That's true. I am glad Kelly was willing to admit that.

I do think that most head coaches will hire other coaches most familiar to them, so this usually means coaches that they have worked with previously.

Hopefully, since BK has now been here a few years, he will get the coaches here who can best recruit the talent needed to win big.

Also, his evaluations of players like Perkins and others could have been better.
Either Arkansas was very impressive or Tennessee just played lousy in their series in Fayetteville.

Like LSU, the Hogs were a very tough team at home this season. This should be a tremendous battle Saturday night at Omaha.

Van Horn is a good coach, but his team has historically not been quite good enough to win it all.

They squandered a tremendous opportunity in 2018, dropping a two-out pop up that either one of two players could have caught had one of them taken charge, then watched Oregon State put up a big rally. I don't think Van Horn can be blamed for that.

re: CWS teams should be re-seeded

I thought about this also, so glad to see this post. It's a very good idea to re-seed the teams after the super regional round.

I wish the NCAA would have started doing this many years ago.
I think so, but Tigers don’t need to fall any further behind.
Thanks for the Heads Up on that, Coach!

I didn’t realize Jay Johnson posted on the Rant!

LOL!

re: Auburn a 4 seed?

I think Auburn is overrated.

Their ace pitcher is Samuel Dutton.

Here's hoping they get eliminated ASAP.
Unfortunately, there is a chance that as many as six SEC teams could make it to Omaha.

I wish only LSU and perhaps one or two more would make it, but based on the results in recent years, that seems highly unlikely.

re: We lost a great in Lynn Amedee

He was also a pretty solid LSU assistant coach for several years.
Jay knows what he's doing here.

The far bigger priority is of course, the NCAA tournament. He wants to make sure the pitching rotation is properly set for that.
It's a pretty nice area.

You do have some choices. As the above posters indicated, you may have to go down the road a bit from McKinney.

It's too bad that Jared Mitchell can't be there instead of Bradley. He's a much better broadcaster.

Charlie was great. This could have happened sooner.
Best of luck to Kelly, Davis and others trying to land this top notch tackle.
That's certainly right. He's really done an outstanding job anywhere the SEC Network has placed him.

re: Fire Beth Torino Immediately

Posted by rjokerlsu on 5/18/25 at 8:12 pm
Yes, back to the previous posts. It is time for Beth to go.

There's too much talent for this team to not be able to win the regional it is hosting.

Do what it takes to get this game in. As has been posted before, LSU seems to do better when it's not a doubleheader.

re: I think Nuss deserves #18

Posted by rjokerlsu on 5/8/25 at 9:24 pm
I suppose so.

It appears LSU is stuck with this #18 nonsense.

re: Bo Pelini or Matt House

Posted by rjokerlsu on 5/8/25 at 9:22 pm
House would be okay at just coaching linebackers.

He gets himself in big trouble when he is placed in charge of the entire defense.
