LSU Blows Game 3, Loses Series to Oklahoma

Last night I went with my wife and friends to go see Project Hail Mary, so I saw very little of LSU’s jam-packed Friday night. I saw just a few minutes of the women’s basketball team dominant win over Jacksonville to open up their NCAA Tournament run, and I didn’t see a single pitch from […]
