Good day, Tiger fans. Whilst you’re reading this, our LSU beat writer Wilson Alexander and I will be preparing for a private interview session Thursday with LSU coach Brian Kelly. One topic sure to come up? Changes to the staff, including the hiring last week of defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey from South Carolina. Wilson already has a feature on him that I’m sure you’ll want to check out. For whatever else comes up, well, you'll have to come back tomorrow and read about it, won't you? (I know you will.) May is mostly about postseason baseball and softball. Unfortunately for LSU softball, the Tigers were one-and-done in the SEC Tournament on Wednesday, falling 5-3 in 10 innings to Ole Miss in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Back to Baton Rouge for them to await their NCAA Tournament fate. The baseball team, of course, hosts old rival Mississippi State this Friday through Sunday. Across campus, the SEC Track and Field Championships get under way Thursday at Bernie Moore Track Stadium. Click here for an overview of the championships and click here for a feature on LSU middle distance runner Michaela Rose. The women’s basketball headlines continue, but not the kind LSU fans will like to see (sorry guys, don’t knock the messenger, OK?). Rising sophomore guard Flau’Jae Johnson had to issue an apology over a song she posted on social media because of a questionable mention of 9-11. Also, former LSU guard Alexis Morris was cut by the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday after the WNBA team drafted her just last month in the second round. Finally, a happy note LSU-wise. The No. 3-ranked women’s golf team looked like it was done for Wednesday in the NCAA Palm Beach Gardens Regional in Florida. But a furious rally over the final nine holes — final eight holes, really — led by regional co-medalist Latanna Stone allowed the Tigers to grab the final of five qualifying spots for the NCAA Championships. That’s all for now, folks. Thanks as always for reading, subscribing, and for all those times you helped us with our math homework. Couldn’t have passed Algebra II without you, because as they say, those who can’t do math, write. Bye! Scott Rabalais |
