Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson.

As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Maroon Friday edition of the yard. Try, folks. You've made it. The weekend is here. I hope it's a payday for you. For maybe some of you weekly and biweekly way, journalists. Maybe today is today. I hope it is a payday for you. And if not, maybe next week. Big night in baseball

S night in baseball

last night in a southeastern conference will break down everything that took place, including

an offensive explosion at Mississippi State, an absolute bloodletting of sorts on Thursday night

as Mississippi State locks up a spot in the top four of the

Southeastern Conference standings and here's how that will work. Basically, everything is

still in play for state until today. And what I mean by that is state is still in contention

for the SEC overall championship. Now you need Vanderbilt to lose out, and basically you need, state can't win it outright.

State could win a share.

But it's one of the cool things to be in contention in the final week into the season.

But there are some bigger fish to fry, and that's kind of what we're focused on right now. I don't think it's very realistic to expect Arkansas to lose the season. But there are some bigger fish to fry, and that's kind of what we're focused on right now.

I don't think it's very realistic to expect Arkansas to lose the final two.

You know, state's only a game back of Arkansas and two back of Vanderbilt.

But, you know, based on what's happened with this whole situation,

with A. Salaci at Texas A&M and him being suspended this weekend. I think the chances of A&M taking a serious from Arkansas pretty slim. But that's why they play the games. We'll see how it all plays out.

But state right now tied with Georgia in the SEC standings, but state holds a tiebreaker. Now,

state needs to do no worse than tie

with Georgia because state that would put state in the number three seed in the

SEC tournament and by being a three seed that means you play the early game

on Wednesday morning if you're the four seed you play the night game we really

want to get the game over with you know what I'm saying we want to go ahead and play Wednesday morning and get that thing done. Not to mention, there's all kind of competitive advantages on that sort of stuff. You know, playing a team. Played the day before. It's been a long season. But the bottom line is this. Everything that Mississippi State wants to attain, with the exception of the SEC Regardustitution Championship, is within their reach.
