In the last 10 years, I think maybe UNC has done this, but not this year after getting dominated 18-6 in 2 games by lowly LBSU. Stony Brooks and meltdowns abound these days.
People think that LSU exists in a vacuum and are (or should be) immune to such phenomena. Omaha 4-5 times in a decade is the absolute very most I could reasonably expect. Three times in a decade in today's game is nothing to sneeze at by any means.

LSU has a major advantage in TOPS that I think people forget about. In a sport where there aren't many athletic scholarships available per team, that is a huge advantage to help keep the top in-state talent at home. Then there are also the facilities which are among the top 5, fan support which is the best in the nation, and brand recognition which has to help at least some with recruiting.
With those advantages and even recognizing the increased parity in college baseball today, I think LSU should be expected to make it to the CWS at least once every 3-4 years and at least make some noise once they get there. That 3-4 year time frame gives you enough time for complete turnover and maturation of a new group of players. Hosting a regional almost every year should also be expected since that only requires being one of the top 16ish teams, which shouldn't be too much to ask of LSU.
