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.

I meant absolutely no disrepect to Florida State.
I was just comparing our post-2013 CWS depression to what fans of a school who has been to Omaha many times but never won it all might be going through.
I think you underestimate FSU Athletics. They've won football NCs, many football bowl games, had famous athletes, been to many CWS, and even been to Final Fours in basketball...
