I had a conversation this morning with an Auburn dude, and he thought LSU was a long shot to make it to Omaha. I know, it is an Auburn grad....

Anyhoo, I told him we had about a 60% (just a random number indicating greater than 50-50) to make it based on #7 seeding, home field, experience, pitching, etc...

What is you all's guess. What liklihood would you put on it?

I would say all that makes it upwards to 70-80.

Oregon St. is a good team, so is Miami and UCF. But if they knock us out in the regionals or super regionals at the box, it's a HUGE upset.

That sounds right, maybe, if we were matched with the College Station regional.

But we got the Coral Gables regional. I'm pretty sure we're going to Omaha.

...and tell your Auburn friend that we're a lot better now than when they saw us in March.

I'd say 2-to-1. (67% for the math challenged).

Playing at home and being matched up with the Miami regional makes LSU a good bet to get to Omaha.

But having watched LSU hitting go anemic at times this year I'm not placing a bet.

It's always 50-50. Either we do or we don't.

75% at worst. Homefield advantage is huge.

100% chance that we have a chance to make it and Auburn doesn't.

I would say we have an 85% chance to make it to Omaha.

I'd say it's 60-40 we get to a SR. Then 50-50 again to make it to the CWS.

Actually, Boyd Nation says we have a 49% chance.

But he is a Moo State grad, so no wonder he and Aubie are on the same page.

50-50. We either make it or we don't.

I think every game might be 50-50, too. We wither win or we don't.

50%-60% sounds about right to me.

But, some people don't realize how high of a percentage 50% is. It probably ranks us right about where we are seeded (7th) with the highest probability to advance.

I would say 50/50 is fairly accurate.
