Tigers Win! Tigers Win! Tigers Win! 8-5 in 16 innings. Doug Norman pitched the final three scoreless innings to get the win.
Longest game in Alabama history....was curious to see how their website talked about the game, so I just logged on. Kind of pathetic...they do not identify LSU players by name in the story. It's "LSU's third baseman hit a 2-run triple" and so on. Jeez, guys, you don't have a roster?
I really don’t expect any fan base to have humility. Especially ones that win a lot including LSU fans. Comparing the definitions of each --- Humility and Sports Fan (see below), looks like a sports fan by definition is anything but humble. How many sports fans truly respect their team's place in context? We all can't even come close to agreeing what the pecking order is. Humility (adjectival form: humble) is variously seen as the act or posture of lowering oneself in relation to others, or conversely, having a clear perspective and respect for one's place in context. In a religious context this can mean a recognition of self in relation to a deity or deities, acceptance of one's defects, and submission to divine grace or as a member of an organized, hierarchical religion. Absent a religious context humility can still take on a moral and/or ethical dimension. Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, often in contrast to narcissism, hubris and other forms of pride. Humility by definition can also be the quality or condition of being humble. <><><> Sports Fan A sports fan can be an enthusiast for a particular athlete, team, sport, or all of organized sports as a whole. Sports fans often attend sporting events or watch them on television, and follow news through newspapers and Internet websites. The mentality of the sports fan is often such that they will experience a game, or event while living vicariously through players or teams whom the fan favors[original research?]. This behavior manifests itself in a number of different ways, depending on the venue. At a stadium or arena, sports fans will voice their pleasure with a particular incident, player, or team by cheering, which consists of clapping, fist-pumping, or shouting positive exclamations toward the field of play and ultimately, the favorable object. Likewise, displeasure toward a particular incident, player, or team may be met by fans with booing, shouting of expletives, and sometimes throwing of objects onto the field. This violent type of fan reaction is often called hooliganism.
