But what a decade it was...

2 football national titles
2 baseball national titles
1 basketball final four

Ahhh yes the good old days

The les thread brought out the tards.

I honestly think the CWS was a surprise to the coaching staff. From the way practices are being run and the focus of them, it looks like CPM and co. realize what changes are necessary to win in TDA but still win in the SEC. I forget sometimes that that was the first time LSU set foot on that field for a meaningful game. It was a wakeup call.

i think this team will win MAYBE 45 games. too many losses at the plate, too much uncertainty with our staff.

who's the frontrunner for the closer spot?

Katz was the biggest loss. Rhymes wasn't as consistent as before. Ross and JaCoby were mediocre at the plate (hcb weeps). Hale brings some power, but the game isn't about that anymore. Speed and line drives.

Maybe the bullpen, but with Nola as an anchor, it's no different than other years. We have some really good young talent. Trust in Dunn, my friend.

We may not have one this year. :|

PM said at last month's Coaches Committee that he realizes now he made an incorrect assumption at the CWS that our players would not have stars in their eyes being in Omaha because they play in front of big crowds all the time in the SEC at in Hoover.

He said when he and the coaches did a postmortum on the CWS they decided next time he will emphasize the importance of ignoring the bright lights, crowds and fan + media adulation in Omaha rather than down playing them to the players.

Oddly though, our players spread out their hot streaks and droughts. When JaCoCo was whiffing, Katz was on fire. When Katz cooled off, Jacoby heated up.

We will definitely miss the bullpen from the last two seasons. The last two years we were downright nasty in the 8th and 9th innings. Who knows what this year will bring.
