http://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index.ssf?/base/sports-18/1117261697146240.xml Unfortunately for those waiting for that LSU- Tulane Super Regional, this pretty much spell out why it won't happen. For a team that sucks and a coach that stinks, being seeded somewhere between 9-12 NATIONALLY is in the offing.
He does have a point (beside the one on his head). Why should ULL, the scum, and LSU fight it out for two spots when Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame could earn three spots because of the geographic weakness of midwest baseball.
I have said it over and over, so I might as well keep nagging. I don't want LSU and Tulane in the same Super (if they both win their regionals) because I think having two teams make it to Omaha, or at least play as far as they can without playing each other, would be good for baseball as a whole in Louisiana. I want Louisiana baseball to be seen on the same level as California baseball. Two power houses would be good for LSU and Tulane (their RPI's since they play each other every year),and for Louisiana. And I want Southern and ULL to be strong. For the same reasons.
If we can't get a Super, I want to be paired up w/ Oxford. We've already taken 2 out of 3 up there once this year.
Where ya been the last few seasons Okie? :grin: Tulane, USL, LSU, and Southern are all doing pretty well in baseball. You can add Northwestern and Southeastern to that list too. 2000 had that "great" showing by USL (seriously, I liked that team,) and then the infamous 2001 season with Tulane... California baseball? I'd even take Florida baseball :wink:
Screw wanting two Louisiana teams in the CWS. I don't want Toolame anywhere near the CWS. I want to knock their over-rated asses out of contention
LSU will probably be paired in Supers with Baylor, Ole Miss.... and will not be paired with Texas or Tulane. It isn't economical.
Careful what you wish for MarineTiger. We haven't done so hot against Tulane in recent history. And they are the real deal this year. Just you watch though; all Louisiana teams that make the NCAA's will be stacked in two paired regionals, to ensure that only one in-state team can make it to Omaha. I wouldn't be surprised one little bit. We had a chance to avoid this, by winning a national seed and giving the selection committee no choice in the matter. But we fell flat on our faces in Hoover this past week.
