Come to think of it, I can't remember any LSU teams in modern times that had more than two aces, or weekend starters, or however you term it. I mean, they had a guy in a Saturday/Sunday role, but he wasn't near the quality of the other two and not who you'd prefer in a Best 2 Out Of 3 format. Most LSU teams that made deep runs or won something had two reliable guys, a third guy who was "SEC-caliber" (maybe meaning middling caliber), a decent enough bullpen, and a smothering closer.
We've actually got most of that this year except for the veins-of-ice closer. And that has cost us, and that is one reason I don't think we're in danger of winning anything.
