re: LSU hasnt won a CWS game in 6 (SIX) years.

the difference between CPMs last 5 years and Smokes last 5 years is that, he is trending upwards.

No, he's not. It's CWS one year (win the NC!), lose in a regional the next, miss the tournament altogether one year, then lose in a super, make the CWS again (2&Q), then lose in a regional again. Make the CWS again, another 2&Q. In the last seven seasons, he's finished as national champion and out of the NCAA tournament and literally everywhere in between. That's not trending anywhere, and if it were, it's not upward given that the high point is at the beginning.

if he continues to put together Top 5 recruiting classes, top 8 seeds and Omaha appearances.

What the hell good does it do to be a high seed if we fail every singe year to finish as high as we're seeded? Or to have top 5 recruiting classes if they don't perform to that level? Omaha appearances are cool, I guess, but two trips in six years with zero wins is hardly going to blow anyone away.
