It’s sad that we aren’t elite anymore
Tenn, Ark, A&M are another level above us…where we used to be
- Thread starter JWSDawgs
- Start date
KSU knocking Hagan Smith around right now in Pigsville
Tenn, Ark, and A&M are three of the biggest choke artists in the game.
I dunno... I'd rather be a storied program with a National Championship than flash in the pan new money that can't handle success.
ETA: What's happening to Texas A&M right now is the equivalent of losing to Ole Miss in a Starkville Regional. I would rather us lose to Virginia in Charlottesville than that.
Ark and A&M might both lose tonight though sweetie. At home.
1-At some point you have to quit resting on past titles & get serious about being an elite program & win some damn games. That point should have come the last day of the 2022 season. But we’re still not there.
2-Completely agree. That would be the worst.
We were “Elite” when only a few programs actually tried at baseball. With all the football money now, they have to do something with it so they are spending some of it on baseball.
Are you talking about the fact that we look like we have a great lineup of horse jockeys while they look great they have assembled a team of football sized players?
Hogs really look elite with losing at home to a team with a lower RPI than Ole Miss
Down goes elite, way above us, program Arkansas who will be (checks notes) playing in an elimination game tomorrow.
We have done more in the current era in baseball than we did back the era you are talking about. It's not close.
We have to win 3 games in a row, and have Pigs lose 1 more. But a man can definitely dream.
Texas 3rd baseman just blew it.
Annnnnnnd their pitcher threw a ball in the dirt. A&M is up 4-2 top of the 11th.

He pulled a Larry…just field the ball and step on the bag…
But in the old era, we didn’t have the internet where fans could emotionally circle jerk about the doom and gloom. We seemed much better then.
Yep, and tell me again how programs like Miami, Texas, USC and others didn't value the National Championships they were winning in baseball back then. *** Baseball was a national collegiate sport and Ron Polk made the SEC aware of its importance. Diminishing what we have done in baseball serves no purpose other than making someone look dumb.
This.
I ran into a lot of fans like some of the ones who congregate here back in the day. I quietly stole a beer from their cooler and walked back over to where my friends were standing.
Elite, levels above us, program of the gods Arkansas is done.
Not really. We are behind the 8 ball in Charlottesville in case you haven’t noticed
Whether we go further or not, I am so glad to see Arkansas and their inbred *** get put out. The only team I possibly hate more than them in baseball LSU.
We are on the road. They were at home with it set up for them to win the thing.
And? What’s the difference if both of us are sitting at home next weekend?
We are on the road for several reasons.
They lost to southwestern college of arts and crafts, at their place, but yes - same thing as us loosing a close one to Virginia at their place. Idiot.
They had a much easier road to get there than we did. We aren't supposed to win the regional we are in, they were.
