re: #TeamThompson Check In. No Tiger left behind!

I’ve grumbled about him, admittedly. But I’ll get behind and support him. Let’s Geaux!

Jordan Thompson is a major part of the reason these Fighting Tigers are playing for a Natty today.

You don’t just jump out of a 1-30 slumps and playing bad defense. I like Thompson, but LSU will have to overcome his play to win. Plain and simple.

Biggest thing for me was his thrown away ball to 3rd. That wasn't just a bad throw, that was a mind that was racing out of control not knowing what to do followed by a yipp throw. That tells me he can't slow the game down in his mind on the biggest stage. That's not dogging him as a person, it's just simply that he's not responding to pressure at all and that usually doesn't self correct overnight. That said, I hope he gets a walkoff win tonight and is the hero. I'm rooting for him.

Sometimes it just takes one good play to correct itself, especially with this level of athletes. I’m not disagreeing with you though. He actually hit the ball well yesterday and had some hard fouls, at least he was putting the bat on the ball though. Hopefully his hits come today

JT is having the worse CWS than any Tiger I can recall. His at bat are abysmal. He doesn't know how to layoff of a pitch.

I support all of our athletes that wear the Purple & Gold. I am tired of seeing disrespect for Jordan Thompson.

Jordan has been loyal to the program and this University.

Please check in below and go on record now. After the first pitch tomorrow, only those who signed in this post can celebrate Jordan when he has a clutch play that contributes to us raising the hardware tomorrow evening.

Geaux Jordan and Geaux All of OUR Tigers!

I will always pull for any athlete representing LSU. Having said that, making a comment wanting someone else to get a chance at SS is not being disrespectful to Jordan Thompson or LSU. What it really boils down to is this: he is 1/30 with 14 K's. He has had, I believe, 3-4 errors just in this world series, including 3-4 plays yesterday that resulted in multiple runs being scored. Those aren't opinions, those are just basic facts. If he played for Florida, every single one of us would be praying that they kept him in the lineup for tonights game! I guess I am just confused as how wanting someone else to replace a player that has the numbers listed above is being disrespectful to said player. Was Saban being disrespectful to Jalen Hurts when he took him out in the 2nd half of the National Championship game and replaced him with Tua? The most important game of the year and the most important position on the team, he took out a guy who led the team all-year when it was clear in that game that he was struggling? I certainly hope he turns it around but wanting someone else to have a chance in the most important game of the year isn't being disrespectful to Thompson.

Go JT!

We got to Omaha with Thompson, we’re leaving Omaha with Thompson. Let’s go, JT! One more ride!

He's a Tiger.
