The opinions of LSU fans on worth of the SEC Baseball Tournament vary greatly. One camp, that probably considers themselves the "old guard" portion of the fan base, doesn't really care what happens in Hoover. After all, Skip Bertman never thought it was important to win and openly commented about how little he cared about winning it. In fact, only once in Bertman's five National Championship years, 2000, did LSU complete the clean sweep of SEC and NCAA tournament championships. Another part of the fan base sees Hoover as a very important step towards a National Championship. After all, it has some of the strongest competition LSU could face all year before Omaha.
