Right now that is LSU as a program and Tennessee with the coach.
2) Our talent is good. You're blind if you can't see that. But so is everyone else's. Like others have said, this isn't 1990 where 2 programs cared about baseball. Hell, this isn't even 2013, where 8 programs cared about it. There are 12 teams, about to be 13, in this conference that care about baseball and want to succeed at it. The only teams you could argue don't give a rip are Missouri and Alabama/UGA on a given year they suck. And hell, even Georgia has the consensus number 1 pick.
And even UGA is starting to invest. Their first step was bringing in Johnson. They are putting $45 million into facilities to catch up. They have a group of boosters that are tired of UGA competing sporadically in baseball and see it as their next potential big program.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

And they have the money to do it. They have some MEGA boosters over there.

Not to mention Bama was one of the SEC leaders in draft picks last July

We just got run ruled by an our arch rival. Blown multiple MULTIPLE games Due to the same issues we have struggled with for the past 2 years. Tied for 5th in April is better than 14th place for sure. But tied for 5th should be our down years not a prove it year.
The fact you are defending and borderline bragging on here about 5th place is pretty telling

How so? We have not been eliminated from the Supers yet. Basketball and Baseball are all about the Tournament

Is this you saying Lemo needs to make the supers to not be a failure? I can agree with that.

UGA should be able to just recruit within 2-3 hours of campus and have at least a top 10 recruiting class. Vandy gets a lot of players from the Atlanta area.

We also lost our #1 SP but we keep fighting on and remain top half of the SEC. Saying they have failed is moronic

We have 1- ONE- SEC regular season title in the last 35 years. Acting like we are always leading the SEC is very telling about how much you know about baseball

Polk when he basically ran the sec only won sec 5 times. We have had success in postseason yes, but we have not won sec title's frequently at all. Top 5 in the sec is generally top 10-15 in the country. We all want success but we haven't dominated sec regular season baseball in 30 years. It's an arms race now and everyone is spending on baseball now and the sec is more competitive than it's ever been. Let's hope we keep winning this year and finish strong. We have work to do but are in good shape. I say we finish 16-14 or 17-13 in the sec
Sec baseball is way more competitive than sec football.

Food for thought:
We go 17-13 in the SEC after being picked last- Lemon gonna get votes for SEC COY

It's not out of reach for sure. This weekend will go a long way but with 4 series left I think for sure we get 6 more wins.

Small correction- Polk won 4. 79, 85, 87, 89
Once Bertman got entrenched at LSU? Polk was bounced back a level

Yep you're right I counted his uga title in with ours. 4 titles in 29 years at State. I love Coach Polk, but we've never dominated sec championships.
You said it earlier though basebal and basketball is about the postseason. Get there and win.
Our success over the years has been in postseason. We have more cws appearances than sec titles, 12-11.

I will give you some credit, when you are against someone you would blame them for stubbing your toe. When you are for them you would credit them for the sun coming up
