I didn't say win a championship every year. I said at compete for the CWS. When LSU doesn't make it to Omaha it should be a shock.

You didn't answer the question.

When was LSU undeserving of being top 8 in the country?

And the last one was true. He needed to figure it out. He still hasn't. I've said I will call Paul out when he fricks up!! I don't think he should be fired over it ??

If this is the standard you hold, you may as well stop watching LSU baseball because no coach will ever please you from here on out.

do you think Coastal Carolina was the best team last season, what about Fresno State in 2008?
yes and yes. they did what needed to be done to make the postseason and then were the best teams in the postseason. that's how sports work when there is a postseason.

So in Fresno State's case, why even play the regular season, just win your conference tournament to get an auto bid?

That really constitutes being the best?

How can someone who has never won a title be the best?

Broski, don't argue with him it's not worth it. He latches on to one little detail and beats the shite out of it until you come away with less brain cells.

i did answer the question. pretty much every season, some team is not AWARDED a national seed. that directly answers the question of how national seeds are not an accomplishment. they're not objective and they are not directly controlled by a team's record. honestly, this is pitiful. i'm pretty sure you're being obstinate.

Uh yes they are... you get it based on your resume.

That is literally what it means to be "awarded".

other teams are getting it done in omaha. why isn't mainieri? heck, mainieri isn't even the best in the sec. he's third if you go by cws records over the last 7 seasons. why are you ok with this?

Nah, it's fun for me to argue with someone who lacks history and context, but doesn't realize it. He'll never concede that he's wrong, but that just means he constantly looks more and more stupid for the whole world to see.

He didn't even make the postseason in 2013.

his whole argument is = CWS wins = success, but the candidates he listed that had CWS wins never won a fricking championship except for Corbin and Virginia coach. He also conveniently leaves out 2009 because it hurts his argument.

absolutely. objectively, no question about it. they beat the best at the highest level. get this - THE REGULAR SEASON IS NOT HOW ELITE TEAMS ARE MEASURED. this is why you can't get past the silly "national seed" idea

The fact that you think that Fresno State was without question the best team in 2008 is laughable.

In a vacuum, it's a more thorough measurement than a double elimination tournament.

by winning more games than the competition over a longer period of time? are you in elementary school?

1. should miles have been fired? YES OR NO
2. why don't teams like tcu, florida, vandy, etc, have to resort to the silly "national seed" claim? why can they make BETTER claims?
3. mainieri isn't even top 5 in cws wins over the last 7 seasons. why are you ok with that?
4. who is directly responsible for the health of the program?
5. how can something be an accomplishment when you didn't directly control the outcome?

let's see if you have the guts to answer these questions
