re: What are the chances LSU wins a game in Omaha this year?

If we make it to Omaha, we'll have a much better chance at winning now that the ball has changed. A fluke like UCLA is less likely to occur when you even the playing field. Rosenblatt was fantastic and had a great feel. Unfortunately Omaha needed to build a new park and although nice, just hasn't turned out to be the equivalent of Rosenblatt.
The Omaha World Herald had a great article a few years ago about how the park was built. The direction is odd, the spacing between downtown buildings kills fly balls, etc. It has enabled one-dimensional (pitching) teams to win the title as the park cancels power and batting average. They were concerned because many fans complained the games were very boring.
Hopefully the games will no longer resemble a warning track, pop-fly competition...and actually be similar to the games played the remainder of the season. If we get there, I like our chances this time.

150 wins in 3 seasons, one trip to Omaha, and zero wins. What does the team need to do different to stop the decline?
