Paul's 2007 team was the worst LSU baseball team in my lifetime
It wasn't nearly as bad as it somehow is remembered today. Paul's first LSU team was 29-26-1 overall, 12-17-1 in SEC play. The team was 11-12-1 SEC following its antepenultimate SEC series at ranked Arkansas, which series the Tigers prevailed 2 games to 1. The final game of that series concluded with a high fly ball CAUGHT in a leaping grab by a Tiger OF on the left-center field fence.
Like the 2006 campaign, LSU concluded the season by losing 5 of its last 6 (3 of 3 to Vandy, 2 of 3 to Florida, both years). Believe it or not, the Vandy Whistler was alive 'n kicking even way back then.

re: Smoke Laval's last team before he was fired at 35 wins.

No LSU team since 1983 is as poor as this current team-- overall record, conference record, team fielding %, team ERA, and most importantly, the eye test.
It's high time this broadscale smear of Coach Laval comes to an end. His overall performance over 5 seasons at LSU is quite worthy of merit, definitely not scorn.

I trust CWW to put flesh on dem dar cheeks. Even if we must bring in a few Ben Voogd / Darren Populist / Tuba Player wannabe walk-ons we're gonna have a competitive team this coming year.

watch him coach. He was an embarrassment
It became worse than just a garden-variety embarrassment. It was a full-blown circus quality spectacle.
Getting blown out at home by the three worst SEC teams (other than LSU) was simply unprecedented. Losing by a margin of 43-15 in the first half against SC was previously thought a material impossibility.
The difference between 2008 and today is that the 2008 team was fundamentally sound and good enough to be able to string together multiple wins. This year's team has mostly looked like a 1962 Mets redux with the errors, wild pitches, gopher balls and baserunning gaffes. They're not capable of playing well enough to beat the top half of the SEC teams, much less stringing together multiple wins.

Anything can happen in the SEC tourney. There's precedent for LSU, and that goes back to 2010 when the Tigers were reeling in SEC play, having lost 5 of their last 6 series that year. The team did win four games in four days in the tourney, capturing the SEC title and then traveling to UCLA (I believe they were #1 at the time) for a regional.

Two out of three ain't bad, but it would be more possible (not likely) vs Florida than Georgia. That Georgia team is a force to be reckond with, esp in Athens. They're like A&M and playing at a stellar level now
The W-L record and final scores hardly reveal the whole picture. This year's team is bad-- you see it in the overabundance of walks, wild pitches, passed balls, hit batters, near misses on decapitations, fielding mishaps, swinging at pitches waaay out of the strike zong, baserunning gaffes, gopher balls served up by formerly reliable relievers, etc.
This team is nowhere near being tournament ready. A three-ppint triumph over one of the worst teams in Div I isn't worthy of uncorking a case of Dom Perignon. It's gotten so bad that winning just one game out of three vs Miss. St, Georgia and Florida would be a real cause for celebration.

Thanks, JML.
Not pretty tonight, but.... a win is a win is a win, and a site for sore eyes for a win-deprived Tiger fan!
I'll have an Ice-- cold-- BEER! :cheers:

Beautiful! Fantastic play by Braun-- atones for that atrocious "basehit" via a strikeout!
What can Braun do for you?

Garcia has been a huge disappointment the last two weeks. Waaaaay too wild-- then he surrenders a yuge base hit. Can it get any worse than losing the Battle of New Orleans tonight? Heavens to betsy!
It. just. continues.
