Coach of UC Irvine: LSU FANS DO Not Know CIVIL WAR IS OVER- That Was the Nice Part

Oh Dear!!! LSU has quite a game against UC Irvine in the Super Regional. The Coach has been here twice before when he Coached USC and it appears does not have happy memories. I think once LSU fans hear of this they will add to that making sure the South Rises Once Again on Top of his head after this Series.

Article from the Newport News out of California(where apparently they know the Civil War is over and are not Rude ,and Uncouth it seems unlike you know who) that is very good ’Eaters to take on red-hot LSU. Read the whole thing. However let me focus on these quotes:

The Tigers, coached by Paul Mainieri, play before, arguably, the most loyal fans in college baseball at Alex Box Stadium, where a corrugated tin roof extending from the press box magnifies the sound the fans produce.“I imagine it’s much like it was, which is beyond crazy,” said Gillespie, who coached USC teams that lost in regionals at LSU in 1990 and 1994.

“It’s going to be an exciting place to play, I don’t think there’s any debate about that.They turn out in full force and they’re enthusiastic to the max. It’s too loud to be able to hear yourself think, let alone have anybody communicate with each other, You’ve got to play the game without anybody being able to talk.”

Gillespie said the LSU fans will be different from those UCI encountered at Nebraska.“That was pretty electric,” Gillespie said of Saturday night’s crowd of 8,646 at Haymarket Park that witnessed UCI’s 3-2 win over the host Cornhusker s. “It was a sea of red, but they’re not a hostile group,” Gillespie said of the Nebraska faithful.“ They’re not on you, and they’re not rude and they’re not vicious and they know the Civil War is over and they know how to act,”

Gillespie said, before backtracking somewhat. “Now, I don’t mean to suggest [that is the case at LSU] I really don’t.”

Yeah Right!!!! How many Southern Teams have they played. I highly expect he ain't talking about Tulane

The whole thing is a good read but that part is something else. Welocme to LSU Coach !!! Tigerbait Sucker!!
