I'd start Schmidt or Noot. Bring Cowan in whenever needed like normal. Keep Anderson and Eyanson on Friday and Saturday.

I think hiring Earley and keeping the roster for this season was an okay move. This roster could have been great even with no coach like some teams have done in the past in 1 year stints. It didn't happen. They wouldn't have been better with a better coach and a worse roster. See Mainieri at South Carolina. If they keep Earley after this season, they are truly idiots. Laviolette is gone anyway. Prager is gone anyway. Others are gone anyway. What's returning wouldn't be a national title contender with any coach. They need to cut bait and pay a real coach. Who cares if Grahovac leaves. Who cares if any of what's left leaves.

Arkansas was throwing the bottom end of their bullpen anyway. Had no affect on availability today.

I think Florida would get in with 12 with a top 20 RPI. Everyone else will need 13. 13 is a lock now. I think 13 is the new 14 and 12 is the new 13. It isn't just the SEC with 16. It's the entire elimination of the Pac 12. What this is doing is taking the bids from the former Big Ten and partly Big 12 because the 4 west coast teams are dominating the Big Ten and the 2 Arizona schools are locks from the Big 12.

The SEC looked very good for 14 bids until A&M collapsed against Missouri. A&M will probably need to go 3-1 now which includes 3 at Georgia.

The other 13 teams are essentially locks at this point. Mississippi State and Kentucky probably need 1 more win.

Even under this idea, I'd start Evans today and Schmidt on Thursday...

Lack? We have 1 stud starter and 3 guys out the pen who are pretty reliable. Plus Beck and Brown if really needed. There is no lack...

ETA: I agree Brown won't pitch. But some of that is due to the fact that we don't lack lefties...

Probably not. The good thing is that I don't think there's any team in the country better than any of LSU's 7 national championship teams.

Well they don't have to be at 34 in the fall. I'm sure they'll still be close to 40 for the fall. They'll probably have even more post-fall roster trimming.

It's always weird how hot girls are with douchey guys there. I always wonder if the girls know or if they just think it's all normal too...

I disagree. If he would have already been a starter here pitching like this he wouldn't have left. He left to play. He chose Auburn because he's from there and to play with his brother. I'm not saying he didn't have every opportunity here. It's 100% his fault that he didn't have a bigger role here.
