UPDATED - What a great time to be a Tiger fan!
I was just thinking (and this may be just my weird perspective) that eight teams made it to the CWS. That means 8 survived a long season of baseball, then Regionals, then Super-regionals, and then made it to the CWS. If we could make a tree (or hierarchy) of all the Division 1 teams and put that in perspective, that means that these 8 teams beat a multitude of the wannabees. Although LSU went 57-11 in actual games, they also sort of got credit for the hundreds of other games in the tree beneath them. Funny thing, LSU also beat Mississippi State 2x, and MSU is still in it. I'd say LSU has done good to be where it is now. Sorry, but this is the Rant and I can think weird like a lot of others...
Oh, BTW, I think we have a great array of coaches.
LSU has also been to more CWS in the last 27 years (16) than any other team.
And how'd you like to be Florida State? 21 CWS appearances - ZERO national championships....

I was once on a ListServe about LSU Sports with a guy who called himself "Cool Papa Beau." He had nicknames for many of the college teams, and FSU was no exception. One of the names that circulated for FSU was "Free Shoes University" based on the donation of a large athletic shoe company. Another I have heard over the years is "Finishes Second Usually." I do not mean to disrespect FSU, as it is the capstone of my degree field (Instructional Design), and it is a magnificent institution, but, for some reason it just can't get to the very top of the rung athletically. It is also possible that the University is a better "catapult" for life skills beyond/aside from athletics, so perhaps that in essence makes FSU outstanding on its own. One of these days or years FSU will get there--and that stigma in athletics will be gone.
