Only 3 National Seeds made it out of their own regional!

That's a crazy number. College Baseball has more parity than ever.
40 years ago USC was able to dominate because no one else seem to even compare.
Skips teams in 90's were one of 10 or so teams that always seemed to make it to Omaha.
Now the parity is greater than ever and its a great thing for the sport.
Having said that PM made some really bad decisions Sunday night that cost us this regional. But the fact that he has us their every year is respectable as well. The 90's domination is gone. Not just for LSU, but for anyone.

South Carolina might disagree. But yes, you're right. And I'd continue to look at smaller schools to go deep into the post season if for no other reason than they have better chemistry.

But we are LSU. We are better than everyone else and we should be able to win just by putting on the purple and gold!!11!1

Just like my father when I brought home Cs in middle school and explained that everyone else did poorly too, I don't give a shite what everyone else did.

I completely disagree with everyone on this. Yes 5 national seeds didn't make it; however, you still have teams like USCe who seem to always be around when it comes to Omaha.

Oh well this explains why you're such a dumbass that you think we should fire PM. Makes sense.

Since 2008 USCe has been to CWS 3 times and won it twice
LSU has been 3 times and won it once since 2008

And the #1 overall seed got knocked out too.

That was because they bought all of their players. (Before scholarship restrictions and no one else had the money/desire to compete.)

That was because Skip and those other coaches were able to recruit the most talented teams year after year. Look at the number of MLB players came from those 10 teams during that time.

I'll have to disagree. Now it depends less on talent and far more on getting hot at the right time, getting those couple of lucky calls, or your opponent just making that one critical error. There WAS a time when the better team could overcome this with offense, but the NCAA killed that.
Some will say that the game is better and that the small ball era is a better game. I'm not one of them. Small ball isn't why everyone over the age of 6 knows who Babe Ruth is the better part of a century after he played. Small ball isn't what turned an LSU team from one that couldn't give away tickets a couple of decades ago to pulling in nearly 500k fans a year (many other "big" programs felt similar growth). I say it is time to bring back the bats of days of old. That's just my personal opinion.

Ummm.... South Carolina got knocked out of their regional too. Didn't even make it to Monday.

I made a C once in high school. The world didn't end.

We have all heard it because it is true. And in will still be true 50 years from now.

Parity is one possible explanation. I think it may also reflect that the committee did a very poor job of evaluating teams and/or conferences. I don't think UH should have hit an LSU-level team until at least the supers.

parity is not the reason we had a coach shite his pants. parity was the reason for most of the chaos this weekend but not in BR. A good team got much better coaching than another good team.

I bet they didn't melt down as badly when they got skull dragged by Maryland.

Yes, damn near everything that went Houston's way yesterday I said "Well isn't this shite a gift?"

bringing in our worst pitcher in the most critical situation was a nice gift for the Coug victory lap
