 | LSU retired baseball numbers - Billy Ray Valentine on 5/17/13 at 3:45 pm
- do you think they should add anyone?
- if yes, who?
I think they should add 12 & 36 now. Both are pretty much universally thought of as the 2 best players in the history of the program & both are in college HOF.
I'm pretty sure currently Skip & McDonald are the only 2 officially retired nu...

why would you want to lower the odds of the team you pull for to make it into the NC picture?
you do know that is what 9 game SEC schedule or tougher OOC games does, right?
just look at last year
1) if Oh St isn't ineligible or Oreg doesn't slip up, an SEC team does not even make it to the NC g...
