re: Rabalais “CWS less summer leaves many questions about LSU, most are bad

The Smoke decline is not what we remember. The guy had one bad season, before that he had two trips to Omaha and next to last season finished first in SEC west. He just had the misfortune of following Skip.

He did follow Skip, when the program was truly flying high, and proceeded to miss Omaha 3/5 years and going 0-4 the two times he went.

I guess Mainieri got the benefit of the doubt in 2010-11 after winning the title in 2009, but those teams went on the road for a regional one year and then didn't even make the tournament the next.

This LSU team won 17+ games in a division and conference that placed 3 and 4 teams, respectively, in Omaha, hosted a Regional, and lucked up into hosting a Super.

The sky has not yet fallen, but there are obvious criticism that need to be addressed.
