We lost to them in '09. How did that season turn out?

The only thing more meaningless than college baseball polls in February is college basketball polls anytime.

Lets review the facts LSU did not come to play serious baseball... juco team did come to play and kicked LSU's arse. LSU has a passive aggressive coach that cant fire up a lethargic bunch of snot nosed kids. Maybe he should send them to timeout... yea that what our physiology today advises. If they didnt run 5 miles before practice today he needs to be fired.


You, my friend, are an arse.

Point is, I think it is worth the effort to bring attention to poor journalism. It is clear that the author does not understand college baseball and how it works, and as others who follow him more closely than I have noticed, he seems to take little digs and jabs when he can at LSU.


Players don't trust him. He takes what they say and twists it. So, they don't give him anything. It is one reason what he writes is so meaningless. I don't understand why he would alienate them, unless of course, he doesn't know he is doing it. So, I hope he is reading this. Maybe, he will listen to the Rant and make change.

I remember he had to apologize to one of the pitchers last year on Twitter because he misquoted them and made it sound like the player was calling out his teammates.

It's frustrating for Tiger Baseball fans to be sure, but take solace in the fact that the last time they lost to Nicholls St. they won the CWS. They also lost to Mississippi Valley State that year. MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STATE people. They'll be just fine. Take another shot of 1800 and relax.

He also retweets every one of his own tweets. I'm amazed he has any followers.

But does the fact that college basketball is way more popular and relevant on a national level than college baseball make college basketball polls more relevant than college baseball?

To explain my point: A handball league may decide a championship based on a poll, but a college basketball poll would still mean more because the sport means so much more.

No but his job should be to have a clue about the sport he's covering.

I think he is a decent sports writer. Is he the best? No, but he isn't bad. So many people in this board think the advocates job is to promote LSU no matter what. It isn't, that duty belongs to the sports information office.
