They are still on WWL, but WWL often decides to broadcast their talk show instead of Tiger baseball, like tonight. When they do that, call their studio line (listed prominently on their webpage) and ask if they are playing the LSU game on any of their channels The more Tiger fans that do that, the more LSU games they'll broadcast For ex, for last season's season opener, i called them, and the lady answering the phone was flustered than yet another Tiger fan was calling, she even yelled over to the hosts asking them to make an announcement on the air saying that they aren't playing the LSU game, because all the callers were Tiger fans asking about the game Sure enough, this year they broadcasted the season opener When i called them tonight, the guy said they will be broadcasting the LSU v Washington game tomorrow night
UNLV (who Tennessee went 3-1 against this season) went to #5/9/9/10/13 Stanford for a 3-game series, and UNLV won Game 1 tonight 3-2...and that is despite Stanford's ace Mark Appel (likely the best player in NCAA baseball this year) striking out 15 of the 28 batters he faced, only walking one of them, and only allowing 4 hits and one earned run
The only Big XII team ranked Top 25 in any poll, #10/12/14/17/18 Oklahoma, played @Southern Cal (mediocre team) tonight and the Sooners lost 3-5 to the Trojans, with USC out-hitting Oklahoma 13 to 8, and each team having two errors It's the only time the two teams face each other this weekend (it's a 4-team jamboree in L.A. this weekend, with the Sooners playing one game against each of the other 3)
BYU, who gave LSU our only loss, won Game 1 of three vs #21/21/21/22/22 UC-Irvine (who swept Baylor and went 3-1 vs Cal) BYU won 6-3, and their CF Brugman (who was huge against us) went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI
Clemson went to #8/8/9/12/14 NC State for a 3 game series and Clemson won Game One in dominating fashion with a 10-5 score and out-hitting NC State 11 to 6
