    I am not the biggest LSU historian, because of my age, but is this baseball winning streak the most impressive LSU streak and if not, what is? :)

    I know it's the best for baseball, but has something that was done by another sport still ahead of it?

    Or heck, individual streaks can count in this, too, I suppose.

    Just thought it'd stir good convo.

    Not sure the number but I am sure Women's Track National Championships is pretty impressive.

    11 Consecutive National Women's Track Championships. Nothing comes close.

    A homerun every game in '97 is a pretty impressive streak...

    Was that the year where one game every batter with an at bat hit a homerun? Or maybe it was all but one batter. I can't remember.

    Wow, is there a streak in the nation that can compare to that?

    I believe the UNC women's soccer team won something like 25 championships in a row.

    UCLA's streak of 10 men's basketball championships comes close. Hard to compare the competition between the two sports and eras, though. Women's soccer isn't on the same level.

    UCLA also had a 88 game win streak in men's hoops. And of course, OU had a 47 game football win streak in the 50s.

    But they are still behind the women's track streak, IMHO, especially when you consider they had a long indoor streak at the same time.

    I would disagree with that. I think their national championship streak is the greatest in all of sports, followed by UCLA's national championship streak, then perhaps LSU's.
