It’s obvious winning the NC last year ruined us this year.

With the way recruiting is these days you can’t give up all that time.

If we want to be any good we can’t go deeper than about 3-4 games in Omaha. It’s hard not be selfish in the moment but if we want to build a dynasty that is how you do it.

Tell that to Coastal Carolina, they are in the top 10

The excuses on this board are ridiculous.

Of all the excuses I’ve heard, this one really has me puzzled. If this is the case someone that is as smart as Jay, should have something or someone in place to mitigate any recruiting deficits incurred while competed for the National Championship! This is NOT an acceptable justification for someone that gets paid 7 figures to manage an organization!

If LSU lost to CCU last year, we would be just as bad right now at this moment as we are now.

They didn’t win it last year and their coach had an 8 inning head start on Jay for recruiting.

How many players returned from last seasons team for them? UCLA was in Omaha and is the best team in the country because just about everyone returned.

Arkansas is struggling too. Why? Because they lost a ton of production.

Context matters.

This is one of the most disappointing aspects of this season.

We all questioned the caliber of their coach last year. Jay supposedly out-recruited him and out-NIL’d him after the season.

How did the Coastal Carolina coach build a better team? What was Jay’s blind spot?

It's the same reason BK wanted the single portal window during the playoffs. He knew he was never gonna get there and thought it would give him a leg up to just win 1

Our starting pitching Evans cooper Moore gets hurt or significantly underperforms expectation. Bullpen does not develop… several key defensive lapses The margin for error or underperformance in the SEC is very very small. Not making excuses. Just reality JJ and fans like me have to rationalize.

I’ll ask again since apparently no one wants to answer:

How much of their roster returned?

Not really relevant since he made the CWS finals in his 1st season.

Arky always chokes but at least they are in the Top 25, plenty of Tiger fans would trade for that. Besides Arky does not set the LSU standard.

How about this context: a Championship coach that is the highest paid in the country should have the foresight to construct his team to be competitive every year. He has admitted to his failings, but people keep trying to make excuses for him even though he doesn't make them for himself.

Also, the context of my reply was in relation to the OP, winning a Championship is not an excuse to shite down you leg.

Returning production doesn’t matter? Well, that’s just stupid.

Especially since Jay’s 2nd season, in which he he returned a ton of production from 2022, they won a title.

Not too 25 for much longer. Not to mention all the same retards melting now, you included, were pining for “Arkansas success” prior to Jay winning his 2nd title in 3 seasons.

This is melty, sky screaming nonsense that doesn’t deserve a reply.

6 starters returned from the lineup.

being in the championship series at Omaha puts you at serious disadvantage during the portal window. It’s why pretty much every defending champion besides Tennessee in ‘25 finished below .500 in there conference.
