Mics catch Ole Miss' baseball coach extremely NSFW tirade after Mississippi State player's epic bat flip
Mississippi and Mississippi State continued their rivalry on the baseball diamond Saturday night and if there were any doubt over the intensity of the dislike between these two schools, Rebels coach Mike Bianco all but erased it.
With the No. 22 Bulldogs batting in the top of the 11th inning, catcher Johnny Long hit a go-ahead home run and absolutely launched his bat toward the sky as he trotted down the first base line.
Excessive celebrations like these are technically against NCAA rules, but up to the description of the umpires. Given the nature of the moment, Long was allowed to escape with just a warning — which sent Bianco into a fit of rage that ESPN’s mics just happened to pick up.
Warning: NSFW Language

“You’re supposed to [expletive] throw him out!” Bianco shouted at the officials loud enough that the mics in the press box would’ve been able to hear.
Instead, the umpires tossed the Ole Miss coach from the game, which, yeah he probably had that coming after his reaction.
The Rebels scored in the bottom of the 11th inning to knot the game back up at 9-9 before walking it off on a two-run single in the 12th. We can imagine Bianco probably had a few more expletives to share with the team once they got back to the clubhouse to celebrate.
