TALK YO SHITE BRUCE PEARL!!

Posted by YoungSteele830 on 3/21/26 at 9:07 pm


The NET isn’t “rigged for the SEC” like the Twitter crybabies say. It’s full of SEC teams at the top because this is the best damn conference in the land.

Miami Ohio blown out by 5th best SEC team. Texas is the 10th best SEC team, first round exits in the SECT and yet they’re going on a Cinderella run. How much more do we need to see to admit that Bruce Pearl was right about everything?
BRUCE PEARL WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!!

Auburn lost by 18 in 2 games combined against Tennessee. Miami lost by 22 today.

Miami completely scammed us all. Totally gamed the system, beat up on nothing but garbage teams all year and hid behind an absolute farce of a W-L record and a mob of Twitter crybabies. Essentially forcing the committee to put them in because it would’ve been a PR nightmare for the NCAA if they didn’t.

Who you play matters!! SOS matters, advanced metrics matter!! W-L record doesn’t tell you much. Auburn actually had several quality wins.

I think the whole Bruce Pearl stuff is fake outrage just because it’s the big bad SEC. And oh by the way the SEC already has 2 wins as double digit seeds in the NCAAT, so maybe Pearl was right. Auburn definitely deserved it over SMU that’s for sure.

Pearl was only doing what everybody else would’ve done in that scenario. When it’s selection time literally every bubble team politicks to the committee and makes the sales pitch, but it’s only a problem when the big bad SEC does it.
We get it, the big bad SEC and Greg Sankey are always going out of their way to keep poor little High Point and little ol Miami down. We all see that you have a Napoleon complex and it’s not a good look on you at all. He’s talking tough and overcompensating to try to convince everyone that they belong. Just let the play on the court do the talking.

Reminds me of Coastal baseball last year vs LSU, classless remarks in the press conference, and then the coach got himself ejected in the first inning because he was more worried about winning the dick measuring contest with the ump than he was about winning the ballgame.

There’s a difference between playing the underdog card and playing the victim card. Nobody likes a whiner, easy way to destroy any credibility you earned through this win.

As a La Tech fan I hope that if we ever win a March Madness game or go to Omaha we show class and act like we’ve been there before unlike these guys.
This team has made a regional and was playing their best at the right time. Went on an SECT heater in ‘24 when we needed it. Went on the road as a 2 seed in a regional both years and pushed the host teams to the limit in winner-take-all games.

We don’t know exactly what lies ahead. May be more frustrations and tough weekends on the way. Maybe lose another midweek or two. But 13 SEC regular season wins will be enough, as long as we don’t lose like 5 more midweeks. We can lose SIX more series 1-2 and still make regionals, as long as we win three series 2-1. Do that and we’ll be the 2/3 seed that NOBODY wants to play in regionals.

Yes, this weekend wasn’t good, and Sac State weekend was even worse, but it’s going to take a lot more losses for me to throw in the towel on this team.
Haven’t done my bracket yet but I’ll have Duke as my champion. Duke’s overdue for a natty, it’s been 11 years. Had a tough Final Four loss in 2022 and also last year. They look like a machine right now. Scheyer proving he’s a great coach himself, it wasn’t all Flagg last year. I honestly think Scheyer is underrated as a coach
It’s never been the 68 best teams. Like 20 of the autobid teams come from outside the top 68. I’d definitely say Miami is one of the best 68 teams but there’s not enough room for the best 68 AND every autobid team.
That is incredibly damning, at this point I think it’s legit 50-50. If they are in I think it will be as a First Four team playing on Tues or Wed in the play-ins.

Had they lost in the championship, I think they’d be safely in. But a first round loss to a 15-15, 7-11 in a weak MAC UMass at 11AM on a Thursday is an awful, awful look. UMass was outside the NET top 200!!! Miami was ranked 53 in the NET going into today, that’s already really low for a bubble team, and will drop more with this loss, haven’t seen updated rankings yet.

They also weren’t even favored to win the MAC tournament going in. Vegas gave Akron better odds. They tried to tell us that Miami wasn’t all that…

If they do make it in they just might be
the worst at large team of all time.
It’s not that small at all. In fact it seems pretty normal. It’s a little short down the line in right, sure, but the alleys are both normal sizes as is center field. And in fact it’s really deep in left. 350 down the line in left, that’s deep. It’s 314 down RF line. Not small just unbalanced

Nobody:

Doug Thompson: CATLICK HIGH!! CATLICK HIGH BEARS BUZZY!
The good news is, Vandy is our first SEC opponent. They have 6 non conference losses already
This attitude is what I don’t get. Who gives a shite about “Louisiana baseball?” We ARE Louisiana baseball. We need to look out for ourselves and ourselves only, these other programs in the state wouldn’t give a shite if we never won another game again. People say we need to play more of these midweek road games in Lafayette or Ruston, I disagree, we don’t benefit any from this, we have a huge disadvantage in these games. The opponent plays it like it’s their World Series and we just can’t afford to do that. Plus we lose money that we could have made playing a home game.
March Madness is the strangest thing. Fans want upsets in the round of 64. Last year fans complained that “NIL ruined March Madness” because there weren’t a lot of upsets. BUT fans don’t want the underdog teams to actually make it to the elite 8 or final four, because then people will bitch about the fact that the blue bloods aren’t in it.

2023 when a Final Four matchup was Fla Atlantic vs San Diego St(great game and finish btw) all I heard from the sports media in Final Four week was that this is the worst final four ever because the TV ratings will be low because no blue bloods.

Just the strangest shite ever. More people talk about Doug Edert from St. Peter’s and Jack Gohlke from Oakland than they do the actual fricking national champs from that season(Kansas and UConn.) In no other sport does this happen.
This is a business, not a charity. LSU sells out ballparks no matter where it is. Alex Box, Hoover, Omaha, Jacksonville, Lafayette, wherever.

Why should we gift all this money to other schools? We should want to play as many home games as possible and in turn make the most money possible. We are The Powerhouse Of College Baseball, The Standard. You wanna play LSU then you haul your arse down to Alex Box
Especially not in-state. There’s literally no benefit. We play a full SEC schedule, we don’t need the RPI boost. We don’t need a “road test,” we get 15 of them at 5 different SEC ballparks. All you do is walk into a hornets’ nest of opposing fans and players that treat a meaningless midweek game in March like it’s the CWS. A level of energy that we cannot match at this time of year. You gift the opposing team an easy opportunity to clown on you for the rest of the year.
Relax. It sucks now, but there’s levels to this. Their finest moments come in Tuesdays and Wednesdays in March and April. Our finest moments come in June. Come June when we’re back in Omaha and Lafayette is at home nobody will care about this game.

No shite ULL wants this. This is their College World Series. They would rather beat LSU on a Wednesday in March than win a national championship in Omaha in June.

We don’t need “swag” or “juice” in March. Just because ULL plays this game like it’s the national championship doesn’t mean we should. All that would do is sap our energy for the games that actually matter. Save your best for the biggest games
You’re not exactly wrong but Lafayette takes it to the next level. With their TSABs and their LSUA&Ms. Biggest Napoleon complex ever

This just isn’t our night. It sucks tonight but it will be forgotten by Friday. It’s a 56 game grind and you just can’t show up with 100% focus and intensity in every game, it’s impossible. We’re tired, disinterested and ready for SEC play. Meanwhile this is the top game on ULL’s schedule, they’d rather win this game than go to Omaha. You can’t beat these guys playing like we are tonight. Not with the way they small ball you to death and run the bases. It forces you to play with an elite level of focus and execution
Regarding facing UL Lafayette in the 2002 regionals:

“We were playing to try and make it to Omaha. They were playing to try and beat LSU.”
