nah just 6 wish it was 7 but just 6. It's not that hard to remember either. 5 titles in the 90s (the most crazy pace ever, and we will never see it again), 1 in 2009. If you have followed LSU baseball at-least decently close you know this stat. Maybe it was just at typo

all of them since ESPN began carrying the sport. We have the biggest fanbase, the best facilities.. we ARE the Duke of college baseball. Until very recently, we were far and away the most recognizable program in the sport; now it's dropped to "certainly in contention".
It SHOULD be a goal to make it to Omaha every season; to win it at least once every 5 yrs or so. That's not unrealistic, it's knowing what you are/can be. This season was mediocre by LSU standards; we made (and hosted) a regional, and won the SEC tourney. That's bare minimum based on what we've built here.

Off the top of my head these are teams that should have similar expectations to the Tigers.

Florida State
North Carolina
South Carolina
Florida
Vanderbilt
Cal State fullerton
Miami
Virginia
Texas
Oregon State

These are the traditional power houses in college baseball. I may be leaving a couple out.

There are other teams who are very good who aren't the traditional power houses but can have a good stretch

Indiana
TCU
Rice
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
UCLA
UC Irvine
Houston

I could go on and on

I think you get my point I hope.

College baseball is very competitive. This season there were no clear favorites like last year. LSU Vandy and UNC were the heavy weights at the top of the country. Vandy didn't make it out of their regional, but LSUs record setting season wasn't a better record than Vandy. The simple point is to expect LSU to make it to Omaha every single season, when there are probably about 30 teams or so who are all good enough to make it to Omaha if not more, is unrealistic.

make it to omaha 50% of the time is pretty impressive
win a championship 2 or 3 times in a decade is pretty impressive.
be a national seed 50% or more of the time is pretty impressive.

this I except a national championship every season is just not realistic in any sport. (unless your Alabama in football
