Yep Junior High is wearing oven mitts, our team had one guy wearing his oven mitt in his back pocket and it stuck out over his shoulder blade he was so small , they wouldn’t let him bat with it in his pocket. Every sport is When in Rome Do as……….

There's a lot of divergence between their time at LSU:
- Les inherited a full cupboard. PM had a lot of work to do when he arrived.
- PM had us as a national seed six straight seasons. Only Stanford has matched that. Les never achieved such top-end consistency.
- PM pretty much owned his direct competition (Van Horn, Bianco, State).

Glad to see that Little Scumbag is stinking it up as expected. Couldnt happen to a Bigger DB!

Plain and simple he should have been fired here in 2012. When he came out and admitted that after the 2009 Natty that is was common for him to not even go to practices so he could go do appearances for $$. If you remember in 2010 we had to win the SEC Tourney to get into postseason and missed postseason completely in 2011.

If Paul wanted to coach again that badly, he shoulda gone to a nobody-cares mid major program..... Like Mizzou.

CPM was a bad fit for LSU. Just like he’s a bad fit for USCe.

If CPM was as focused and driven as Jay he might have earned 4 CWS titles in his time at LSU. I'm just thankful Jay chose to come to LSU and he and his staff has the team ready to go.
