No you're incorrect. They lost $1.9 million in 2024. The audit is online anyone can read it. They came close to breaking even (slight deficit of $66,000) in 2023.
They did always make money until recently with the new NIL changes and the increase in lodging and travel.
If the upward trend continues and they continue to make Omaha almost every year they will most likely start marginally losing money ever year.
Also they will have to pay JJ more money to keep him and that will continue the trend of losing money. not 8 million but a few million most likely.

Baseball lost money in 2023, what makes you think it’s going to make money this year? And this is coming from as big as a baseball fan as you’ll find.
It’s almost guaranteed the baseball team
Lost money again this year and it’s because of the long Omaha stay.
The the reason they lost money in 2023 was because of the long stay in Omaha and all the hotels they had to buy for team, coaches, support staff.
Baseball is always going to be marginal
Profits in a decent year but it sounds like the Omaha trip (hotel, flights, meals etc.) is going to put them
In the red everytime.
I am obviously good with that if it means NC or close to a NC every time.
Don’t forget Jay Johnson is only like 7th in nation and 4th in SEC in coaches salary— so Woody will most likely have to hike his year salary up at least another million or two in the near future so your looking at even more losses from the baseball budget.

et the article only talks about Lsu not any other school. Between selling your uniforms for ad space and stealing from children hospitals yall should be ok.
The fact that you are going to try to throw shade at a team that is all time something like 23-1-1 against your embarrassment of a football program is hilarious.
If my team had ONE win all-time against any program in their own conference —I would make sure to certainly not bring attention to such a colossal failure by trying the impossible task of smack talking that said program.
As if that wasn’t enough— your once decent baseball team hires our RETIRED washed up old coach with a bad neck and a messed up back.
Meanwhile —While we go out and get a coach who has already accomplished being the youngest coach in history to win 2 titles in history at our school.
But yea by all means go ahead and try to throw shade at LSU. You got us good their chief.

You would be shocked if you did Burrow and Daniels stats the year before they came back for their last year at LSU where they both won something nice that happens to be the subject of this thread.

The next time a pitcher has a no no going into the ninth, what’s the discussion…who won the CWS in 2025, better yet who pitched/won the first game of the 3 game series in 2025 or…who was the last pitcher to throw a no hitter in the CWS….Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood and his untouchable 4 seam will be the topic of conversation until the next no no is thrown…maybe it will be a LSU pitcher in 65 years lol
I have no doubt Arkensas will print the T-Shirts—maybe put it on plastic cups they sell in Baum for diet cokes next year.
I completely understand too—if your Arkensas and what you’ve been through in Omaha— at some point you just have to give up on actual CWS championship hardware and appreciate what you have—the Florida State model.
Look I don’t blame you if I was in your place I would certainly think the same way.

KA-complete game 3 hit shutout…great showing but without looking probably not that uncommon GW-19K no hitter, one HBP shy of perfect game, only 3rd NH and first in 60ish years. Anderson will be drafted higher, make more money and probably have a much longer MLB career…but when the next pitcher gets close to a NH they won’t talk about Anderson…Woods performance will come up time and time again in the CWS. Better career=Anderson Most dominant performance=Wood
Don’t forget Wood threw in what turned out to be a meaningless elimination game.
Anderson carries his team in the first game of the championship series.
You Arkansas fans will remember that game as a small bright spot in yet another failure of a season.
Andersons performance will be yet another legendary performance on the way to another title for the best modern baseball program in the country.
I know what game I would rather be a part of and so does everybody else.
Why did WAFB sports report decide to dox Jay Johnson on tonight’s broadcast?
Posted by bigbowe80 on 6/20/25 at 11:27 pm
Did anyone else notice they posted his cell phone number when they did the segment on the life and recruitment of Daniel Dickenson?
Seemed a bit careless with this being the night before one of his biggest coaching weekends of his career to date.
Side note and rather interesting factoid- Daniel’s Mom explained how she made decision as single woman to artificially inseminate anonymous donor to have a child and raise him as a single woman.
She then retired early to follow his career down to BR when he transferred from Utah State.
Everyone has a unique story to tell and his was interesting indeed.

Taking baseball seriously, what a joke. That’s on your AD if you didn’t take baseball seriously, what an excuse. And even with your math Texas has about the same % of visits to Omaha as a program (every other year) vs LSU but accounting for a much larger time period (since we are not making excuses as not taking baseball seriously). LSU you are better than that
You are absolutely right. It’s not fair to not count the entire history of baseball from the first game in 1859.
Oh look at that LSU still has more championships than Texas.

We haven't played in Dead Valley since 2022. Those LSU bitches ran for the exits like Troy from Swamp People was signing autographs in the parking lot.
Did you win the east that year? How many championships has your football team won since then? Oh that’s right— yet another sport Tennessee fans love to run their mouth about in which they have not won a championship (of any type) since 2001 (the great thing about 2001 when they last won the east is LSU beat their arse in the sec championship that year as well with backup QB— denying them an outright SEC champ and chance at a NC— Tenn has been floundering in the sport ever since over the last 25 years).

No one can compare with that.
Actually it still only counts as one NC in 2024 in the record books.

Most wins in the country in the last 4 years, one national championship, 4 super regionals, 3 trips to Omaha, 2 SEC tournament championships, and 2 regular season championships. Show me a team with a better resume over the last 4 yrs.

I'll repeat what I said in another thread earlier. If LSU plays game 1 at 2:00 Friday, tonight's game would have started at 6:30 and the box would have had it's magic. No more rain delays
He’s wrong.
The entire weekend schedule including tonight game at 8 pm was already posted back Friday AM.
Now yes, the Saturday game got pushed back from 5 to 8 pm after the long delays Friday— but that wouldn’t have changed tonight’s game already being scheduled for 8 pm way back Friday AM before any games had the potential to be played.
LSU RPI down to 12 now according to Warren Nolan

Should we be concerned teams like coastal carolina, ucla , North Carolina, Clemson, and Oregon State are now ahead of us?
Wasn’t that some of the teams we were supposed to be worried about catching LSU for top 8?

Well part of what he may be referring to is the projections from D1 baseball that were put up on the screen in about the 6th inning of today’s game that said:
“if the season ended today” (which I think meant before any games were played today) had LSU as a 9 seed.
