LSU takes a break from Southland conference play to host MOST HATED RIVAL.

The best uniforms we've ever worn. We need to bring them back to wear against Tulane.

This is about as big as a regular season week gets. Before we play host this year's BASEBALLAMANIA and our title matchup A&M, we have to play our good friends Tulane.

LSU is ranked #1 in every single poll following A&M's dropped series against Arkansas, and don't look now but LSU has won 11 of their last 12 games.

Chris Chinea will be playing following the gruesome HBP he took on the chin (You could say he took it on the CHIN-EA! PUNS!) and will be catching balls from Austin Bain (0-1, 3.29). Bain won't last long since he's starting the series finale against Texas A&M Saturday, which means one thing:

TACO BELL ANDERSON (0-0, .69) BACK.

Tulane will try to counter glorious leader TBA with Patrick Duester (4-3, 1.85), who started in the first matchup of the season, in which he went 3.1 innings allowing 5 runs off of 6 hits in a 13-7 loss.
