What's wrong with being a UCF fan?

My team just mercy ruled Tulane 2 days ago, defeated Miami in Corale Gables and fell short of defeating UF by 1 in Gainesville. Coach Rooney pulled in a consensus top 10 baseball recruiting class last year.

From SadUCFKnight on 3/7/10 ( LINK):

quote:

1. He can recruit, no question.
2. His players lack fundamental baseball skills and suck. We got swept by Central Michigan 3-0 at home.
3. The real success behind LSU baseball wasn't Rooney, it was Coach M.
4. If Rooney doesn't get it together soon, he will be canned in a year or so.

It is more difficult to replace a coach who had as much sucess as Bertman had than some one who has a less sucess. If they had a national search to replace Bertman I doubt Smoke would have been the next coach. If memory serves me the last tour for smoke was his third or 4th time he coach at some capacity at LSU so he should have known what it takes to be sucessful at that level.

You never want to be the guy following a legend. You want to be the next guy after that. Once Les is gone, LSU will be able to get back near the top.




Les Miles is probably the worst example to support your position.

ULM not ULL Ben Sheets can make any Coach look good. With great coaching beat the cubans. Not bad at Brewers.

how about in the cws you stupid frick?

let me give you a fricking clue. the fat cheese fry eating mother fricker was 0fer in omaha, lost in the supers to rice and got knocked out of our regional by rice before he shite every where and missed the post season. gtfo out with this stupid shite of smoke better than pm.

pm's first season he had to dig out of smokes mess, then his 2nd we got to the cws and win a fricking and the 3rd we are national champs. we had a bad month shite happens but LSU baseball will be back.

you can go ahead and get off the bandwagon and be a ucf fan.

NO ONE could follow skip. ever. 5 ncs in 9 years, come on.

no college baseball coach can compare with that stretch run. ought to be a statue of that man, in fact.

And the talent level would have never fallen to '06 levels.

Ok, I get why PM is better than Smoke. What I don't get is why PM has a losing sec record this yr. I thought the program would at least be respectable after the nc.

No one answered my question about Smoke losing a ton of top 3 recruits going to the pros. I never said Smoke was better, I said if Coach M followed Ski0p istead of Smoke.
