Things will start to get interesting on the Bayou if he has a similar type year.
Come on. Don't do that and be like the revisionist history Lemons haters.Jay Johnson is fine. He took Arizona to the CWS twice and played in the championship series. Why have we all of a sudden become a culture of "well if Coach X didn't have this player or that player he wouldn't have won".

Jay Johnson brought in a stud in the portal and won it all. Isn't that what you are supposed to do? Yes, SKenes turned out to be a generational pitcher, but hell we had guys wanting to bring him in as our DH.

Chris Lemons took his roster that he started with at the beginning of the season and won it all. Isn't that what you are supposed to do? Ron Cholk had 40 something rosters, filled with all kinds of MLB talent and never won it. Same for Cohen. Same for Van Horn. Same for Schlossnagle. Same for Mike Martin. This contstant crapping on national titles lately has become laughable.

And tell me if this isn't true. There were a LOT of MSU fans in late June 2021 that made the statement to the effect of "I don't care if we win another game, Lord, if you give us this natty."

Maybe those clowns are reaping what they sowed. But all this whining about how Lemons has driven the program off the cliff when it is the farthest from the truth is comical.
