Bad Weekend for LSU Tigers
What else can you say? What looked to be a fun-filled, winning weekend for LSU and fans, turned out to be nothing we had hoped for at all.
The Baseball team dropped 2 of 3 to what was said to be an average Illinois team. Friday night 3-1 and Sunday 6-2. However, the Tigers did hit three grand slams (Leon Landry, Micah Gibbs, and Nicholas Pontiff) in the 22-10 win Saturday….tying a record with 8 other teams, but the first to do it in the SEC. Tyler Hanover, Sean Ochinko, and Grant Dozar also added home runs along with Landry who had another bomb. The Tigers begin SEC play this weekend with Kentucky at the Box, but not before taking on Southeastern LA in Hammond Tuesday night and ULL in Baton Rouge Wednesday night. More after the jump……
The Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams both lost on Saturday. The men to Auburn in Auburn and the women to #22 Vanderbilt in the 3rd round of the SEC Tournament in Little Rock, AR. That’s not the way either team would have liked to return to Baton Rouge. The men better come up with something as their SEC tourney begins this week and they will take on the winner of Ole Miss and Kentucky Friday at 1pm. Here is the tournament bracket.

The number one collegiate baseball team in allll of the land, your LSU Tigers, improved to 7-0 yesterday as they swept Central Florida in front of 4,303 fans at the Box. Leon Landry, Austin Nola, and Chad Jones all had solo shots while Jared Mitchell blasted two shots in the 16-0 route. Austin Ross (2-0) got the win, shutting out UCF in six innings of work. The Tigers hit the road for the first time as they take on UNO on Tuesday.
I mean really….is the football team really going to have the lowest post season ranking of the big 3? If you say you called it, you lie….YOU LIE!!!!
LSU Baseball Ranked #1 in Collegiate Baseball Preseason Poll
The LSU Tiger Baseball Team is ranked number one in the preseason poll released on Monday by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. The complete poll can be seen here. LSU edged out North Carolina by one point to claim the top spot. Rice, Georgia, and Stanford round out the top five.
LSU is lead by several projected early round picks in the 2009 MLB draft such as OF Jared Mitchell, OF Blake Dean, and SS D.J. LaMahieu. Also returning are standouts Micah Gibbs, Ryan Schimpf, Leon Landry, and Shawn Ochinko. In all, the Tigers have eight starters returning from a team made it all the way to the College World Series in Omaha last year.
After struggling through a tough 7-5 football season this year, fans have something to look forward to in the new year. The basketball team is 9-1, we currently have the #1 recruiting class in the nation, Brad Pevito is leaving – ending the dreaded co-defensive coordinator shit, and the baseball team is projected to be good. Things are looking up. Like Stevie Wonder says….Go Tigers!
