Today is the start of the “super-regional” baseball series between LSU and UC-Irvine. Best of three, with the winners getting a ticket to the College World Series in Omaha. It’s being played at Alex Box Stadium at LSU. LSU’s playing its best ball right now, and the fans are ready for a Tiger-sized party. Now, if you were a coach of a team- coming to this hostile environment – would you say this?
“They’re [speaking of fans at their previous tournament] not on you, and they’re not rude and they’re not vicious and they know the Civil War is over and they know how to act. Now, I don’t mean to suggest (that is the case at LSU). I really don’t.”
Probably should have waited to say that, bud. It’s on. Tigers vs. ahem, Anteaters. 5 pm CST. Even if you don’t like baseball, it should be a show.

Bulletin board fodder is never a good idea, coach. What was he thinking?!?
Since NC State got knocked out this week, I’ll say a geaux Tigers for you. College baseball is awesome.

Dudette. I spoke too soon. Not only is NCSU still in the hunt, but UNC and Coastal Carolina are battling for honors, too.
My geaux Tiger campaign has been officially suspended until further notice.

Civil War references always slay me. They always reference it because that’s the only thing about the south they ever learned in school.
