Would a win tomorrow be enough?

Why not? Because we walked 13 batters last night? Don't take into account last nights game. We can easily beat these guys

ETA: It all depends on how we take this loss. I'll let you know tomorrow night

If we eliminate Florida State and move into the "final 4," would you be satisfied even if we go on to lose to OSU? Honestly, I don't see us beating them once let alone twice. Obviously I want us to win it all--who doesn't?--but a top 4 finish would be the furthest we've made it since 09, and I think I'd be okay if that's all we could manage. Just my opinion. Thoughts?

Not good enough. This is a good team, when they put it all together, they can be great. You don't get to Omaha and call going 2-2 "satisfying". I'm happy we're in Omaha again but this team needs to flip a switch and get it going again. It'll be disappointing and surely not "enough" to eliminate FSU and then fall to OSU again.

Don't walk 13 batters, and last nights game probably only ends 4-1 and is much easier to swallow.

This team can do it, lets see how they handle the adversity.

That kind of beatdown is hard to recover from mentally. CPM had better get into those boys heads with the quickness.

I still think we can beat them twice. They put up 13 runs on us......YOU DON'T FORGET THAT! Guess what? Those runs are gone and spent by Or St, but not forgotten.

I just hope we don't look past Fla State. That is my biggest concern right now.

As much as I want to see a CWS win, LSU is ranked #4 so a top 4 finish would technically be meeting expectations.

Uh, yes because we won't be eliminated

Personally I think it's a lot easier to get over a game like this than losing by a walkoff. If it was any other sport, I'd agree with you but baseball is a game that you can get dominated one day and turn the tables the next. Our big problem now is not last night's beatdown but the lack of pitching depth, especially if Walker can't return. They need to let that game go and get focused on the next one. I think we come back strong tomorrow. What happens after that is anybody's guess.

Exactly. Rarely does a team win after walking that many batters. After the run we've had, we were kinda due for a clunker. OSU is due for one as well. Hopefull we get to see them again.

Enough, in the sense that this has been a very good year, whether they win it all or not. Enough, in the sense that idiots calling for Manieri to be fired are idiots.

Our boys were whipped yesterday, and they are down. Hopefully they have the internal fortitude to go out and play lights out against FSU and come away with a win. Obviously, they must take one game at a time. It is reasonable to believe Poche will do well and pitch deep into the game.

If they're fortunate enough to win that game, then it's Lange against OSU. With Lange you always have a chance. I agree, beating OSU once, much less twice, would be a tall order. I'd say, if we haven't burned up Hess in the process of beating FSU and OSU, start him in the 2nd OSU game. Who knows? But first things first, focus on FSU.
