Nothing against LSU team.  Most are from other places or colleges anyway.  But their fans are utter trash.

One thing about LSU, there is a significant percentage of their traveling fans that never actually attended the university.  Hell,  many of the dickheads you see at LSU football home games are not alumni.    They are drunks and rednecks and coon-asses who live their lives through LSU sports.

Now, this is not unusual for any fan base, but the percentage of LSU fans who actually have nothing to do with LSU seems to me to be higher than most SEC schools.    At least that has been my observation. Could be wrong.

It's hard to believe their first CWS appearance was in 1986.

It’s hard to believe USCs last was 2001.

Arky was really their only competition there….they had 2 of 3 pitchers  with most strikeouts in the country and they both played lights out when it mattered.   Don’t know how they were swept at Auburn, lost 2 of 3 to aggy and Horns.   Baseball is a strange game sometimes.

Coach Johnson has been known to drive the parents of the LSU players a bit crazy at times.  He likes to tinker during the season.  After Eyanson left the game at Texas, if Johnson puts in Evans or Cowan to shut things down, they very well could have won the game and series.  Instead he used what seemed like 15 arms from his pen, and lost.  By playoffs, he knew what he had and how he wanted to use them.  

Schloss will greatly increase the talent at Texas starting this coming season.

I agree with you all the way.  Other than the Saints or Pelicans what do they have to call home grown and cheer for?  Utah didn't call their team Jazz by accident.  Anything or anyone worth a flip eventually leaves LA for a better future/opportunity.  It's all they got.

If Coastal's ace had shown up today like Anderson did yesterday we'd be going to game 3.  Oh well.

If Kyle McCulloch had shown up against Stanford in 2006...

If Lucas Gordon had shown up against Aggy...

Well, you know.

In college baseball, there’s pretty much never a team that knows what it has to start the season.  Not 1-9.  Not the entire pitching staff.  Odd that we are supposedly a program that is based on CWS or bust yet lose our shit on a midweek loss.  Those games are available to find out what you have for that post season run.

Cowan had pitched 3 innings Friday night.  Let’s keep in mind he’s a Wofford transfer that throws about 90.  You are correct they could have gone Evans and maybe that works out, buts it unlikely he finishes that game.

In the end, LSU looks to have trusted about 4 pitchers.  Highlighted that Cowan only started twice - both post season.  Then Eysnson came in to finish Little Rock.  Had they lost their Spencer, they’re likely worse off than us in spite of having all that talent on their team.  They didn’t trust those fast ballers to throw strikes. 

The difference in LSUs final outcome as compared to ours is they got a weak regional.   They didn’t lose Anderson or Jones.  Then they stayed out of the losers bracket so their lack of trust in that staff didn’t impact the outcomes.

Here are some numbers to chew on for Horns versus UTSA.  Bing and Howard combined for 7 innings of no hit ball on the early season against them.  Ruger gave up 1 run in 4 innings.  I believe the discussion then was it very much mattered to UTSA.

Now Burns.  He gave up 4 hits and 1 earned run on that Tuesday night.  He allowed all 3 inherited runs to score.

So let’s advance the season a couple of months.  You’re up 6-5.  One out, 2 runners on.  Who you going to out of the pen?  Burns it is.  He proceeds to give up 3 hits, 1 run of his own and allows both inherited runs to score.  The only out recorded was a throw out at home.

Teams don’t know what they have in the early season.  The situation you highlighted is a bit of contrast with our end to the season.  We had some data points for several guys but chose to ignore them.  I haven’t heard the rationale for our regional pitching choices, but the choices were odd.  And several were not good with signs indicating that potential outcome.

Don’t disagree with any of this.  At the end of the day, LSU had more talent to draw from and it showed.  Texas will look similar going forward under Schloss.  In the this playoff format, you can lean on 4 pitchers: Ace starter, solid second starter, clean up guy (see: Jessen Merle) and a closer.  The three teams left standing this season all had that.  LSU’s were better.  I remember having discussions late in the 2005 season that Texas couldn’t hit.  LSU fans/parents had those same discussions in May.  Amazing how much heat great pitching takes off the offense.

I will add that relative to the talent that Schloss will most likely bring in, fans will see that Texas got more out of this squad than even Schloss thought (and he was honest about that back in May).

Lsu and usc still have better baseball programs than us. Win a fucking title soon, plz

I need to not take the bait, but USC? What on earth are you talking about? Having more titles in the history of college baseball does not equate to, “Still have better baseball programs than us.” 

LSU, I would agree that they are the premier program in college baseball and have been the past 20 years.

USC has won one title in the past 48 years and has only been to Omaha four times in that span, the last of which was in 2001. There are, at least, 50 programs better than them right now. 

Fucking Greenspoint.

And Yale is still the best college football program, I guess.

There is no logic to this. It would also mean Texas has been a better baseball program than Florida the past 15 years (since 2010).

Florida: 9 CWS appearances, 1 title (2017), 2 runner up (2011, 2023), but only 1 title overall.

Texas: 5 CWS appearances, no titles, no runner ups, but 6 total titles overall.

Also, holy shit, that 15-year span of results is depressing as hell.

GTFO here, Greenspoint.

It's not hard to get into LSU.  You just basically can't be retarded...

Hmm...I see your point now actually.
