No one likes it, but it happens to everyone. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. They haven't even played next season yet, one that we should all expect LSU to host, they will be loaded.

I hear you say this, but I don't see all this talent you are talking about in terms of being loaded. Our fundamentals are bad, our defense is not that strong, and we can't hit. I personally see the talent declining here over the past few years....had we not had excellent pitching this year, we would have had a very rough year...we can't always expect that.

LSU has led the nation in attendance, has a brand new facility, has won 6 titles in the last 20 years, and appeared at Omaha about 15 times in last 26 years. Expecting them to make it every year is unrealistic, and expecting them to win it every year is way unrealistic....but a program like lsu is one of the elite programs in the nation, and should be able to get top talent and top coaching....IF LSU does not go to Omaha next year, then it will make 5 times in 6 years that they didn't go. I remember when we expected to not only go, but be competetive. I don't think that is too much to respect from an elite program. You guys love you some PM...but you have to admit the coaches he has hired haven't exactly been great...and that talent he has gotten isn't all that great. Y'all say he overachieved.....well he is responsible for bring in talent and coaches......we should overachieve every once in a while. He isn't a terrible coach....but our defense and hitting are just not that good...and we run the bases terrible..poor fundamentals.....
