re: Is LSU’s 2023 football defense or this year’s baseball team more disappointing?

Well yeah, they're completely different. For one thing, Ole Miss wasn't remotely #64, as they were a 3 seed from a big conference. They got an at-large bid, something none of the 4 seeds got.

They also got injured players back for the stretch. They started out #1, so people did expect something of them in the preseason.

I think the problem with that comparison is that LSU isn't missing anyone to injury right now,

OM was literally the 64th team picked in '22. No SEC team is gonna be a 4th seed even if the last team in.

They were 32-21 at the end of the regular season, 14-16 in the SEC, and eliminated from the SECt in their first game. Living on the edge.

FTR, we are not injury free. Frey can't throw which limits him to DH only which in turn has ripple effects. And Shores and Noot are still out.

If for slightly different reasons, we're in the same boat as OM was - finding your best lineup and roles when it matters most.
