fella, but coaches who seemed to tell it like it is always receive respect from their team. Polks flavor and the fact that he has baseball down to a science(i think polk teaches like 21 diff ways to hit) has led to his great success and colorful career! i can see where farley’s comin from,

If you remember, Polk made all the right calls and pitching changes up to the CWS and pulled out the miracle finish to get there. I am thankful for that lasting image of MSU Baseball For the past few years though, he had become more of an individual persona than MSU representative and I'm just glad he knows to call it quits rather than take on 2 jobs at the same time. Most likely with unequal passion for each one(MSU and NCAA). The Georgia thing did leave a bad taste for me but he deserves much praise for his body of work. I don't hold it against him so much that he wants Raffo as his replacement when nobody else wants him. It is more of a farewell wish to his friend in Raffo that he probably knows won't get the nod. I think he knows that Byrne cares less about Polk's input into the decision than LT might in the same situation. Ready to see some excitement back in MSU baseball with a new young coach...as long as it's not Raffo.
