re: Bertmans interview on opening night was accurate

The Golden Age (1986-2000) of LSU baseball under Skip Bertman created 5 national titles and about 12 appearances in Omaha.

Expectations will always be a part of the baseball program. Parity is real and recruiting efforts are tempered by the Amateur Draft .

With more universities spending money on baseball , the talent level gets spread out over the country. And the way the game is played now gives lesser programs a chance to be competitive in a game. Instead if losing a game 14-2 , a team may lose 5-2.

Just have to accept that going to Omaha 1/3 if the time might be more realistic for any top 15 program now. Paul has been 3 times in eight years. That might be as good as it gets these days.
