Lsu will lose to UT on the road. They will of course lose to UK on the road. I think they will also lose to UF or Arky at home. The best chance for a win is at home to Mizzou. So in that scenario they only make the NCAA's if they go deep into the SEC tourney.

FWIW, I think LSU finishes 3-2 at 12-6 in the SEC and 19-12 overall. In that case I think they have to make the tourney final.

quote:Seems reasonable to me. I think they have a very steep hill to climb and winning 3 more games will require much, much more effort and consistency than they've shown lately. And to get to the SECT final is not something I see this team doing. I hope I'm wrong and they surprise us all, but they just don't seem to have the fire it takes. It will be a real shame to miss the tourney this year but I think that is what happens.

And there's a roller down the 3rd base line foul and that'll make the count FAIR BALL! TIGERS WIN!
That also happened last year.
As somebody who has done and taught this before, rule #1 is let the play happen before you call it, especially ON THE RADIO. You don't call a home run off the crack of the bat, no matter how good it sounded and how confident you are. You don't call a catch a catch until it's 100 percent certain. Not "pass complete for a first down DROPPED!" It's simple fundamentals you learn from day one.
One time back in the old days, our call was dropped right before opening kickoff and we missed a 90 yard kick return down to the 5 yard line. After we got service back, it was already 7-0. But I ran it as if it were live and went through the first 3 plays that they missed. Nobody knew better and we were caught up before they kicked off again. If you can do that, you can wait half a second before you call a fly ball that doesn't reach the warning track a home run.

Who listens to the radio anymore?
We should just do away with radio broadcast.
