BATON ROUGE, La. -- After LSU failed to make the College World Series for a third straight season in 2012, head coach Paul Mainieri called infielder Mason Katz and asked him if he wanted to accept an invitation to participate in the CWS home run derby.
Katz gladly accepted.
"And [Mainieri] said 'Good, I want you to have experience there for when you take the team there next year,'" Katz recalled.
quote:
"At LSU, the goal is to win national championships," said outfielder Raph Rhymes who, along with Katz, is a senior who opted to return to school for his senior season rather than leave for pro ball specifically in an effort to get to Omaha for the first time in their college careers.
"Anything less than that and all that other stuff doesn't matter."
quote:
"That's what gives me a lot of confidence about the team," Mainieri said. "I just feel like they've had a lot thrown at them and they've been able to keep their focus and their concentration when they need to."
LSU may not have played a game at TD Ameritrade Park yet, but the Tigers certainly carry themselves like they belong.

In the quick turnaround world of college sports, a three-year absence brought LSU's senior class within a year of becoming the first at LSU since the 1980s not to make it to the CWS. That's a little bit like a Duke senior class not making a Final Four or an Alabama senior class not winning the SEC football title.

Its actually not very accurate, being that they won the SEC in 09 then 12 but hadn't won one since 99 and the one before that in 92.
That comment would actually be more accurate if it was stated about LSU, since we've won it in 01, 03, 07, 11. And thus a longer current streak.
But I really don't want to make this thread about that.

The premise of that article is nice and all, but Gary Laney is just a terrible writer.

Exactly. Before '09, Bama had won 3 outright SEC titles in THIRTY YEARS: '79, '92, '99. Three....
(They were Co-SEC Champions in '81 and '89.)

Glad to see that a pro LSU article turned into an Alabama/espn bash session within the first 20 posts
Way to go Rant.
Within the first 10 posts. Even better
