LSU fans don’t realize how good we have it here

Time after time, we get generational talent, in every sport, to put on the purple and gold. Yet most of their time here is met with bitching and crying, mostly about trivial shite, but still… LSU fans have had it better than most for the longest time, and I don’t think they realize it. Look at the talent we’ve had come through Baton Rouge over the last decade….

I would argue that we do in fact know how good we have it here. Look at the talent that has come through in all sports and now look at the trophy case. Are you telling me that Football and Baseball have not underachieved based on talent that has come through?

And what fan base do you know of "realizes how good they have it" and never bitches on an online forum?

I rest my fricking case


You have zero perspective of the national scene. Hundreds of schools WISH they had the success that LSU has. Whether it’s being perennial contenders in almost EVERY sport or whether it’s getting top flight talent to Baton Rouge….. we have a lot to be thankful for, yet people like yourself will never see it that way

Congrats!

I would love to see him work a complete game in 9 innings but the way he pitches with so many strikeouts his pitch count is usually too high to extend that long.

Yeah, I did the math, he is averaging 16.5 pitches per inning. With that average, if he threw a complete game he would throw 148 pitches. Still, I hope he can limit his pitch count in a couple games and give us a complete game or 2 on his way out.

Unless we face a super aggressive offense where they just swing on the first pitch hes not going to have a low enough pitch count to make it through 9 but I would love it if that did happen and he was able to work a complete game.

Glad I got a chance to see him in person in RRock.
On track to have a great MLB Career

Nothing against Crews but if I’m Pittsburg holding the first pick of the draft I’m picking Skenes!
