LSU Baseball To Play Hideous Yankee Rodent Looking Folks From Binghamton University New York Tonight (Links)

What in Heavens name is that!!! I looks like a Cross between a rat, a cat and some perhaps bear.

When I saw we were playing some school called Binghamton University my first thought was who? I assumed it must be of these small Presbyterian schools that are in the Calvinist enclaves of North Carolina or something similar in nature.. However they are not. They are FROM NEW YORK. This will be the first time LSU has played Binghamton in History.

So welcome Binghamton Bearcats to the RED STICK.

On their web site they say they are "The best public university in the northeast. Period." Mighty big claim!! They already sound like the Yankee version of Ole Miss with that attitude.

Binghamton to is small city in upstate New York located near the New York - Pennsylvania border. It also The Parlor City" and"Carousel Capital of the World. Also it appears it is surrounded by ugly beasts that make NUTRIA look pretty. The Univeristy was established around 1946 (very ULM like). However unlike ULM it has a LAW school and already a nice list of Alumni.

Their Alumni include among others William Baldwin, that funny girl on the Progressive Insurance commercials , and Tony Kornheiser, Washington Post sportswriter, host of Pardon the Interruption on ESPN, and former co-host of Monday Night Football.

Tiger Rag has a initial post here at Binghamton visits Tigers tonight at Box that has some audio interviews. LSU Coach quote of interest "They beat Tennessee earlier this year, and they just won two out of three against Centenary last weekend. Their players know how to win, so we have to make sure we’re ready on Wednesday night.”


Back to discussing the enemy for a second.

Their web page is pretty nice for the team and they were just down the road it appears playing Centenary. Binghamton won the series. NOW it is to LSU. See their story on their very good 2009 season here.

Here is their PDF media guide.
