Yeah -- I'm the one that got my panties in a wad because a random State fan on the internet said he thought Carolina was a tier behind LSU and Mississippi State this year -- based on a bunch of listed(and obviously ignored) tangible facts.

What are your 'facts'? You keep saying stuff like past results don't indicate future success (which is mostly true) but you haven't once acknowledged our recruiting, which is a pretty good factor to use to indicate future success.
You also keep bringing up the fact that because Tanner left, we can't keep winning. Nevermind that Holbrook took us to game 3 of the Supers against national seed UNC and we have an excellent staff surrounding him.
Also, quit comparing our coaching change situation to that of LSU's. That's worse than us bringing up our past success.

When did you acknowledge our recruiting? I must have missed it.

Sorry -- I deal in tangible matters. And kids being good highschool players and/or had a really good tournament when Kendall Rogers was watching isn't what I describe as tangible.

Yeah -- I never once said that.

I said it was ridiculous for your fanbase to ascertain that the rest of us should just consider Holbrook an extension of Tanner -- who was a once-in-a-generation coach for you. No one has claimed you are going to fade into obscurity. But it takes a special coach with special players to know how to win with the bright lights on in the postseason -- and Holbrook simply hasn't proven a damn thing yet.

Again -- here you are wanting a pat on the back for falling a step short of the 2 teams I rated above you for this season. Cohen went on the road to this year's #1, shoved it up their arse, and didn't need a third game -- and I don't need anyone to tell me how great he is for it either.

I guess you've never heard of Butch Thompson either, right?

Who would you prefer that I compare him to then? Smoke is the best possible comparison in college baseball in the last decade or so. You just don't like the comparison because you know where it ended in that Smoke ultimately failed at LSU. He was JUST as good in his first year as Holbrook -- and even took them to Omaha in years 2 and 3. So, again, please use facts to invalidate the comparison -- if you can?
