re: Skip spoke after Paul

At the end of the day Milazzo and Travinski had the same batting averaged in SEC reg season play. Milazzo had a higher OB%.
Neither kid hit their weight.

Tim Corbin has 100% done it better in the last 15 years. He has two titles.

With the ability to fill a roster with scholarship players, hence the advantage I spoke of.

So do you not have any standards or what?

You are just the extremist on the other side of the people with unattainable expectations. Both of y’all are crazy

Context is key here. Skip coached when 10 teams across the country took the sport seriously. CPM coached when 10 teams in the SEC took it seriously. It’s not apples to apples.

LSU is baseball royalty.

Tell that to Tennessee, Arkansas, Vandy, Florida, USC, Ole Miss, and MSU. None of them care. They all take their programs seriously and aren’t living in the past.

Right. They flew past LSU while Paul was chatting with his 30 year old son in the dugout.

---

That the best you got? You do realize that means they flew past everyone else too if that was the case? It will never be just one or two good teams in the conference anymore. Get over it. No matter who the new coach is, it will be a challenge to stay at the top every year.

You deserve Johnny Jones, Les Miles, and Paul Mainieri for life. Because that’s good enough for you.

Go be a fan somewhere else where expectations are low.

You ought to be embarrassed that your arguments are so weak that you always have to resort to this type of argument.

My expectations aren’t low. My expectations are realistic. If you think LSU is going to be #1 in the SEC and the nation every year with a new coach then you will end up being disappointed. It ain’t gonna happen. Other programs aren’t about to bow down to us because we are LSU. It will be a challenge every year. If you can’t take that then you go be a fan somewhere else of a team in a conference that has no one to compete against. You seem like that’s what you’re looking for.

Vanderbilt?

Roster full of scholarship players. Give LSU that type of advantage over everyone else and then we can talk. If Vandy doesn’t go to the CWS or have the top recruiting class every year then there’s a problem.

The only teams that I remember being great in college baseball ca. 1980-1984 were:

1. Texas
2. Oklahoma State
3. Mississippi State
4, Florida State
5. USCw
6. Arizona State
7. U of Miami
8. Cal State Fullerton
9. Wichita State

Today: you have 6 legit teams just in the SEC that can make it to Omaha.

1986-2000: you could buy a six team Regional if you were a top 10 team with fan support and good facilities. Home crowd was an advantage. Win the regional, advance directly to Omaha.

There was a lot of failure in Mainieris tenure here. But there was a lot of success to. Personally I think he should have won at least one more title, but I also realize that if you’re someone who complains that he won 1 in 15 you would complain that he won 2 in 15 as well.

It’s kind of what sucks about the next hire. When all is said and done that guy can be the 2nd best LSU baseball coach of all time, sandwiched between Skip and Mainieri, but it still wouldn’t be good enough for this fan base. Unrealistic expectations.
