Our goals are to make it to Omaha and win the national title every year, but that doesn't mean every season we don't is a waste. I know I enjoyed a shite ton of games over the last 3 years even without a national title.

I can agree with this.
I was happy with the success of this team, despite losing three great offensive weapons. Katz Rhymes and Jones (he did underachieve, but he was one of the most athletic 2B in the country last year) We also lost Cotton, practically 2 starting pitchers (one left, one fell apart). The fact that we were still a top 8 national seed is very impressive for a team who well going into the season would have been lucky to host.
Note: Yes the end of the season sucked, but almost every team will have a bad ending with the exception of a handful of teams. If LSU went 1-2 in Omaha I bet people would be saying this was a bad showing we should have won it all.

Wasn't this the first regional we hosted and didn't make it to the super regional round? If not, it's on a very short list. (just looked it up, it's the 2nd).

Going back to 1986, this season (postseason):
is ahead of 1988, 2006, 2007, and 2011- those seasons didn't get into postseason at all.
is ahead of 2010, where they went 1-2 at another regional.
Is even with 2005, where they went 2-2 and Rice took our regional.
Is behind all other seasons-
before super-regional play, we at least made the finals of the regional (which is the equivalent of making the super-regional round). That happened twice with Fullerton, here in BR. All other seasons with only regionals, we made the CWS (10 seasons).
since the super-regional round came into existance (1999), we've advanced to the super regional round 10 seasons.
Cliff notes- since 1986, we've had 28 seasons. We've had 20 seasons that were clearly better than this year, 2 more that you can make a valid argument were better, 2 about on the same level, and 4 that were clearly worse.
That may not be failure, but it isn't success either
