I'd guess coaching college baseball is less "tiring" than football, but a lot, but who knows?  These days it could be crazy.

I did not know Paul Mainieri was coaching South Carolina.  We'll face the old coach next weekend for our final SEC series. 

I didn't keep track of him when he resigned at LSU, but he said something along the lines of how he was tired, didn't feel like he was giving it his best anymore, and needed to step aside for the good of the program. 

I guess he just needed a few years off, away from the over-zealous expectations of LSU fans.

Florida beat USCe like 22-3 a few days ago.  They suck ass.

And the team that started 1-11 in SEC play just beat #1 Texas.  We may end up with a 2 seed, which defies logic.

Welp.  A&M snapped Mizzou’s “perfect” SEC record.

Now, where'd that uppity little hawg go?  😎  Not so tough outside their own little pork-pen. 

Speaking of, without doing any research whatsoever, it seems to me that's LSU's story as well.  Barring the Auburn outlier, LSU can beat anyone at home, and is just as likely to lose to good teams away from home.  Getting a top 8 national seed will doubtlessly improve their chances markedly, though their chances in Omaha, if they were to make it, would seem to be slim.

Texas and Florida battle for the series today. 

A&M bizarrely can't beat Missouri, of all teams.

UGA thumping Bama. 

LSU scrapes out Friday's game in extra innings, then blows the doors off in a crazy run-rule in game 2.  A crazy game ending play, where LSU's batter struck out but reached base on a wild pitch, 2B runner took third and made a risky gamble for home.  He got caught in a rundown, but then Arkansas' 3B went to the ground to field a return throw and threw late to the plate, allowing LSU's trapped guy to slide in to home and end it.  Weirdest walk-off I've ever heard of.

Uppity? :57:

What a series, almost 4 hour rain delay, then a 10 run rule and finally blocked the sweep. Tiggers had the bats this time for sure! Good games!

Horns stumbling down the stretch.  Weak bats all season long were covered to an extent by strong pitching, but losing our best weekend pitcher 3 weeks ago just cratered our rotation.  I like this team a lot, they've played well above their talent level, but this is not an Omaha team I think.  Still a good first season in the SEC.  A series win in Norman would be nice...

I'll see your "stumbling down the stretch" and raise you a series sweep (all losses) to the team previously winless in the SEC.

Yeah, I hate the rain delay, but we've had several of those in recent weeks.  I feel like delays affect baseball worse than any other sport.  Not sure if it helped us or not in g1 against the Hawgs, but I'll take the W either way.  We just don't have the bullpen arms to take three games from a team like Arkansas, even at home.  

I'm pretty comfortable with the team in a 2 out of 3 format against most anyone--at least at home or neutral site--but if you have to fight out of a loser's bracket, for example, and win several in a row.....well, that's why I don't think this LSU team is real CWS material.

Welp, Mizzou did what we could not....beat the Ags in College Station. 

After no game played (or finished?) on Saturday, Bama takes two of three from UGA. 

Baseball is a up and down sport, and the SEC has plenty of tough teams to provide the ups and downs.

So I guess from a practical consideration, while it's always better to win hardware than not, the idea with the SEC tournament is to defend your record enough to keep home field advantage the regional and super-regional.
There's so much firepower in the SEC that winning it really isn't a prerequisite. Just try not to lose too badly to a team that's geographically close to you.
