Gig 'em!!!

I've waited all season for the loss of our two starters to start effecting the Win column. I've been pleasantly surprised. Still have my doubts about how they will hold up in the post season.

Looking forward to this series.

bragging rights and a "feather in one's cap" will mean nothing if the winner of this series fails to advance to Omaha or lays an egg at the CWS

pulling for LSU but focused on this season's primary goal .... WIN a 7th National Title

It really remarkable to think that their 7 NC have been in the last 23 years.

Gig 'em ags!

I think section 203 will have a good showing tonight to cheer the Ags on.

#1 LSU vs #2 Texas A&M baseball tonight

New ball has helped... It was a little cheer for the swamp kittens.





Although, these two teams are ranked 6th and 7th in slugging percentage!

Oh, I'm well aware of the 90's Geaux-rilla Ball!! A buddy still holds most offensive records in SEC baseball. Numbers most likely will never be touched if things stay the same.

Geaux Tigers!

things to watch for LSU if you havent watched any of their games this year. Alex Bregman is probably the best ss in the country and can smoke the ball and makes spectacular plays in the field, Mark Laird and Andrew Stevenson are part of what is no doubt the fastest outfield in the country. They make some spectacular catches also. 7 of LSU's 9 hitters are hitting over .300 the other 2 guys are hitting .298 and .290. Freshman Alex Lange who will pitch Friday is 7-0 with a 1.4 era. Its a shame he isnt pitching one of the national televised games.

Issues for LSU are a true # 3 starter as they still dont have one set in stone, they also dont have a shut down closer at this time. Both of these are very worrisome for post season success. If the games are close it looks like the aggies have the advantage in the bullpen.

Some stats for both teams from NCAA stats (national rank):

Category LSU Texas A&M
Slugging .481 (#6) .481 (#7)
HR 38 (#18) 47 (#4)
Scoring (PG) 7.2 (#15) 7.3 (#13)
Total Runs 296 (#13) 300 (#12)
OBP .386 (#33) .411 (#3)
BA .320 (#3) .316 (#5)
ERA 2.86 (#18) 2.40 (#6)

On paper it looks like it should be a great series.

Edit: can't seem to make columns...sorry, bit hard to read

It really remarkable to think that their 7 NC have been in the last 23 years.

When Skip was hired in 1984, avg. attendance for home games was less than 1000 ppl. LSU baseball was a joke. He converted a football & basketball school into a dominant baseball program in just 2 short yrs.

LSU has led the Nation in attendance for 20 consecutive years . 11K tickets are sold of which most are season tickets. Turnstyle (actual) attendance is closer to 10,600 avg. for each game. 8,000 may show up for a mid-week game vs. McNeese, and the following weekend 11,500 will show up for a SEC rivalry series vs. Vandy, Ole Miss, USC, etc...

Skip coached 18 yrs at LSU and went to Omaha 11 times , he finished his career with 5 NC's

He totally changed the mindset and mentality of LSU fans everywhere. There's a 5 year wait just to get season tickets and there's no guarantee you will get choice seats. You have to donate BIG $$$ just to move up the season ticket list and then wait til someone doesn't renew theirs
