Baseball v Florida starts @4:30 or thereabouts. The game will be carried locally on Cox Sports. Ranaudo will get the nod today. GameThread coming up shortly. An interview with Blake Dean after the break.
The ALL-SEC baseball teams were announced yesterday. Gibbs made the 1st team and All-Defensive team while Nola and Gaudet made the 2nd team. The league also made it known that they are shopping bids for a new SEC Tournament host site starting in 2012. The bad news is that the 3 front runners are Duluth, GA., Memphis, and *ugh* Hoover.
Because you wont hear it anywhere else (well, except in the Advoc), LSU-Eunice has advanced to the NJCAA World Series in Enid, Okla. If you are looking for future transfer material, remember the names Raph Rhymes, Eldred Barnett, and Gabriel Thibodeaux.
Postseason T&F honors were announced for Coach Shaver (SEC Women's Coach of the Year) and FR Takeia Pinckney (Women’s Freshman Runner of the Year).
A recent govt report confirms that at least as of late 2005, LSU football still carries the cachet we believe it does with local bureaucrats. To be honest though, a trip to the Peach Bowl in '05 from a friend would probably be the high point of that year for any St. Charles resident, let alone an MMS employee. 2005 was kinda rough on all River Parish residents if I recall...
A small congratulations to all the Arky fans today on the selection of a new live hog as the next Tusk. Give'm a year or 2 to grow and he'll make for some good eatin. Even for the opposition, Live animal mascots are part of what makes college sports awesome.
And that 2-day country music festival/LSU Heath Services experiment in Heat Exhaustion triage in Tiger Stadium is this weekend, and Death Valley is getting decorated for the occasion. Early reports suggest ticket sales around 80-90,000, which would be quite impressive for it's first year. I wonder how the stage setup looks....

It continues to amaze me that TS appears to be the only place in South LA where grass doesn't grow a foot a week.

Quick analysis
Either we’ll get pitching or we won’t. If we do, we win. If we don’t, we lose. I have no earthly idea why our pitching is this bad.

I bet
They let the field go because lets face it, whatever the condition this concert is going to do enough damage.

Don't know how true it is
but I heard that Field Turf gets insanely hot, and therefore it isn’t really an option yet for open air stadiums in the South.
It gets
UNBELIEVABLY hot. Like ridiculous. In the afternoon, on top of dealing with the regular turf/rug burns, you have to deal with literal burns too. You can see heat waves coming off the field. No lie. Turf sucks, burns up your feet w/ blisters too.
