So, I don't know of I would call them a "great" team, which is the point to which I was referring.

You are arguing semantics at best. That was a very talented team who won a regional @Miami and then came in Alex Box and took 2 from LSU. They beat LSU despite having the unfortunate circumstances (rain) of facing Gausman to close out game 1 (extras) and in game 2.

I'd consider getting to Omaha the mark of a great team, especially in their fashion. Not to mention they went 21-3 in conference play and 43-11 overall, which was the best record in the NCAA. They had 7 players drafted in the 2012 draft alone

As for the rest of your post, that's a non sequitur in respect of my point.

You didn't make a point. You posted a fact then didn't expand on your "point" at all. And it really isn't. I'd consider last year's team to be a great team, yet 1-2 in Omaha.

Crazy thing about the term "great" is that it has different meanings to different people.

In looking at how those 2 have played since they moved to other teams, it makes a strong argument that Ryans' system was flawed.

They played 1 year under Ryan and we had a top 5 defense despite losing multiple players in the secondary to injury including Greer.

We signed the highest paid safety in the league without consulting our defensive coordinator.

What the frick? No they weren't

Their lineup ripped the cover off the ball. That was a great team

And this loss was way way worse than the one against Houston. No question about it.

K

The Houston regional was all but won until a completely idiot decision to pitch McCune who was absolutely torched in SEC play. That was a collapse. Lsu was fortunate to take 1 game from SB

Wahoo games are awesome, but like you said, too small :(

How do people still misunderstand what the team vote and senior leadership council are? Both implemented by Saban btw

Running out of teams that need them actually. San Diego and Oakland/Vegas are the only 2 I can think of.

actually know. The sticking point is guaranteed money and length of contract, and they are not very close in regards to the numbers.

Gave Payton a call again? Your sources have always been spot on
