Are people really still crying about one or two pitching decisions? That is supposed to define him as a coach?

I've said this numerous times on this board but there is no other program in the entire country besides South Carolina that had had a better past 7 seasons than LSU has. Criticism/debate for certain moves is perfectly reasonable but if you put emotion aside for a second, you'll realize we have one of the best coaches in the country.

Having said that, it's really time to move on from a couple of pitching decisions. We had an exciting run to end the season and won a SEC Tournament Championship in the process. We got a top 8 National Seed when a month before that most people said we had no chance and probably wouldn't host at all. It's time to turn the page and look toward next season.

We squandered that top 8 seed with a four run lead and six outs to go and you want people to just let it go after a week?

Let's just not discuss anything after 4 days. New TD commandment.

Not reading the 8 or so pages, but I would think most agree with this statement. You aren't going to stop the irrational ones that disagree with this from bitching anyway

fwiw, a lot of their fans have been jumping off a ledge wanting to fire their new HC already too for not making it to Omaha the past 2 seasons. I guess winning brings out the unrealistic stupidity in a lot of people. They were raving about him prior to Tanner leaving and scared to death he'd go somewhere else. Now he's missed the CWS twice and he's garbage apparently. Nevermind all the veteran leadership they lost from those CWS teams.

I also wonder what people would be saying if we finished the season how we'd been playing up to the last 2 weeks instead of getting hot, got sent to Lafayette, and knocked out in convincing fashion. Would the melt have been worse?
