LSU's Buzzy Haydel - We Are Going to Win this Thing In Omaha!!

LSU Baseball player Buzzy Haydell is Hilarious!! He has been blogging from Omaha at the College World series. The video interviews are so funny. I about bust a gut looking at this one Sean Ochinko with "The Buzz" (6/13)

Anyway Tiger Fans, we had a loss last night but our Tigers are not quiters!!! He says:

Day 3 Recap (June 15)
First off I want to start off by saying Happy Father’s Day to all fathers out there. I especially want to recognize my dad, Marty Haydel and grandfather, Zeke Madere. If I end up with half of their character, I know I’ll be just fine in this life. Secondly, I want to say that Mrs. Marilyn McCarty and her son Logan McCarty arrived late last night and was introduced to the team at breakfast this morning. Mrs. Marilyn and Logan are the wife and son of the late Curt McCarthy. Curt McCarthy was a huge Tiger fan and will be greatly missed by the LSU community. Marilyn and Logan are in Omaha to watch us play, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have them with us.
I want to personally thank LSU Sports Properties and Delta Airlines for providing airfare. I also want to thank Enterprise of Baton Rouge for providing the rental car and WAFB-TV for the hotel room. Finally, I want to thank Tiger Athletic Foundation for providing tickets to the ballgame. Without these organizations and businesses, this trip for Mrs. Marilyn and Logan would not have been possible. Thanks again to everyone for allowing a father’s wish to come true.
Now it was game time. Everyone on the team couldn’t be more excited for the game to start. We were playing North Carolina in the College World Series. What could be better? As a team, we were very loose, confident and focused.

Before the game started, everyone on the team was excited to see Erin Andrews, ESPN reporter. (LOL I BET).

When the game started I was amazed at how many people there was. It was packed. This was college baseball at its best. If the first batter of the game was any indication of how the game will go, then we would have beaten this team. Michael Hollander took a 1-2 fastball and distributed it deep into the left field bleachers to lead off the game. We went crazy in the dugout. We knew this game was ours. Unfortunately for us, UNC starting pitcher Alex White got better and we really could never get anything going.

As the Tar Heels went on to win 8-4, all I could think about was this is why this tournament is double elimination. We know we are not out of this and plus we always play better with our backs against the wall. Everyone on the team is still very confident, and we know we are still going to win this thing. Now that the game was over, we focus our attention to the Rice Owls. We can’t do anything about this UNC game except flush it out our memories. The next game between us and Rice is 1 p.m. Tuesday. Until then, tune in with me and get “The Buzz From Omaha.”


GEAUX TIGERS!!!!
