So who do we want in this game tonight (aside from we wanting it going 22 innings early into tomorrow morning)

This. Long game that uses lots of pitchers.

 

[redwing42]

I would think we want LSU to win, since they are using Skenes tonight.

Yep. Their pitching staff is....not good outside of him. https://lsusports.net/sports/bsb/cumestats/season/2023/

Our guys clearly were a bit out of sorts on the big stage. Probably very different from any ballpark/atmosphere that they have competed in previously. Not to mention the pressure of the big game. However, they found a way…in spite of all of it. Most championship teams have this ability. I hope that is us. Go Deacs!

LSU has multiple draft picks playing in their lineup.

At this point any team we play will be legit

 

[Henry Chinaski]

I’m all for LSU. Being the favorite is a bad look for LOWF

 

[tsywake]

Hopefully TN keeps it close and Skenes has a high pitch count.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

Good call.

Needed a mojo change. Optimism doesn’t suit me

 

[DeacMan]

Respect.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

What’s the scouting report on the Jell-O shots? Dangerous or are they watered down?

We don’t care who wins. But extra innings would be nice.

 

[DeacMan]

With any sort of run in Omaha LSU will shatter that jello shot record set last year by Ole Miss.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

Dienes’ stuff is silly and he’s so smooth with it

 

[Kory]

Good job Deacs; ya had me shittin my pants late but I appreciate the come back.

keep up the jello shots pop

Looking at the schedule going forward, it looks like we're in the 7 pm slot for the rest of the way until the Finals.

WXII had a story from the local Omaha NBC station. They look pre-made, where you peel the top off to take, so 99.9% sure they're commercial watered down.

Plus, the online link sells pre-packaged shots.

Anyone think we can beat Ole Miss' record from last year? No way in hell we beat LSU this year in the challenge.

 

[PhDeac]

Are LSU fans going to stick around and do shots if they lose tonight and Monday?

Got it. It’s a brilliant idea. Kudos to them on that one

If we know LSU out and stay over we could take home the Jell-O shot title
