- Skenes dominance
- Losing to Wake but then coming back to beat them twice in a row (strictly in terms of quality basebal …just as impressive as winning the series vs UF)
- Tommy Tanks
- Beloso bombs
- Jordan Thompson redemption. JJ not giving up on him and fans having his back (that was a cool moment)
- Embarrassing loss in game 2 but having the mental strength to come back and doing the same to UF (admit it..after that UF 2 run homer early in the game we all thought “here we go again”)
- Crews balling out in game 3
- Skenes carrying Milazzo on his back to the celebration.

A team and a season that will be remembered for a long time! Geaux Tigers!

Skenes vs Lowder in the greatest CWS game ever played, with the storybook ending that it deserved

Watching Skenes have a Burrow type run where a transfer that wasn't a household name takes the sport by storm. he was just so much more dominant than everyone and finished off the season with a title

Last night’s crowd consisting of 99.5% Tiger fans chanting:

“JORDAN THOMPSON” each time he was at the plate.

This epitomizes the love we have for our people.

Yes the CWS was one for the ages. So many sorry lines for damn near each player on that unreal roster. The second best thing for me was seeing Beloso, Dugas, Crews, and more than likely Morgan go out as champions. Those four guys were and always will be legends as far as I’m concerned.

Yeah, all the strikeouts by Ty did it for me. That was an amazing performance against a very talented lineup of batters. If he doesn’t have that kind of stellar outing we would have lost that first game. I am so happy for him and the team that he came through when it was most needed.

I think Dugas has gotten lost in the shuffle but he had a really great postseason. His at bat in game 1 vs FL was huge.

Everyone in the line up had 1-2 great moments where they came through in a clutch situation in the UF series. The balance of shared accomplishments is pretty awesome.

I think this is what has resonated so much with us as fans here with this team. Many championship teams are carried by a star or two, but this team was different. Sure, we had stars, but we had guys everywhere busting their tails and coming through in clutch situations, with their backs against the wall. It was a special team for sure!

All of the pitchers not named Skenes performing their arse off were the unsung hero’s in my eyes.

Tre’s play on the bunt should be the LSU version of Jeter flipping the ball to posada to get Giambi at home.

One of the better defensive plays you’ll see and kept LSU alive.

Also gotta give some love to Pearson for his catch in game 1.

A couple. Hurd had a redemption arc almost as dramatic as Thompson’s. He straightened it out before the CWS. But he was seen as unplayable and then pitched the natty.

Another underreported comeback was Pearson’s HR in game 3 after having a very tough postseason.

The emergence of Travinski was a sight to behold. Sucks he was nicked up in the final series but he was unreal when he was fully healthy.

There were so many pivotal moments over the last two weeks. At times it felt surreal.

Made me proud to be a tiger fan. Everybody was trashing him and wanted JJ to bench him and the entire stadium had his back. That's true love right there
