    While it wasn't a dominant season, it sure was a fun season, especially after the rally-possum.

    I feel our coaching across the board could be better. I often hold back from saying so because I get called a douchebag or something because the sheep get offended. The eye test is proof, we have better talent but can't beat better coaching. With that said, I think we have good coaches for the most part they just seem to underachieve in the bigger games. I like Les & CPM but they both get out coached more than they should.

    CPM is a much better baseball coach than Les is a football coach. The strategies and subtleties of baseball are less understood by the average fan than football. Even the very best baseball teams are going to lose a few games the fans think they should win. It's all in the nature of the game. LSU is a better team than Coastal Carolina and if they played 20 times LSU would win 15 but they don't and the Tigers lost the 2 that counted. I am much less upset about that than if LSU lost a football game to somebody like McNeese or Eastern Michigan.

    this year, Coastal is a better team than LSU. if that exact same team with the exact same resume had "Clemson" written across their chest, they would have hosted and been favored to beat LSU.

    they are not the football equivalent to McNeese or Eastern Michigan.

    we told you this was bs before the lsu matchup.

    Now they just beat the 1 seed and only sec representative 1-0.

    outstanding effort by CC. This is where a talented and veteran team can make a difference. UF has the most talent of any team in the country. Wasnt enough.

    I agree that Coastal was better. They have been beating on the door for over a decade and they finally got thru. Too bad it was us they beat to get there. I played baseball most of my life and totally understand the nuances of the game. Like all humans CPM makes his mistakes, but we have seem to make the worst ones at the worst times. I still would not want to lose him as a coach, just frustrating sometime.

    Being the strongest conference throughout the year, it's surprising that only 1 SEC team made it to the CWS. And that team (Fla) had to play 3 to get there, then promptly lost their first CWS game to the team that beat us to get there. It's kind of been an unwritten rule of mine to never go for the team that beat you, but I like this Coastal Carolina team and would like to see them win it all. If not them, then maybe TCU.
