re: Stop beating up on Coach Paul Mainieri

I've said this numerous times on this board but there is no other program in the entire country besides South Carolina that had had a better past 7 seasons than LSU has. Criticism/debate for certain moves is perfectly reasonable but if you put emotion aside for a second, you'll realize we have one of the best coaches in the country.

fwiw, a lot of their fans have been jumping off a ledge wanting to fire their new HC already too for not making it to Omaha the past 2 seasons. I guess winning brings out the unrealistic stupidity in a lot of people. They were raving about him prior to Tanner leaving and scared to death he'd go somewhere else. Now he's missed the CWS twice and he's garbage apparently. Nevermind all the veteran leadership they lost from those CWS teams.

I also wonder what people would be saying if we finished the season how we'd been playing up to the last 2 weeks instead of getting hot, got sent to Lafayette, and knocked out in convincing fashion. Would the melt have been worse?
