Why don't you ask LSU baseball fans if they would prefer your 14 extra wins (out of around 2,500 total) to their 17 trips to Omaha and 6 national titles?


I think that everyone agrees postseason success carries a greater value than a few more wins, but the idea that overall wins don't matter at all is silly.

If that is the case, basically the entire SEC outside of Alabama has some serious crappy football history considering the very small number of national titles they have.

LSU - 3
Florida - 3
Tennessee - 2
Auburn - 1
Georgia - 1
Texas A&M - 1

A bunch of wins with nothing to show for it.

... says the Bama fan who constantly points to "championships" as the only true barometer of football success.

I love how Bama fans think that when it comes to football, its all about National Titles. If a Tennessee fan came along and pointed out that UT was close to Bama in football success because of their 820 wins to Bama's 864 (not much difference), you would immediately start comparing National Titles.

But when it comes to sports that Bama fans lack national titles and come up short in post-season success, suddenly those wins become far more important.

It can't go both ways.
