Good that our expectations are high - just try to understand that they are also a little unrealisitc.

Top 10 teams this year that are also stunned to not make it to Omaha: Oregon, Texas A&M, Rice, North Carolina, Baylor, Kentucky

Traditional powers that had truly "down" years: Texas, CS Fullerton, Miami. Did USCw even have a winning record? When was the last time they or Arizona State made Omaha? Stanford goes, what, every 5 years?

This team had Gausman and Rhymes but otherwise overachieved with this talent. Recruiting is fickle. Florida's team has been good the last few years because of one epic recruiting class. Tanner clearly has the ability to make his teams perform in the postseason (just as Skip did). Our coaching and recruiting are trending positive from last year - CPM will get us back to Omaha next year and all will be right with the world.

I don't think making Omaha once every 4 years is unrealistic although you make some valid points.

However, outside of Texas and maybe South Carolina, no one has the resources we currently have. So it's hard for me to accept that other "top" programs didn't go to Omaha either. Quite simply, LSU isn't like the majority of those other "top" programs.

ASU made it in 2009 and 2010.

Stanford in 2008.

The problem is not overachieving. The problem is with the talent level being where it was. There's nothing fickle about failing to recruit well after winning a National Championship 3 years after.

I hope so, but he still remains accountable for the past 3 years and allowing it slide after winning it all. Great coaches don't let that happen.
