They're USUALLY relevant every season and currently ranked #1. Must be nice to be relevant.

LSU doesn't always make it to Omaha but...

Really tired of the overwhelming ignorance around here. LSU failed to make postseason 3 times in the past 10 years. Really wish folks would stop talking out of their @$$.

At least they were smart enough to make a change and low and behold-win another CWS title.
Actually it was Mainieri who last didn't make the postseason and it was 2 years after he won the NC. Want to keep digging?
yeah, theres ignorance around here, but it aint from people youre talking about
So you're comparing yourself to Biff? LMAO!

I didn't say Mainieri always made it to the postseason (Laval didn't make it and was canned). The only difference between Mainieri and Chad is he's coached multiple teams (3) to Omaha and won a title in 2009. Maineri got a free pass in 2011 because he had already won a CWS title-Chad has not taken us to Omaha.

No it wasn't. Mainieri was coach 2 out of those 3 years. And as I already mentioned, the last time they didn't make it was 2 years after Mainieri won the NC. And you wonder why you get no respect?
LSU is more successful than us. They can write off bad seasons as flukes and can quickly rebound. We aren't there yet. It will take us a good while longer to get this team back into championship contending form and every year we aren't national contenders will make it tougher.
I'm the only one posting facts. You've posted NOTHING. You want to dispute what I've posted, go ahead and try. But you won't, because you can't.
Again, you're wrong. Smoke only missed postseason once.
You said LSU was always relevant and I showed you that they are not as they've missed postseason 3 times in the past 10 years. If we miss this year it will be the only time in 10 years.
You also said that LSU made a change when they didn't make postseason. That's also wrong as Mainieri has missed postseason twice and is still the coach.
You make good points but they don't change the fact that everyone slips, even the greatest programs. We were eventually going to have a bad year.
I'm not against discussion or even people that don't feel like Holbrook is going to get it done. Just come with facts when you bash my team. That's all I'm saying.
Smoke was canned because he didn't make the postseason and because LSU had a losing SEC record. Something we have a good shot at this year. Maineri didn't make the postseason his first year but he won a CWS title his second. As I previously stated, he's been to Omaha 3 times and won 1 title-Chad was not taken us to Omaha.
Once again, at least he's been to Omaha three times and won a title. If anything, Chad is taking us further away from Omaha. Guess you don't see an obvious trend.
Try and keep up, Biff. This thread is about LSU always being relevant while we aren't. That is wrong, as I've proven. If you've got something to offer that proves otherwise, I'm waiting...
Actually FSU has been to Omaha 26 times without a championship and has kept Mike Martin as head coach throughout. I guess FSU has low expectations for their athletic programs, right? Should probably fire their athletic director for not fixing this 23 years ago.

75, I remember you now. You won't comment on the current coaching staff. You're the one that likes to justify poor seasons by relying on historical trends of other major programs instead of discussing accountability by the coaching staff. Sorry but I don't see the current downward trend of this program changing with the players we lose next year-especially if we lose Wynkoop. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
Apparently I'm ignorant about LSU baseball. They kept their current coach even though he missed the postseason twice so they're not relevant every year. I'm right about one thing though-the main reason he was retained is because he's actually made it to Omaha 3 times and won a CWS title. If Chad actually took us to Omaha, then he would get the benefit of the doubt a lot easier.
I haven't justified a thing. Only stating facts. I realize there are many drama queens around here that like to exaggerate. You aren't alone. The only reason I corrected you is because I think we owe it to the program we say we support to be honest in our evaluation of where they are. What you, and many like you, are doing is really no different than what they do on tigernet when we are doing well and winning. You let your emotions get the better of you and your anger deludes your assessment of the program as a whole. You can do better than that and you should. Just calm down and make sure your argument is based in fact. Shouldn't be hard for a law man.
So you have a problem with someone pointing out when someone is wrong? But we can bash the baseball team all day? Even if we're wrong? If that makes me arrogant, so be it. But it damn sure makes you ignorant.
But again, that's not what you put in your original post. You said they were always relevant. And they aren't. ALL programs have bad years. ALL of them. So yes, it would be nice to always be relevant. But no one ever is. So this thread made no damn sense. Reign in the emotions and maybe you'll make more sense. Just sayin'...
ah oh, ive pushed a button....now there u go calling people names again....i can tell you and i are gonna be best of buddies
Well your first post in here implied my ignorance and I had only posted once in the thread. Does that narrow it down enough for ya, Biffy?
yes you are absolutely correct mcfly i did....heres a thought....if you dont like the thread than dont post in it
So even when people are wrong, just let 'em rip all over the Gamecocks? That's what you want? Not a chance. But then again, I'm a Gamecock.
Every top program in college baseball experiences down years. It is just some on here only look at what USC does and since this is the first down year in quite a while they don't know how to act. Two teams expected to compete for the NC this year were Texas and Virginia. Both in the CWS last year and picked to be there again. After this weekend Texas is 22-22 overall and 8-10 in their conference. Virginia is now 27-17 and 10-14 in the ACC. Both teams have proven HC's, but there numbers as teams overall mirror where USC is this year. Neither coach forgot how to coach and since some of you think all you need is a proven HC, why are those two teams experiencing down years? You can see the frustration on Holbrook and Myers faces when a reliever comes in and walks batters on four pitches, or a hitter swings at pitches over his head with runners in scoring position. None of which they are coached to do.
