So much fail in your post.


Why? It's been 6 years since we won it all and every year there is some excuse as to why we don't win another. Since the stacked 09 team LSU has not made a deep run, best finish was 5th. I know winning a championship is a very hard thing to do but LSU gets top talent every year and often gets put out by lesser talented teams.

This years team does seem to have "IT", I like our chances.

How so? I was noting that the made it to Omaha. Regardless of what you do in Omaha, making it there is undeniable proof that you had a damn strong season!


I agree, but I was not saying otherwise.

The Kansas City Royals won the World Series last year but yet they lost almost half (42%) of their games in the regular season.

Just curious, how many LSU baseball games have you attended this season?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but what does this matter? I see people use this line of questioning all the time on this board. Just because people may not be in proximity to Baton Rouge, doesn't mean they are any less of a fan or less knowledgeable about the sport and this team.

I disagree.

It is an obvious consistent pattern that posters on here who don't regularly attend games make the majority of stupid, uninformed statements about the players and coaches on the Rant.

If you disagree, that's okay with me.....

Most reasonable college baseball fans would see a CWS appearance as a "deep run", but each to our own.

I certainly disagree with you. I for one haven't been to a game yet this year, based on a lack of disposable income and proximity to Baton Rouge, combined with working weekends. However, I have watched on TV or listened on the radio to every single one of them. Does that mean I have made stupid, uninformed statements about players or coaches? Not at all. Attendance has no correlation on knowledge.

The ones that are making the stupid, uninformed statements, are making them on their own accord. I've sat by plenty of uninformed and ignorant "fans" in the past. Being in the stadium doesn't make someone smart, just as being in a classroom doesn't make someone a professor.

I've missed one home game in the last five seasons plus I've attended at least one away series, all of the LSU games at the SEC tournament, all of our games in Omaha and the Wally Pontiff Classic during those years.

Did you win your guarantee??

Not every post you read on the rant is authored by the same individual.

You are 100% correct, but I was talking about the general consensus among a big group of posters. Not all, but a good bit.

Nope, but believe what you want.

I didn't call BS on you, frankly because I don't care one way or the other... your posting quality on here is below that of posters who don't even know where Alex Box Stadium is.
