Only 3 National Seeds made it out of their own regional!

That's a crazy number. College Baseball has more parity than ever.
40 years ago USC was able to dominate because no one else seem to even compare.
Skips teams in 90's were one of 10 or so teams that always seemed to make it to Omaha.
Now the parity is greater than ever and its a great thing for the sport.
Having said that PM made some really bad decisions Sunday night that cost us this regional. But the fact that he has us their every year is respectable as well. The 90's domination is gone. Not just for LSU, but for anyone.

South Carolina might disagree. But yes, you're right. And I'd continue to look at smaller schools to go deep into the post season if for no other reason than they have better chemistry.

But we are LSU. We are better than everyone else and we should be able to win just by putting on the purple and gold!!11!1

Just like my father when I brought home Cs in middle school and explained that everyone else did poorly too, I don't give a shite what everyone else did.

I completely disagree with everyone on this. Yes 5 national seeds didn't make it; however, you still have teams like USCe who seem to always be around when it comes to Omaha.

And the #1 overall seed got knocked out too.

That was because they bought all of their players. (Before scholarship restrictions and no one else had the money/desire to compete.)

That was because Skip and those other coaches were able to recruit the most talented teams year after year. Look at the number of MLB players came from those 10 teams during that time.

I'll have to disagree. Now it depends less on talent and far more on getting hot at the right time, getting those couple of lucky calls, or your opponent just making that one critical error. There WAS a time when the better team could overcome this with offense, but the NCAA killed that.
Some will say that the game is better and that the small ball era is a better game. I'm not one of them. Small ball isn't why everyone over the age of 6 knows who Babe Ruth is the better part of a century after he played. Small ball isn't what turned an LSU team from one that couldn't give away tickets a couple of decades ago to pulling in nearly 500k fans a year (many other "big" programs felt similar growth). I say it is time to bring back the bats of days of old. That's just my personal opinion.

It is called Small Ball... its killing the college game. It has brought the terms Loud Outs and Atom Balls to the forefront of college baseball. Pitchers get away with murder and lots of runners get stranded.
