no, you posted a childish emoticon when i stated that lsu's facilities are 2nd to none. if you disagree, name the schools that have better facilities than lsu. and while you're at it, include the combination of exposure, income, etc.

You are so fricking dense. Do you realize I already did this for you in the same post you responded to? I've said twice now that LSU does have the best in exposure and income. That you were just wrong about the facilities. Underneath Alex Box, LSU has a training room, a locker room, offices, and a game room with computers. Great stuff... so does Florida State. It's just as good. Many other fields have suites. Better stadiums have all seat backs... and berms... and indoor cages. It's not as unique as you seem to think it is.

Is that enough? Do I have to repeat myself again?

quote:

you are incorrect.

---

Why? Have you been to those parks? Both of them? Have you seen what USC, Arkansas, and Florida State have to offer? Because if you have, you would know that the stadium and facilities are at LEAST comparable if not better.

quote:

---

based on what?

---

Only thing different is indoor cages. Theirs are covered. So no side walls. They have everything else in an older park than ours.

quote:

---

none of them better than lsu. pretty much none of them equal to lsu. essentially none equal to lsu in all factors.

---

You are either a troll or ignorant. I'll let you pick.

quote:

---

did i say that? no.

---

Nope. You didn't. But I'm trying to give you an out.

quote:

---

this has nothing to do with the baseball being played on the field. good grief

---

You brought up facilities. Not me. So are you saying they are relevant or not?

I'll be specific for you. Facilities matter. Schools with better resources have an advantage. But LSU isn't alone. They were never alone. You act like they are the only school to have what they have. That's dumb. There's no other way to put it. You are dumb.

quote:

---

it's not an excuse for lsu not even making it to omaha like you are making it out to be

---

Why can't you understand that the uncertainty of the draft is relevant? That while LSU can basically take their pick, players don't work out... players never make it here... and that has an effect. Again... dumb or ignorant? Your pick.

quote:

---

you're trying to say that it's a reason why lsu sometimes doesn't make omaha. it's a dumb point.

---

LSU doesn't make it to Omaha for a number of reasons. The players have get and don't get obviously have an effect. Are you seriously saying that it doesn't?

quote:

---

the fact that elite basketball programs make a certain level of the tourney regularly is the analogy and it's a correct one.

---

Wait... "make the tourney"? You mentioned Kentucky and championships. Are you changing your analogy? I don't blame you. LSU makes the NCAA tourney almost regularly. The committee went retarded in 2011. Even then, LSU only misses the tourney twice in the PM era.

quote:

---

elite baseball teams should make omaha more often than lsu has the last 5 years. it's a facile point but i see you don't get it.

---

Will you pick a damn time frame? 10 years? 1 year? Or 5 years? Stick to one, dammit!

My favorite part was where he essentially said we should be like more UK basketball fans, or "imagine what UK bball fans would say" or something along those lines. Aka the most arrogant, delusional and entitled fan base in all of sports.

on the facilities issue, we'll have to agree to disagree. however, you're wrong. there is no school better and only a literal handful as good. besides, that's only 1 of the criteria i mentioned. altogether, the postseason results aren't matching the investment. it's pretty obvious actually.

quote:

---

indoor cages

---

name the school that has a better batting facility than lsu. it's pretty much none. and yes i've been in them. and that's only 1 slice of the pie as i've said.

quote:

---

You act like they are the only school to have what they have

---

i haven't acted like that at all. it's your juvenile attempt to cover up your vacuous argument. all things considered, lsu should be 2nd to none on the field over a period of several years. that's called commensurate return on investment. lsu isn't getting it right now. at least 10 other schools are doing as good or better over the last 5 years. that's a disparity that needs to be explained by something more substantive than the mlb draft.

quote:

---

Why can't you understand that the uncertainty of the draft is relevant?

---

why are 10 other schools able to weather that storm and lsu isn't?

quote:

---

Are you changing your analogy?

---

i didn't say that and you are again misquoting me. i said a certain level of the tourney and the point is correct.

see here

honestly, you're making this harder than it is

quote:

---

I'd like to know what program over the last 5 or 10 years (not sure which time frame he'll pick) he thinks is "elite".

---

i listed them already. lsu isn't even in the top 10

Well there was this:

quote:

---

Btw, ky fans are scoffing at the notion that the basketball equivalent of mainieri's last 5 seasons would be acceptable.

---

I honestly don't feel the need to address how absurd a comparison/analogy it is that you're trying to make here.

quote:

---

They really weren't. Their sorry performance in Omaha is proof. Stony Brook had two pitchers left after Friday, and we let them them off the hook by swinging at every pitch that was in the vicinity of the strike zone and giving them 9-pitch innings. If we're patient and get to their bullpen, we win. That home run barrage in the 9th inning of Game 1 was the worst thing that happened to us because we started to believe we could hit any pitch out the park.

---

Yes they were. I can't remember off the top of my head but they had a lot of guys drafted off of that team. Good teams lose in Omaha all the time bra. You do realize the best team doesn't always win the national championship right? Stony Brook was good whether anyone wants to admit it or not

You are delusional.

That and I'm not quite sure he's ever watched a game of baseball in his life

No midweek game and a series starting on Friday. I know it's finals week, but...

quote:

---

We lead the country in attendance. That's the return. Results on the field are important for that but we are one of the few schools that make money on baseball.

---

what teams are going to consistently have great attendance with a consistently mediocre or bad record? The answer is none. People don't support a loser for very long. So, your comment about attendance being the return is misleading.

quote:

---

What 10 schools have done a better over the PM era? Over the last 5 years even?

---

I listed 10 schools who have been to Omaha at least twice and 3 that have been 3 times in the last 5 years.

quote:

---

 I love how "5 years" leaves out the 2009 season... But if we go to Omaha this year, you are satisfied. 

---

I'm having trouble getting you to understand what a trend is.

quote:

---

As if a baseball team and the results have anything to do with basketball results when the dynamic is almost completely opposite.

---

I explained it and it's pretty straightforward. I'm sorry you don't understand it. The ky fans seemed to understand it so maybe it's just you.
