I am here to extend my apologies to the LSU bullpen. I became a typical fan towards the end of the season. I became highly critical of their performance and allowed the losses to taint my perspective and drag me down into a well of pessimism. I didn't think this team would make it out of a regional, much less the super regional. CWS was not even a consideration. I showed little faith. What was a perceived weakness has become one of the key factors in LSU being in the championship game. The bullpen's performance in the CWS has been everything that you would want. They have done a stellar job and allowed this team to be in the position they are today. We can talk about the incredible highlights by Tre, Tommy and others, but this wouldn't be a consideration without the kids in that bullpen giving their best when their best was needed. They have entered games in some difficult situations against some of the best teams in the country and have given the Tigers just what was needed in critical moments. I stand corrected. You guys have been awesome and I have little doubt that your best will be on display against UF.

Geaux Tigers!

A lot of us have egg on our faces. They’ve been outstanding and I’d argue one of the brightest spots on the team in the CWS.

I said some ridiculous shite at the beginning of the season that Kentucky, S. Carolina, and Tenn were better than us. I’m happily wrong. This has been a season to remember

I think we all had our concerns, especially after the State series.

Personally, I’m very happy to be digging into that heaping plate of crow today.

They improved. It happens throughout the course of a season.
