If all of those teams jumped off a bridge, are you saying it would be ok for LSU to jump off that same bridge?


No, but it’s ample evidence that the margins for error no longer exist for any program, no matter how good or how well backed. There will always be portal turnover now and top teams will usually lose multiple players to the draft and eligibility. It’s harder now than it has ever been to be consistently good to great.

Again, it’s not an excuse for failure, but it absolutely is a sign that recalibration of how team building is approached is necessary.

This will start to become the norm with new teams in Omaha every year. This will be 3rd CWS in a row with no return teams.


Not making Omaha every years is unacceptable!!! We’re LSU!!! Fire Yeskie!!! Jay on hotseat!!!

Rabble rabble rabble

The landscape has changed, and it’s swung massively in favor of parity. Make a run and be behind in recruiting, or flame out and get a head start. Can’t have both anymore.

What don’t you understand about the portal window, in the “portal era”, is exactly what makes it so hard for teams to reload?

You make a run, you’re sacrificing recruiting for it. Simple as that.

the biggest difference in my mind is - outside of maybe Arkansas - none of the rest of those fan bases really GAF....anywhere near what the LSU fan base does.

such a dumb, dumb comment made by a true simpleton. The OP was just pointing out the disadvantage the current portal window puts on the playoff teams. Anyone with a scintilla of reasoning skills could have figured that one out.

They gotta do something about the portal


Forget the window, its the freaking portal that is destroying all sports. Instant eligibility remains the recipe for disaster and instability.
