Hey everyone, my name is Josh. I'm 17 years old and about to be a senior here in Blytheville, Arkansas. As you can probably tell from my username, I'm a die-hard Mississippi State fan because my grandfather played basketball there years ago. I love MSU very much, and have followed my favorite player Jon Papelbon since his college days, which made it even sweeter when he landed with the Red Sox.

I have been a Red Sox fan since I was a little kid. Everyone in this area (Northeast Arkansas) loves the Cardinals and for some reason they just never appealed to me. St. Louis is actually my second most hated team, behind the Yankees of course. My dad and I do get a lot of crap being the only Red Sox fans here, but that World Series sweep of the Cardinals in 2004 was pretty amazing. Most St. Louis fans are also incredibly stupid, by the way.

Anyways, I'll wrap this up. This looks like an awesome Red Sox community and I look forward to contributing on here for years to come. If yall have any questions, just ask. - Josh

Finally! Someone who both seems to be and SOUNDS (through typing) smart. Welcome to the board. I'm sure you'll like it here.

I watched that Mississippi State game against Clemson (I think) and it was INTENSE. I've never seen fans have reactions like that to every single pitch. Very passionate fanbase there.

Ha, so true. Every time I see a new entry in the Introduce Yourself thread, I think to myself "Oh geez...here we go again." But this Josh character seems legit.

Welcome aboard, and the same goes for you; if you have any questions, don't hesitate to let any of us know.

Welcome to Talksox. We can talk about SEC sports, namely how every other team is so much better than Vanderbilt.

That Super Regional against Clemson was unbelievable. We had 13,000+ in attendance (more than the other three SR's combined) and even more would've been there, but it was so packed they actually stopped selling standing room only tickets. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be there for those games, but it was the best college baseball atmosphere I have ever seen in my life. We love our Diamond Dawgs. Getting to Omaha was great - not bad for a squad picked to finish dead last in the SEC.

And as for Vandy, the only sport they aren't good at these days is football. Their baseball program has become one of the nation's elite, and they had a very nice NCAA Tournament run in basketball. I'll be glad to talk some SEC football too.

Also, thanks for the compliments guys.

Just thought I'd update this and let yall know I'm going to try and get back to posting on here again. It's been a pretty busy senior year for me and I haven't had much time, but with baseball season starting back up I figured I'd try and get back to the board.
