C’mon man, it takes a lot of courage to give up 11 HR’s in one day and keep pitching…well, at least until you’re run-ruled.

1- The game we lost when I think we blocked a field goal, but they called our guy for landing on the back of our own player and did a redo

2004 game; it was an extra point we blocked

1997 The entire stadium yelling “Run the ball” because Cecil was unstoppable (27 carries for 235 yards). Late in 4th quarter, third and one, and Herb Tyler rolls left and throws incomplete (he could have walked to the first down). Auburn gets ball and drives for winning score.

1994 FIVE Jamie Howard picks in the FOURTH QTR! Fortunately interceptions thrown in a quarter is not an NCAA stat category. Three were pick sixes. Auburn had ONE first down the entire second half and overcame 14-point deficit. Thanks “Curley”.

Well, maybe if you understood baseball, who knows, you might enjoy it.

Yikes! If you were an LSU fan you wouldn't survive the brutal hazing for one day on Tiger Rant by fellow LSU fans. The upside is your in-laws' comments to you would seem kind in comparison. A little of (I'm sure, unwanted) advice, don't stomp on an ant pile, you'll just get bit repeatedly, otherwise enjoy your stroll through the park.

re: Last time any lsu pitcher threw 130+?

Lange took below slot money because they found something on his physical after the Cubs drafted him. His velocity had dipped a bit at lsu from his freshmen season. Once the Tigers traded for him and fixed him & moved him to the bullpen, he definitely ticked up

So...then...his arm wasn't "ruined" by the number of pitches he threw as a Tiger.

re: Does anyone on the Rant not follow baseball at all?

College baseball is worth watching just to see:
a Braden Jobert or Derek Curiel swing;
a Paul Skenes ball move 18 inches;
a Ben McDonald overhand curve drop about 3 feet;
Cade Beloso do anything;
a Lyle Mouton or Gary Hymel bomb;
Tre Morgan beat the ground with his fist;
a Ryan Theriot slide across the plate;
a Warren Morris fist pump;
and a thousand more reasons.

Pretty sure Les declared that LSU was undefeated that season. Turns out that if you lose in OT it doesn't count.

Nope, he never said that. He said that his team was the only undefeated team "in regulation", which was accurate. Still, a dumb thing to say, but that was Les. LSU had 2 losses that year in regular season. Only one team in D1 had one loss, Ohio State, but they wound up with 2 losses after LSU scored 31 straight points against them. For those who think LSU didn't belong in the Natty Game, which team with 2 losses in the regular season would you have picked over them? (Please don't say Virginia Tech, who lost to LSU 48-7.)

No...not ever. And hats off to the Gators for that double. Two Basketball and two Football Natty's over 2006-2008 span and a CWS Final in 2005. Very impressive indeed.

re: When the SEC Adds More Schools, Who Gets the Call?

Interesting to speculate, but we all know what will decide this...$$$$$.
I'd favor: UNC, Colorado (nice place to visit), Notre Dame (just to piss off the Big "Ten"; and they are in "South" Bend :lol:), and Stanford (again to poke the Big "Ten" by getting a prominent California school). Yeah, I know it's crazy, but as I noted, $$$$$ will decide.
