LSU plays it's final match of the regular season this upcoming weekend against the University of Houston. This game serves as a much needed warmup game before the Red River Championship against Baylor. LSU hasn't been in action since a 34-10 win over A&M on March 4th. In the meantime the only other result was a forfeit win over Arkansas. Since that win over A&M, LSU has remained static in the polls at #16 and the Red River Championship match up has long been decided.

When these two teams met earlier in the season in Houston, LSU came away with a 129-0 shutout win. I expect a very high scoring dominating effort by LSU in it's final home game which will also serve as senior day for the Tigers.

Hopefully there will be one more chance after this weekend to see LSU at home in action as the winner of the Red River will host a home first round playoff game, but nothing is guaranteed.

Kickoff is slated for 1:30PM.

Geaux Tigers! Bulawayo!

Today's match against Houston has unfortunately been cancelled due to weather. Heavy rain, lightning, and poor field conditions are at fault. This leaves LSU without a single match in almost a month leading up to it's Championship Match against Baylor. These kinds of result, a forfeit win and a cancelled game, also hurt the Tigers in the rankings as it causes them to plummet out of the national spotlight. Sometimes though you just have to play the hand you're dealt.

LSU is next in action next weekend in Austin for the Red River Rugby Collegiate Conference Championship... The RRRCCC. Unnecessarily long name aside, LSU is completely focused on taking down a dangerous Baylor side. The Baylor Bears are the surprise team in the league this year. Despite a rough start and a huge loss to Oklahoma early in the fall, they found a way to turn it around. A determined Baylor team managed to win out and captured the Red River North crown.

This one is promises to be a tough battle for the Tigers and they hope to show up in peak form. The winner will receive a first round home playoff game and the loser may be left out of the playoffs entirely. It will be a full day of rugby next weekend in Austin. There will be consolation matches for other Red River teams, followed by a semi-professional match between the Austin Huns and Rugby Utah. This is all leading up to the main event. LSU vs Baylor.
