Why is USL so important that we should play them more often?


Continuously ranked baseball program.
Second largest University in the state.
Only 45 min trip down I-10.
Lots of hate between the two schools.
Need I go on?

Whoever thinks that LSU doesn't need to play the Cajuns to improve their RPI, doesn't understand RPI.
Winning a series against a top50 RPI team could be the difference between hosting only a regional vs also hosting a super regional.

Football is on a different level of course. But all other sports would be great competition/rivalry.

To repeat, LSU does not NEED to play ULLLLL in baseball to improve its RPI. LSU has played the #1, #10, #11 teams in the country so far. LSU by the time the season ends, will have played at least 7 teams in the Top 20, at least 4 in the Top 10. Three times each. With the SEC tournament, add at least 2 more Top 20 teams if not higher ranked. That's roughly, 25 games against Top 20 teams. Out of 50+ for the season. Tell me again why playing ULLLLL would have a roll in making a Super Regional happen? And ULLLL will never be a rivalry game in any sport.

Garbage. ULL is not on LSU's level in any sport. One NCAA men's basketball tournament win since the Bo Lamar days 44 years ago. Never won an NCAA tournament game in women's basketball ever. ONE baseball appearance in Omaha. Heck....LSU has even passed up ULL in women's softball the last few seasons. Golf? No. Track & Field? No. Tennis? No. Where's the great competition?
