If by "almost won," you mean never had a lead, then sure, they almost won.

Two grammatical mistakes in two short posts, and you're (your, as you would say) calling them dumb?

Assuming they were trying to win the series, it was actually a pretty good strategy. Houston and Stony showed that we don't have much of an advantage in game 3.

You can't compete at an SEC level,
If the delusion continues by your obsessed fan base to be the "University of Louisiana", then do something of significance at minimum to at least separate yourselves from the "University of Louisiana at Monroe" first. Haven't done that.
Yall plain and simply aren't big enough for that. Haven't offered enough "Preponderance of Evidence" or met the burden of proof that you belong. Not even close.
Then petition to become members of the Southeastern Conference. If you want be a Big Boy "University Of" school, then you have to compete in a Big Boy athletic Conference, like all the other Southern "University Of" schools do.
Currently, there are too many four year colleges in Louisiana. Only LSU, Tulane, La.Tech, Grambling and Southern should be. Consider yourselves lucky that UL-L exists in one of the most poltically corrupt states in the country. That's the only reason yall haven't even been demoted to "Southwest Louisiana Junior College in Lafayette" status, along with UL-M, Northwestern State, McNeese and Southeastern.
Now, get off my lawn and if yall come back, I'll call the Cops!............

Wonder if ULL fans are doubting the strategy to spot us game 1
I doubt the coach used the word spot when he came up with the game plan. He just didn't want to pitch his best pitcher against the best pitcher in the country. I'm pretty sure the game I watch didn't remind me of a team that was spotting anyone anything. LSU was just the better team but it was still a pretty sound strategy.

How the hell is bringing the game to a tie and never holding a lead at any point in either game "almost winning"?

You might make fun of this strategy but he almost stole game one with it and was tied into the 7th of game two as well. Robicheaux played to win the regional it didn't workout but not because of his decisions but because LSU was just better. He is a heck of a baseball coach and ULL should be proud of their performance.

I would question any coach who thought it prudent to concede a game to a superior team, on their home field, in a best 2 of 3 formatted series.
I doubt if he was really conceding game one but coaches generally throw their ace against the other team's ace (see Friday night in the SEC) in order to provide their team with its best chance of winning

I understand the strategy of laying in wait to pounce in game 3, but in a best of three series there may not be a game 3. You can't hold back. The winning strategy is to develop at least two strong starters and then use them to try to win game 1 and 2. If ULL has another ace which it didn't use, it wasted him and lost any chance of winning the series.

He knew his team was not as talented as LSU so why waste a great pitching performance against LSU's ace? He figured Lange has been consistently good all year and Poche has not. Ill take my chances with my ace against Poche then third game will be a toss up. I think it was a solid strategy. It didn't work but I understand his thought process and I think just like him that was his only shot at winning the series.
FYI: Leger is a freshman and if he would have pitched Saturday it would not have been on full rest. He pitched the Sunday before. That probably had something to do with Rob holding him back as well.

The better team always wins. One day you'll quit trying to compare yourselves with elite teams and be happy for what you have, a good Sun Belt program. You can't compete at an SEC level, the last 3 years have proved it. That's okay, most of the rest of the country can't either. Your 85 mph lefty isn't as good as the SEC's 91 mph lefty. SEC rosters are filled with elite players 1-25, while Sun Belt rosters can have good players and the occasional elite player. But that okay, be thankful for what you have.
He never came close to comparing the teams. You went on a rant saying stuff that he never said. Thats why i dont believe half my stupid friends when they say shite about ul...it never gets said and the imaginary "they" gets used like the while fan base is saying it. If one pwrson says it doesnt mean everyone feels that way. Yiu have jumped on every ul fan with the passion of them raping you and you want revenge.
You like many read that "they"said something and you see it even when its not there. Its pathetic

What's funny is Lafayette's best chance to win the series would have been to not fall behind in game 1 and steal it. That's why you throw your ace in game 1. Anticipating what might happen got them beat. If they don't give up three in the early innings, they might have made it a series.
So call it what it was. On paper, it looked like it might be a smart move, but in reality, the move was stupid and cost them the series.

Illinois had the same strategy and they were the home team and national seed.
They got shut out Saturday night by Fulmer. They made the right choice too.
Now they have Jay with the season on the line. Better than wasting them in a shutout loss.

Hey but don't let facts get in the way of piling on a coach because I'm sure you are way smarter than he is..
Bottom line LSU was just more experienced and a better team. Coaching didn't win or lose this series for ULL.
