re: Told Yall Last Year That We Should Hire Bianco

So you are penalizing lsu coaches because of what the greatest coach in college baseball history did in a time when there were like 15 teams trying to win?

Seems to ignore reality.

Arkansas has equal attendance if not better. They have a better stadium and fan experience. Theyve been good at baseball for decades now

No, I literally just said the program has been sustained through multiple coaches after Skip

I didn’t make the comparison. Can you be at least a tiny bit honest?

I quoted you.

8 teams make the College World Series. Half of them this year—including the NC—were not only in the SEC, but the SEC WEST. And 2 of the other 4 will be in the SEC in the next couple of years. And last year’s NC is also in the SEC WEST. And Tennessee is building a monster and had a team that a lot of people thought was the best of all time. Didn’t even make it to Omaha. South Carolina and Vanderbilt have both won 2 in the past 10ish years, and Florida has won 1 and is a perennial contender. Arkansas has probably had the best program the last few years and were a dropped pop up from winning one themselves. All SEC teams. The shite is hard.

Jay can get us in position regularly. I’ll concede that it looks like we’re trending to the point where no other school should be in that position more than us over the next decade or so. Maybe Tennessee. But Jay Johnson, Tony Vitella, Dave Van Horn, Mike Bianco—all the great coaches don’t win National Championships. It takes the Dylan DuLucias of the world to go out and shove it up Arkansas’s arse for 9 innings. Or the Elkos to go 4-5 with a home run in the championship series. Or freshman Brett Laxtons to tell 16 Wichita State guys to sit the frick down in the championship game. Or Lyle Moutons and Gary Hymels to both hit 5 home runs in the series bashing everybody to death. Or the Warren fricking Morrises to come up down and with 2 outs, after missing most of the year with a broken bone in his hand and walk it off with his 1st home run of the season. Every championship has those dudes, and they’re rarely the Golden Spikes winners. Coaches build programs and put their players in positions to succeed. Great coaches do it more often. But the dudes still have to go out and do the damn thing.

One more concession—with our history/brand, even though there’s infinitely more parity than there was when Skip was here, and the commitment we’ve seemed to make—I would probably be a bit disappointed if we’ve only won 1 NC 8 years from now. But I realize a lot of that is because I’m a fan too and susceptible to unrealistic expectations. Regardless, the next decade is on a trajectory to being a lot of fun. And I’m not gonna let my enjoyment of the journey be affected by them.

That doesn’t stop her. I’ve seen several of her posts quoted directly as receipts and she just keeps calling those people liars.

It’s weird.

It happened within 10 years dude. The standard you’re arguing is that 2 titles in 10 years is unreasonable, South Carolina did that no matter your spin.

So your spin is that we should expect our coach to do something two coaches have done the last twenty years, each time they did it, they were the only coach to do it in that 10 year time frame.

1 out of 299 coaches have done it each of the last two decades. That's 0.003% of Division 1 head coaches each of the last two decades.

Is that not unreasonable to expect?

It's hard to believe how ridiculous you are. There's a difference between hoping for something and expecting it. You "expect" LSUs coach to match what you hope will happen and you also "expect" the more reasonable people in the room to "expect" it too.

My spin? South Carolina won their first of back to back titles in 2010, that’s not 20 years ago.

Stop lying, you said I ignored what JJs done this summer but in reality this is actually what I said.

Maybe go back a read what I posted. I didn’t say anything about you ignoring what he’s done, I said imagine being as upset as you are given what he’s done recently.



Aren’t you the one who keeps bitching about people putting words in your mouth? Maybe you should take a look inward.

Again you make shite up because you didn’t actually read the convo. Not once have a criticized JJ in this thread. I asked a question about being able to have honest discussions involving the baseball program mostly because of idiots like you. I just exposed your first lie about that and you won’t find any comment to the contrary.
