re: Athletic program goals and coaches at LSU

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.

This is a nice advantage to have. But it's a small piece to a big, BIG puzzle. FWIW, there are several other SEC schools with this advantage as well, if I'm not mistaken.

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.

This is all fair, in my opinion.
