I can understand OSU fans riding a high from securing an opening CWS victory. However, it's pretty clear that this site is littered with bandwagon OSU baseball fans b/c true baseball fans aren't this delusional. It's amazing how bad LSU is all of a sudden in your eyes after watching 1 game, which was a WIN in the CWS. Sure, this was not close to one of LSU's better games and Lange was off missing his fastball command all game. Still, LSU scored 5 runs on 9 hits with 0 Errors to extend their winning streak to 17 games by beating a fairly hot FSU team which was on a 13 game winning streak itself. I can honestly say without a doubt in my mind that the OSU fans here are more full of themselves than Alabama football fans. I actually can't believe I'm saying that but it's true. The difference is that they are a major storied program with the hardware to back it up. I watched OSU play CSF today and I'm not sure what game you guys were watching that has this board's confidence so high. I like OSU and think they are a very good team. That opinion does not change just b/c they didn't come out the gate swinging in the CWS and blowout their opponent. Only non-educated baseball fans take 1 game and define that team while disregarding a whole seasons success including conference and tournament titles Good Luck Monday (I know..... You guys don't need it b/c it's just LSU) Jrock, I think part of what you are seeing is confidence in the team, and part of it is reaction to being slighted. Regardless of how justifiable it is or isn't, Oregon State has caught a lot of completely undue heat over their SOS. Was the Pac-12 as strong as the SEC? Not gonna deny it wasn't. But a team that deep doesn't suddenly go from 49-4 in the regular season to 34-19 just by being over there, which is, honestly, what was being insinuated by many SEC fans. That rankles us on the west coast, and not just in the orange and black; most of the conference has that feeling about the SEC in just about every sport (there is a LOT of "if you aren't the SEC, you're inferior" talk that comes out of that conference, even if I haven't seen a ton of it out of LSU fans, honestly). It's why the crowing was so hard against Vandy - that was a bloody mismatch, but most Vandy fans were calling it as if it were even going in, or that they should be favored, almost entirely because of their playing in the SEC. Backing your team is one thing - we all do it. But you don't need to tear the other guys down to talk yours up (and that goes for our fans as well, honestly). Add to that the black eye that the program has suffered off the field lately, and there's a lot of raw feelings over here, so we as a whole aren't reacting well to being dissed right now. Unfortunately, that has made a few of us a little more grating as hosts than we might normally be. That said, I do agree that LSU is an incredibly good team, well worthy of their seed. There's a reason they've won 17 in a row. I said earlier that OSU/LSU is the pre-championship match of the entire tourney, and I meant it. Neither of our teams looked pristine in Game 1, but they did both look gutty, and that's what you need to be to win. Pretty doesn't matter now. Now it's 4 more wins - or 5 if you want to do it the hard way. You need to be real good to make it to a CWS as a 4 seed, and real good to win 17 in a row, regardless of your conference. Kudos to LSU on that, for sure, they deserve it. But that's also why Beaver fans are so big on the team this year - the record isn't simply good, it's a legit threat on historic at the current 55-4 standing (how many times have any of us seen not one, but two 20+ game win streaks in a year by the same team, for example?). Even with twice as many losses, Oregon State would be several games clear with the best overall record. It's hard to argue "Yeah, but SOS" when a team is THAT far ahead. You could argue they wouldn't have as big a lead, but arguing they wouldn't be #1 would be really hard to back up, especially with an ERA a full run clear of anyone not named Illinois-Chicago (of all the teams, right?). I'm not saying you are making that argument, but we've heard it. Repeatedly. And honestly, IMO, it's not well backed up, so it grates on us as fans. Rest assured that the only reason I'm not saying good luck on Monday is because, well, selfishly, I want LSU to have rotten luck that day, purely for the benefit of my Beavers. Any other day? Seriously, out of the SEC, I'll root for the Tigers against anyone, and be happy when they win. Sorry you're offput by the attitudes of some of our fans though - I just thought it might help to throw a little perspective on it. Enjoy the CWS man - regardless of the outcome |

Are you freaking kidding me? we are winning games without our best pitcher and starting LF, we have won 55 games out of 59 and have won 22 straight, now i know stating that will offend the paper tiger fans, but how can we not be extremely confident in out team? If you didn't want to talk with biased fans then don't come on your next opponents message board and get your fragile ego damaged. |

As an LSU fan and alumni, I have the upmost respect for OSU. Right now I think there's only one team that can beat LSU and that is OSU. I think the loser of this game will make it out of the losers bracket and face the winner again. Hope the game Monday is a great one with LSU prevailing!

I don't think it's the confidence in our team that rankles the Tiger faithful, it's the comments of "LSU got that game handed to them, nothing to fear there, if you don't think we will win you are a fool" nonsense we are pumping out. I'm constantly amazed at our pitching staff and record. The idea that they can keep up this sub-2.00 era for the entire season is so crazy, because we've NEVER seen something like this. You'd think they'd all be due for a bad outing at some point. I'm terrified the other shoe is gonna drop on every pitch. How many hits did we put right by the pitchers glove in the late innings yesterday? Off the bat, half of those base hits looked like routine groundouts on tv, and yet they found their way to the outfield EVERY TIME. You don't get to 55-4 by accident to be sure, but you also don't get there without some luck. One of our biggest assets right now is that record. It makes coaches second guess themselves (see Vanderhook, Rick) and pitchers who have been lights out all season suddenly lose the strike zone completely. It's been so fun to watch, but act like we are miles ahead of our competition and our banner raising back in Goss next season is a formality is crazy talk.

LSU will beat OSU by atleast 5 runs GEAUX TIGERS That's some funny stuff, right there. Like most baseball walks and errors define winners and losers. Having watched LSU / FSU pretty sure Oregon State is better in both categories. FSU had two Es on one play to give LSU the tying run. Gimmes don't come from Oregon State. I like where OS is with available arms, they can play matchup late if necessary. I don't think LSU gets the kind of balls to hit like they do facing teams with lesser bullpens all year. |

LSU doesn't give you many freebees either. Walker's last start he did not have one 3 ball count and he pitched 8 innings against Rice in the regional. Pretty impressive for a true freshman. Hopefully the big stage in Omaha won't rattle him. If he struggles early, CPM won't hesitate to put Gilbert in who can give LSU 4-5 innings of relief consistently. Tell me about Frehmel. Thanks God he isn't a lefty. LSU does much better against righties than lefties.

Jrock you are right on. Nothing wrong with having confidence for your team, but to think LSU will be an easy win is laughable. Did LSU have a great game offensively??? No, but found a way to win just like OSU did. Is Florida State better then CSF?? We will find out soon enough. LSU has the championships on the wall yet we still respect our opponents. We have been spoiled. LSU fans think the season is a huge disappointment if we don't go to the CWS every year. We played like crap last night and still won. Can't wait till Monday. Much respect for OSU. Should be a great game. Tons of respect for the LSU baseball program, and agree that it will be an exciting game. The Tigers are on a huge winning streak themselves and are the scariest team on our side of the bracket IMHO. I have lots of family down in Louisiana as well and several of them including one of my uncles are huge LSU baseball fans, so much respect. All that said, Bryce Fehmel is an SEC killer. Don't believe me? Just ask Vandy. Their fans were coming around saying the same things before they faced Bryce. (SEC!!! SEC!!!! blah blah blah) And their offense with a red hot Will Toffey scared me more than LSU's does. I can't speak to how a potential rematch on Friday or Saturday might go down, but with Fehmel on the mound Monday, might as well turn out the lights. This one's over. 😄 |

Thanks God he isn't a lefty. LSU does much better against righties than lefties. Fehmel came to OSU in the class that brought Madrigal and Grenier. Fehmel out of high school was a highly recruited middle infielder. With some situations that developed for Oregon State he took the moins and was extremely successful as a true freshman. His sophomore campaign he hit some dead arm mid season struggled. However after some time off, Vandy looked inept against him. He is a spot pitcher, four pitch (3 good ones), pitch to contact kind of guy. Frustrates guys who think they should be crushing that meat, but aren't. Like most guys at this time of year, get 5 or 6 innings give up 2-3 runs and let the bullpen work. Omaha TD and the speed of OSU outfielders will help Fehmel along with rock solid up the middle it's actually a good matchup for Fehmel. I'm sure you'll be offended but from my perspective LSU lacks plate discipline. |

This really has nothing to do with Monday's game, just LSU fans in general. I was in Baton Rouge for the game in 2004 and beforehand, every LSU fan was super nice to me, giving me food and drink without exception. I feel their generosity was due to their overwhelming feeling that they were gonna grind us poor Beavers into the ground. After the game, they were equally hospitable because they hadn't.
The other thing that sticks out is how perplexed they were when I told them I came from Portland. "That's a long drive", they said. Telling them I came by plane, they were equally quizzical. No lie. I'm sure I could have convinced them we just got color TV, but I didn't want to toy with the mouse any longer.
Beavs win.

We treat every fan base the exact same way(even Alabama fans)... it has nothing to do with expectations or outcome and never has, it's called hospitality... We fill you up on good food and beer and send you on your way, regardless of who you are, who you cheer for and regardless of outcome... you are not special in that respect As for the "drive"... lol... it's a joke that you didn't catch... work on that sense of humor, baw... which brings me to my next point... it's plainly evident that you baws have a superiority complex over people from the south... this isnt the first time I've seen ignorant remarks about LSU fans on this site... congratulations on being another uninformed dolt from the PNW... you wear your conceited ignorance well PNW SJWs have given us plenty of fodder to insult y'all with, so it would be wise to keep ignorant insults to a minimum... but I don't want to toy with the mouse any longer. Tigers win. |
