LSU: 5 starters returning from 2009 National Champion lineup, 2 returing starting pitchers, and returning closer. five players drafted in first 8 rounds. season ends at UCLA regional

Texas: 5 starters returning from 2009 National Runners-Up Lineup, 4 returning starting pitchers, 1 converted to arguably nation's top closer. five players drafted in first 7 rounds. season ends at home in Super Regional

LSU.....Texas was a great team that ran into a better team. LSU was a good team that would've ran into alot of better teams even if they made it out of a regional.

LSU, defending national champs and finish #8 in the conference. Don't even make the finals of the sub-regional.

I'd have to go with UT...mainly because they lost at home and their pitching was unreal.

LSU definently. Texas was ranked number 1 throught the year. Just happened to run into some good pitching this weekend. Nonetheless both had dissapointing years.

Texas was more disappointing.

LSU met expectations of what knowledgeable LSU baseball fans thought heading into this season. Anything past making a regional would have been lagniappe this year.

Most knowledgeable LSU baseball fans predicted LSU to finish higher than 8 in the conference.

I think most of our fans expected us to at the least host a regional, and alot expected to at least make it to Omaha.

not making it to Omaha with Chance Ruffin, Cole Green, Brandon Workman, and Taylor Junggeman has to be quite a tough pill for Longhorn fans to swallow

I'd say Texas. That pitching staff was sick. Team ERA of 2.47, are you kidding?

Ruffin, Chance...... 1.11 6-1
Jungmann, Taylor.... 2.03 8-3
Green, Cole......... 2.74 11-2
Workman, Brandon.... 3.35 12-2
--------------
Nuncio, Keifer...... 1.35 2-0
Carrillo, Kendal.... 1.45 3-0
Milner, Hoby........ 1.97 3-1
Stafford, Sam....... 2.61 0-0
McKirahan, Andrew... 2.78 2-1
Thomas, Stayton..... 2.92 3-0
Urban, Josh......... 3.00 0-0
Dicharry, Austin.... 3.62 0-3
Totals.............. 2.47 50-13

Yes it was disappointing end for Texas...but they didn't squeeze into their conference tourney unranked and finish 3rd in a regional. I don't see how you could say Texas had a more disappointing season, at least they were relevant.

Congrats LSU on the prediction...I guess. But no way that was the common school of thought 36 wins was definitely the lower outlier in the prediction game.
