That’s a pretty solid visual depiction of why we don’t call ourselves a baseball school.

Losing to us in baseball would be like us losing to Arky in football, which happens every once in a blue moon.

Poor Bama....still bitter over the Natty beatdown we gave them in baseball.

From 30ish yrs ago? Interesting take, I don’t know if you were watching college baseball at that time but I sure wasn’t.

LSU baseball posters are interesting when things go bad. I would have probably responded to the OP with “Yep, sucks for the 2024 portal guys expecting a good season. It happens sometimes but we’ll bounce back next year.” To each his own, I guess.

Did they get less salty later in the thread? Seems the 3 confused and salty responses summed up the LSU sentiment pretty well (including your own post…smh).

Our total NIL for that year was less than $4 million. Let’s not pretend like sliced bread knew what he was talking about when he made up that number of 30 million.

I mean, it wasn’t 2024 OSU responding to their rival winning the first natty in 25+ years, but it was definitely out of market at the time.

Literally zero difference in the situations for the kids that joined the losing team and weren’t there for the championship. In fact, it’s probably actually worse for LSU bag chasers, as they joined expecting the bag and a chance to win. Those joining A&M knew they were taking a risk, while guys like Holman are probably substantially more disappointed in LSU’s ineptitude.


Many of the kids who transferred in are a lot of the reason LSU is bad this year.

Sounds like a cautionary tale for LSU boosters then. Holman did his job, not sure who the ones are that didn’t as I don’t follow LSU that closely.

They took 6 transfers in, Jump and Holman were excellent.

The rest were meh to bad but many of these kids came from lower levels schools so I doubt there was much a "bag" thrown to them.

Yea LSU just has the most National titles in football behind only Alabama since 2000 but no they aren’t known for their winning ways.

I'm embarrassed for you. Usually you Bama fans can actually make me lol with the shite talking/topics y'all can come up with. This is ghey tho, and literally makes no sense bc a baseball team and what A&M football did are world's apart. In Short be better.

Bama just mad that they can't rely on Dodge Chargers to lure recruits anymore.
It costs way more these days and LSU and Aggies aren't your competition anymore.
