Top 10 LSU Sports stories for 2009?

With roughly two weeks left in the year, I thought we could look back on what has transpired since January 1 and list the Top 10 LSU sports stories for the year.
Without a doubt, LSU baseball beating Texas to win the College Baseball World Series needs to be No. 1.
That being said, what other stories were big enough to crack the Top 10? I will let you take a stab at it.
1. LSU Baseball beats Texas to win College World Series
For consideration, in no particular order:
- New Alex Box Stadium opens
- Men's Basketball team wins SEC
- Trindon Holliday wins the 100m at the NCAA Track and Field Championships
- Football opens season with 31-23 victory over Washington in Seattle
- Football hires John Chavis and two other defensive assistants
- Football inks top recruiting class
- Tebow, No. 1 Gators stifle LSU in Tiger Stadium
- Saban, No. 2 Tide outlast LSU in Tuscaloosa
- Les Miles feels heat for the brain fart in Oxfart
- Tyson Jackson (#3 overall) headlines class of six tigers drafted
- LSU-Tulane football series cancelled
- Miles finally gets first win over Mark Richt and Georgia
- Football breaks November winless streak in SEC with OT thriller over Arkansas
- Football being investigated for possible recruiting violations
- Women's Gymnastics wins NCAA Central Regional, finishes 6th at Super Six Finals

I think Game 1 of the CWS championship Series deserves its own story.

Replacing Defensive coordinators and monster recruiting class in football could maybe be lumped into one "Football Offseason" or something like that.
