Cry more.

LSU is a blue blood in college baseball and has been for a generation. Is it that hard to understand how a coach on the heels of a natty would pull an amazing class?

That is not the same as aggy, having done absolutely nothing for 80 years, storming to the top and signing the best recruiting class in history.

It is not an apples to apples comparison.

Texas also has 7 NC's (edit: 6) and has been to Omaha 36 times to your 19

Looking at more recently though LSU's 7 NCs were from the 90's till last season. Texas has 2 NCs since then. LSU has been in the finals 8 times since the 90's vs 4 for Texas.

If you think LSU is saying f it in football, you're mind-numbingly stupid. How we do in baseball has absolutely ZERO effect on what we do in football. Really weak and sad troll.


Compared to your peers, LSU is behind in the NIL game.

2024 UGA, Bama, Florida, OK, Texas, Aggies, and TN are ahead of you. No 5 stars.

Not a knock, just facts.

It would be similar to Miami in football. 1 title in 23 years is not exactly elite status. NIL becomes legit and they get absolute studs out of the portal and they are on track to put back to back all time classes.

Just embrace it, LSU is making it rain on NIL for Baseball.

If they were doing this in other sports they wouldn't have 3 losses and a historically bad defense.

That model doesn't really work in football.

A&M made it "rain" in NIL and ended up firing their head coach.

Seems to be working pretty well for 3 of the top 5 in average spending. Borderline with OU, but that may be a coaching issue as well. And A&M's is clearly a coaching issue.

Perhaps, it's an LSU and A&M cultural problem instead.

We’re the Alabama of college baseball.

it’s feels nice to be flexing that again. that being said, our guys are also donating their NIL deals to charity, Part of it is just that we care more than 99.9% of teams
in the country.

obviously we haven’t given up on football.

I realize a shite poster such as yourself probably doesn't understand this, but those aren't real numbers.

I know you struggle a lot with concepts, but an average is a valid data point. It just so happens it blows your theory (which you have ZERO evidence for by the way) out of the water.

LSU needs to spend money to help the team get over the fear of a Baseball Tarp.

This sad troll attempt worked better before LSU went out and won the national championship.

I definitely agree that an "average" is a valid data point.

Just not the averages of fake numbers, such as you posted.

Now, deflect away.

The passive-aggressive just permeates your every post.

Assume my data is invalid, let's see you support your contention that spending big in football doesn't pan out. Other than your anecdotal analysis.

Ah, there's the patented Early deflection attempt.

There's no assumption.

NIL valuations are numbers that are pulled out of thin air.

And now a strawman argument.

Investing in your program does "pan out," throwing NIL money around has not.
