That was the game of the year for Texas-all those homeruns and strike-outs- and they still couldn’t beat the Tigers!!!

God knows that was one of the best baseball games I’ve seen in a long time!  No doubt in my mind that St. Christopher’s blessings came to the Tigers!  Wow! GEAUX TIGERS!!!

In 1997 the LSU baseball team set an NCAA record for home runs in a season, at 188, that will probably never be broken. That era of Tiger baseball affectionately became known as “Gorilla Ball.” Well, the gorilla has returned to Tiger Town. For the second year in a row, LSU has hit over 100 home runs. So far this season, they have hit 103 with nine coming in the College World Series so far. Seven different players have hit home runs for the Tigers, with only Ryan Schimpf and Blake Dean hitting two each so far for the Tigers. This has led the Tigers to win all three games in Omaha in blow outs: 9-5, 9-1, and 14-5.

The rest of the field has played some very exciting and close games: Texas over USM in extra innings, Arizona State over UNC in extra innings, and Texas coming from six runs down to defeat ASU. Then there is that classic game where Arkansas, one strike from elimination, came back with a two-run two-out homer in the ninth to tie it; and then the home team, Virginia, left the winning run on third base for four straight innings before the Razorbacks won it in the twelfth. And let’s not forget the way Texas got into the final round with LSU - two solo home runs in the ninth to come from behind and defeat Arizona State 4-3.

Awesome! We boated over 100 trout. My nine year son caught one that weighed in at 5lb 6oz. How was the beach? We took a boat ride along the beach in search of the Conservative Chicks Gone Wild in their pelican clad two-piece bikinis. Sadly, we struck out!

Kudos to your son!!!!  That sounds like a home-run.  The beach in Grand Isle is muddy and stinky. It’s still a fun place to go, though.  And our friends’ camp is right on the beach which is nice.  Did you have on your flag Speedo, Curve?  I’m sure your fishing buddies thought it was FABULOUS!

So when is the fish fry. Of course I prefer mine pan fried with crawfish or crabmeat on top.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

Did y’all hear the announcers last night say that the slogan around the Tiger tailgate area was “We brought the gumbo but left “Rice” at home!”? tongue laugh

Is it just me, or are the ESPN announcers getting more annoying with each game? And why do they think we need coaching tips? They should save that nonsense for the Little League World Series.

They really don’t seem all too interested in just announcing the game.

Why do they feel it’s necessary to constantly chatter?  A few moments of silence would be OK.  Some of the things they say are ridiculous.  And Mike Patrick (I think that’s his name) can’t get anything right.  He has to correct himself or be corrected way too frequently.  I am irritated that we lost and so they seem even more irritating, I think.

And the Twitter crap is getting a little old.

As for the game.... Texas just shut down our hitters. LSU should be able to win if they hold an opponent to just 5 runs.

They also love to repeat themselves.
