Omaha?
This program has trouble figuring out if they should turn left or right on nicholson to go in the direction of Omaha

Mainieri and Miles are one of the same.
One of the coaches you mention tried to evolve with the landscape.

You are the only one that mentions this at all.

Why didn't we receive our honorary seed in 2010?

Making the ncaa tourney in basketball isnt an achievement for lsu basketball, is it? Winning the bcs championship in college football isnt an achievement?

But why? If you don't really have to earn it, they could just give it to LSU. We would generate money from hosting, instead of UCLA, where five people showed up to watch the games.

Great! So we should still host this year! Record doesn't mean shite!

Projected attendance at regional locations hasn't been a qualfying factor to host for almost 10 years.

That's my point

ahhhhh, Kentucky is straight raking. We were lucky to get one.
Now if we lose to Bama, that would be bad.

Please, Please, PLEASE stop trying to compare Football to Baseball. In no way, shape or form are the two related. Period.

A teams conference record weighs heavily on seeding. RPI weighs heavily on seeding which record helps to improve. You couldn't be more wrong.

Now we're down to as LSU basball fans hoping LSU doesn't lose to the really shitty teams. LSU sucks right now in baseball, this year isn't going to get any better.

quote:not a valid analogy because hosting (national seeds) is not a part of the basketball process. you people keep hanging on to hosting a super as an accomplishment and it's not.
Making the ncaa tourney in basketball isnt an achievement for lsu basketball
getting a certain seed in the tourney is absolutely NOT an accomplishment. even making the tourney is subjective and often controversial. winning a tourney game is absolutely an accomplishment and that is the standard that elite programs measure themselves by. not what seed they got.
quote:again, not analogous and even that has caveats. hence the reason why the bcs was scrapped for the playoff.
Winning the bcs championship in college football isnt an achievement?

quote:that's just it, no one "earns" it. it is given based on a subjective observation of regular season record. why are we talking about regular season record as the measuring stick for the premier program in a playoff sport? it's just dumb.
If you don't really have to earn it
quote:you realize this is not a part of winning and losing right? being a host doesn't automatically get you in to the cws.
generate money from hosting
quote:the obligatory strawman. i said it doesn't dictate it. it does have an indirect bearing. there is an obvious and clear difference. if you don't directly control the outcome, then you didn't accomplish it. winning at the cws is something coaches directly control. yet, we've gone on and on for two weeks praising mainieri for being voted a national seed because he racked up some regular season wins. is that the best we've got? is that maineiri's best claim right now?
Record doesn't mean shite!

Well, as of right now they both suck, so there's that.

There is only one person whose career at LSU should end ASAP....

Mainieri has literally admitted to coasting before. He said he got lazy after the national championship. What makes you think he won't do it again?

It's not a stretch to say the end of both Mainieri and Miles careers resemble each other.
