LSU In their Throwback Uniforms(more Pics of players in these cool threads here)Well Let us start out with LSU. THEY WON!!! 7 to 5.
I give a great Maudy Thursday Alleluia to that. Having a losing streak that was started in full force by Southeastern last week and then to have had it continued by Tulane would be quite a downer. The Advocate's Carl Dubois baseball blog has all the action from last night of course with tons of color. He has a ton of posts through out the night but here are last two 10:45 p.m. -- Postgame reaction and 11 p.m. -- More from the Box. Out of the 10:45 pm entry something interesting:
Don't throw away the throwbacks
LSU won with its 1930s-style uniforms. Baseball being a sport of superstitious participants, will the Tigers used them again?
"You might see these uniforms again," Mainieri said. "The players are really politicking for it. They're really comfortable."
The uniforms had the look of the old wool uniforms worn decades ago, but they are made of a lighter, more breathable fabric. Of course, it was pretty chilly tonight.
"I've got to be honest with you," Mainieri said. "I'll give you a little secret: They're so thin and baggy, they keep you cool when it's hot, but when it's cold -- I had to go slip some long-john underwear on because I was freezing."
Nice, like I said earlier today they look sweet.
The Advocate has Tigers rally for victory over Wave .LSUSports net has a nice piece Five-Run Sixth Ends Baseball's Five-Game Slide.

LSU will play its first SEC home series of the season this weekend when the Tigers face Arkansas. Friday's game will start at 7 p.m. Saturday's contest will begin at 3 p.m. and Sunday's game will begin at 1 p.m.
On to Louisiana Tech. I am very excited we are opening up conference play in Nevada tonight. If you wish to see how the WAC teams are doing so far as to standings go here. The Wolfpack are 8 and 8 going into tonight. Who they played and the results can be found here. If you note we share one common opponent so far. That was UT Arlington. Both Tech and Nevada won against them.
