So you’re saying 4 out of our first 9 natty teams have lost to McNeese? Pretty wild when you think about it.

So 50%?

I believe they scored 4 runs on two hits and both were singles. How else do you explain it?

They won’t see any pitcher more than once and that will impact the final score and limit damage. That shitty inning could cost them the game.

I actually got that from one of the former Astros outfielders Jake Marisnick. That’s what they used to call him.

this is absolutely where you’re not only wrong but just another bot. HOW did the he Astros learn about it? Who brought it to them and where did that player play the season before? Why did all 32 teams receive letters in SEPTEMBER 2017? What other teams were doing it the ? Why were other documents redacted from one of the east coast AL teams by MLB.

My prediction is Mason Braun will be your first baseman before midway through the SEC. Cerna, Pearson and Reaves will be platooning as PH.
Yeah - I was thinking finals format only not Supers included. You’re right, it is even more compelling. Skip did win one as an assistant at Miami in 1982. He was their pitching coach from what I recall.
12 in conference (pitching does them in at least 2 series)
Another 3 non conference
1 in Super regional
2 at Omaha

18 total

It’ll be an excellent season but I don’t think they have enough starting pitching to make the finals.
Would it shock me if they do? Absolutely not. They could absolutely win it all again but the odds are stacked against them considering the history of this sport. It is so hard going back to back especially in today’s world of college baseball.

I'll let it go when the Astros are properly punished and their win is vacated.

What are you gonna do about the Yankees, Red Sox and the other 29 teams? Just curious.
ChatGPT is powerful. Nice work. I would add though, only Augie did it 5 times in 4 separate decades with 2 separate teams. This is why I always felt that Augie was every bit as good of a coach that Skip was. Skip never had to win in the new format. Augie did it twice and took Texas in 2009 to the brink of another title considering what it took to win with the heroics of DJ LeMeheiu in Game 1.
Like him or not, call him a drunk or whatever, he was a great baseball coach.
Big Easy - loved this guys swing and how effortless he runs. He has an MLB body and skill set. Best of all, he is with my Stros.

I still don’t get it. What an idiotic statement. What does UH, ULL, etc matter. The subject is LSU.


You also said this dumbass “LSU has never been good at basketball get over it they may have a good team every 10 years. Prove me wrong”. I gave you proof you fricking tool of LSU being one of the premier basketball schools in the country during a 13 year stretch.

It was an example of a program with a rich history and a recent history of being in the finals and never winning it similar to LSU. In fact, they will likely be the 1 seed again this season. My thought was your recency bias could make a connection but there it is - zero knowledge of basketball history. This all started when a moron said LSU has
LSU has a rich history of excellent basketball including one stretch where I presented evidence to you, an idiot, where LSU basketball was highly successful ie a top 5 -10 program consistently.

You said this moron ”I don’t see any NC in any of those years. I also didn’t start school there until 1985 so anything accomplished before has no meaning to me I was there when they had Shaq, Chris Jackson, and Stanley Roberts, best roster ever and they still couldn’t do shite”

I’m done with you because I can’t fix your stupidity and I refuse to end your arse again. Here are your facts that LsU was not “good every 10 years or so.
13 of 15 years; pretty sure second most of any program during that stretch; 5 sweet 16; 4 elite 8’s; 2 final 4’s.
Macklin getting hurt in 78-79 (ankle) and 81 (during the elite 8 game in NOLA - hand) cost the a title IMO.

Appears as though Ostrander at Southern Miss might not only sustain their usual success but take them to another level.

I watched their game versus Baylor once the LSU game was over. You know the will pitch.

UCF Coach
Chandler may have had some fatigue or the cold bothered him.
LSU has a dynamic offense, they can hit with 2 strikes, hit and run, power up and down.

First off I believe you’re a fricking liar saying that you were there in 85 because if anything that 85 - 86 and 86-87 seasons were two of the best of any program. They went to the final four with nothing in 86. 86-87. They went to the elite eight. Go look at the teams that they lost to during those runs.
I gave you a hint dumbass with the Michigan State game in 79 with Rudy who had been hurt with that with an ankle injury. He was awesome. The hand injury in 80-81 kept them from beating Indiana in in a final four. I was there for that game. 86 - 87 elite 8 game final Keith Smart hit that jumper at the buzzer to beat LSU in Baton Rouge. Was there for that one too. Getting beat by Kentucky three times in the 85-86 season only to beat them to go to the final four as the lowest seed to reach their at the time.
While there were no championships, there were certain championship caliber teams. 8081 was one of those losing only five games that season. When your star player splits his hand wide open and has to play with the cast, it will impact how you finish.
LSU was the model of consistency and excellence during that stretch - Top 5 program in the country in fact.
UH has never won a title, where do you rank them?
