SIAP but why did the Tigers have to finish on beam as the 1-seed? Did they not follow Olympic order?

I appreciate the idea that LSU is a baseball school now, but as a student in the early 1980s, I never once was even remotely tempted to attend an LSU baseball game. In 1984, LSU's first full-time baseball coach (shows how insignificant it was before), Jack Lamabe, found out he would no longer be the head coach when he saw a want ad for the position in the paper that had been placed by AD Bob Broadhead.
That's how unimportant baseball was... until Skip showed up. And even then, I didn't care or attend in my .last & his first two years that he was there.
Just as Skip made us a baseball school, Dale Brown, (in the wake of Pistol Pete) for all his flaws & waste of talent, made LSU a basketball school, and John Brady & WW showed that it could still be relevant even in the last 20 years. When you have names like Bob Petit, Pistol Pete, Shaq & Chris Jackson on the list of your former players, and 6 final fours, it's hard to call LSU a lower-tier SEC team, which is why our current status brings out so much passion from those of us old enough to remember better days.

Since you're genuinely curious, tho I can't speak for the OP, here's my answer:
I am an LSU fan.
I follow LSU sports & LSU players who make it to the pros. When people ask me which NFL team I want to win, I pick the team with the most former LSU players on it (unless it's the Bengals, haha! Gotta' stick w/Burreaux!) I find myself often torn and inconsistent, but there it is.
So, if there's an LSU player leaving a pro sports team, especially one or our greatest ever, then like the OP, I would be interested where he goes because I support (or am at least interested in) whatever team he's on.
I know some of my homies back in the Boot feel like it's gotta be the Saints, Pels & maybe the Astros (for proximity), but none of those can hold my loyalty like a team w/former Tigers on it.
:geauxtigers:

There is something comforting to me about being able to say, "LSU has more championships this century than anyone besides Bama," but if OSU wins... they tie us at 3, so... (gulp) Texas? (Argh!!! I hate the choices of this whole final 4!!!)

I saw that too!

Old Timer Alert!
My first LSU game was against Ole Miss in 1970 (Archie Who?), and one end zone was blue with red "U M". Can't imagine what the Rant would do if we gave the opponents an end zone today!
:lol:

Thanks for posting the rule and the pic & video. However, you make the point that the player (as shown in your pic) was jumping through a gap, and therefore, was not in violation of the rule, but if you go back a split second, it clearly shows that he was jumping right over a player's body, which led to him being blocked to the side, into a "gap". So...
penalty?
USC jumper

Gotta love the On3 post still showing ND w/a 15 point lead over LSU, while showing him committed to LSU! :lol:

That's good parenting!
