reg season or tourney. hasn't won either.

that has been many's argument. she had a loaded team that could not get it done in 3 straight trips to OKC.

It depends on who you listen to. If you listen to the ones who say we’ve improved in the later part of the season because we beat the SEC bottom dwellers, then maybe we have a shot but in reality when we play someone with a pulse we revert to the same old, same old . Pitching falls apart, cant hit etc, etc.
I thought the regional would give me more hope but watching how the ACC performed, that hope was dashed some.
Here’s to hoping I’m wrong

So basically unless they beat a top 5 team they suck? Who cares about winning a SEC title, I assure you Lane ain’t up in his office trying to figure out how to win out of date titles..

What other title has she won? Did I miss one? What’s their record Against SR teams? That should be a good indicator.

Once every 8 or 9 years would be great.
Expectation should be every 4-5 years. What about you?

Top 15 team with a chance just like this week, eventually if you keep getting the chances you will get back. I see national media all over Courtney Deifel saying how great she is but she has never been to WS and she been at Arkansas a couple yrs less than CBT has been at LSU

You sure Deifel is the best example? Where were the programs when each took over? Which was more relevant? I know she hasn’t made the WCWS but damn man, she’s got 2 SEC overall titles and a tournament title. Tournament title may be outdated but if you think the overall title isn’t relevant……
If we’re comparing, Mike White has only been at Texas for a few years. What has he done?

Less than 50 likes and only reply so far is to ban him from events. I may have to consider canceling all donations and take giving money to a scholarship out of my will.

Nattys is the title that counts and there has been like 4 teams in the last 10 yrs that have won 1 so according to you the rest are failures and should be fired..Weekly fired, Lombardi fired, Ford fired, Deifel fired, Tarr fired, Gajewski fired, Baldwin fired..all of them

I just argued that Deifel may not be the best example for you, no nattys, 2 SEC titles, keeper. Weekley, SEC coach of the year 4 times, 3 SEC titles 3 Tournament tiltles, keeper. Tarr, natty, 8WCWS, keeper. Gajewski, 5WCWS in 9 seasons, big 12 title over Ok, baggage…on the fence. Ford, way to early Baldwin, same, Lombardi, way to early but another regional like this….fired.
Good ole Beth, no WCWS since 2017, no SEC titles of any kind but hey, she does have 2 Sunbelt titles. I guess we can hang our hat on that.
Let’s celebrate Mediocrity at its finest and while we’re at it, let’s push our kids to get C’s in school.

over Deifel


I wouldn’t go to trying to dismiss Courtney as a great coach. You can defend multiple coaches at once.

She is a good coach no doubt, I was simply pointing out that she in over 10 yrs hasn’t been to the ws..the longest streak of any sec coach that has that tenure
