Between Smyley and this baw, I think we're taking over the country club.

It was a great win. Somebody posted it yesterday but it's worth a remention since the other thread was buried in the multiple pre-9th inning meltdown threads on tRant.

MSB maintained Official Thread. LSU Sports information department missed an opportunity to promote this. Mike is a good ambassador for the university. Would have liked to see them give him some support. Although, I am sure they will play catch up now that he is a French Open Champion.
