Winner. That’s the winner.

So is Alabama committing to baseball?


The entire SEC should be committed to, and stay committed to, the American sport of Baseball. Great hire.

Does Rita have any agreements in place to keep the Saints here long-term?


Rita? As in Rita Benson LeBlanc? She has no ownership interest in the team anymore. It's owned by Gayle Benson Leblanc.

Tulane would have won in 1998.


I agree. LSU was really not competitive and in the midst of a coaching nightmare with Gerry DiNardo. Tulane had a great team with a really good coaching staff. I think Tulane's best chance at beating LSU was that year. Last year could have happened, too, depending on intangibles in the game. No way would it have been a walk through for LSU but Tulane could have, with some luck, pulled it off.

What is the Louisiana school you refer to? Do you mean ULL? There is no University of Louisiana. There is only a University of Louisiana-Lafayette just like there is a University of Louisiana-Monroe.


I love it when Tiger fans refuse to acknowledge that the rest of the country refers to ULL as Louisiana. They seem so petty...and small.
While I fondly remember the days when LSU and Tulane would play the last regular season game of the year, and in New Orleans where there is a very large percentage of LSU fans, the loser fans in certain bets had to push the winner fans around the blocks in wheel barrows, I do not think that this will happen on any kind of a regular basis.

LSU will not give up a home date to Tulane as there is too much money to be made to having any other school come to Tiger Stadium, Tulane included, for a game. LSU would take a bath in the amount of cash that they would lose to play Tulane at Yulman. I don't think it would work at the Superdome, either.

I think this would be the equivalent of Ohio St. playing a home and home on a yearly basis with Ohio or Kent St.

I do miss the LSU/Tulane rivalry. It was definitely much bigger in New Orleans than anywhere else in Louisiana.

Not really a Bama fan, but I love baseball, and I love a good baseball story and you guys have one. Awesome job on the turnaround; your boys have done something to really be proud of.

Hey, I do believe LSU has more skins on the wall than Palmetto St., I mean South Carolina. Back to back? LSU did that, too.

Texas does not, and will not, run the SEC. The SEC has way too many alpha dogs to allow that bullshite to happen. The Big 12, that's another story.
I would like to thank the OP for making my day...but...what happened to him?

Very Sad. Threw its only D1 pitcher against 19-40 Tulane. Oregon St hitting nukes.

Second tier program these days. Getting sent home by Southern Miss and Pac 12 teams



Well, this didn't age well. Play nice.
Skip Bertman.
Results. Listen to his players talk about him and his preparation. Championships count.

Skip Bertman without a doubt. He's also probably the greatest single coach--gameday or otherwise--LSU has ever had.

How in the world did this guy get that job?


Politics.

Seriously, he was the flavor of the month having just guided SMU to some pretty good records. Arkansas needed a coach, looked like they thought they couldn't lose. Turns out they couldn't win.
1982 LSU vs Tulane. LSU had just beaten Florida State and was going to the Orange Ball on New Years Day. Tulane had only won 3 games that year. This was back when, even though LSU dominated the series, it still was a rivalry. Tulane had beaten LSU the year before at the Superdome 48-7 (ugh) and LSU had a great team that was poised for revenge and domination over it's weaker rival. What LSU didn't count on was the rain that muddied up Tiger Stadium's field and the grit and determination of Reggie Reginelli from Tulane who put his team on his back and beat LSU for the 3rd time in 4 years. The score was something close like 35-31 but it should have never been anything near like that. The epitome of the trap game. Yeah, that was tough to watch.

That 1988 Florida beatdown in the monsoon was not pretty, either.
Cue two Oregon St. Freshman pitchers pitching the games of their lives.

Don’t they realize these low end jobs are better off being automated?


You know, there are tons of folks who are only qualified for, and have the intelligence and motivation to be hired in, "low end jobs" as you put it. Don't even say that these folks should go back to school or something.

Our technological advances are going to ruin us. Yeah, get off my lawn, but you watch.

Louisiana has beaten LSU in softball. Deal with it.

Conference expansion sucks. LSU loses the Florida series and instead has to play the shite dicks from college station annually. What a trade!



No kidding. This is horrible. Is this even the SEC anymore? It's like we're in some nightmarish half arsed version of the old Southwest Conference. Like... why the hell are Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma even in the SEC? Did the conference need the money THAT BAD?

The SEC West, before A&M contaminated the conference, was good all on its own, even with Arkansas.

Sheesh.

In all my years of judging I've never heard before of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law.

The way you've made them suffer, all the players and their brothers, fills me with urge to defecate.
