Gents, below are the Saturday night SEC updates now that all of today’s games are complete and the dust has settled (projections, RPI, record, schedule).
So, the saying is Cardiac Tigers. Does anyone notice every time there is a crazy college football or baseball game recently, it seems like LSU is one of the teams? Rally Opossum. Shoe-gate, Plate-gate, I could go on and on…
Since starting this run at the midway point of conference play, we are now 18-5, 14-5 conference and we have seen our RPI improve from the mid-50s to #20.
La. Tech also had a big comeback today although not as crazy as ours.
Not sure who we are going to pitch tomorrow but my guess is Holman, Jump, and Herring are probably not going to pitch. But nothing would surprise me. Maybe even give each of them a couple innings just to stay in game shape, check timing, etc.
