Show me where I made any kind of irrational or off-base statement trying to defend Alleva. Our athletics across the board are better than they ever have been. We have improved or are improving every major facility and are also working on the smaller ones as we speak. The athletic department basically prints money, so much that they donate approx. 4 million to the academic end of LSU every year. Sorry that all of this leaves me feeling somewhat satisfied. And "in love with Alleva"? Grow the frick up. Using strong words and making cogent arguments in favor of Alleva doesn't equate to being in love with him or taking any criticism of him as a personal attack. Baseless attacks of any nature annoy me.

As far as Mainieri, the last three seasons have ended unceremoniously and disappointingly. No denying that. That said, I'd hardly qualify getting a top 8 seed three years in a row as resting on his laurels.

edit: I misunderstood your post. so it changes directed at all who think CPM is a bad coach.

you can't ignore regular season success, LSU last season had the best record in the HISTORY OF LSU BASEBALL. Let that sink in for a second.

LSU had 11 losses in 57 games. LSU won an outstanding 83% of their games in the toughest conference in the country. No Crappy coach could ever accomplish something like this.

We got beat by the national champions and the #1 seed in Omaha. Sure we should have one both games, there is no denying that, but that was one of the greatest teams LSU has ever seen, they just got cold and unlucky at the exact wrong time.

2012 wasn't to shabby either. LSU came off their two worst seasons only be overshadowed by CPMs first after Smoke left the team in ashes. We came back to win by a tie break the SEC.

Ok we have had some bad luck in the post season, but CPM is sending this program in the right direction.
