GEAUX TIGERS!!

From the page: "Baseball: LSU wins sixth national championship
DAVE WEAVER / The Associated Press
LSU players celebrate Wednesday after defeating Texas, 11-4, in the deciding game of the NCAA College World Series baseball finals in Omaha, Neb.
OMAHA, Neb. -Entering the College World Series, LSU was portrayed as the most consistent, dominating team in the postseason. Texas was seen as the team of destiny, the same title LSU held last season heading into Omaha.
Well, there's one problem with destiny, as the Tigers found out last year: it can be fickle.
After a lackluster performance in their 5-1 loss to Texas on Tuesday night, the Tigers came out firing early and held on late en route to an 11-4 victory, improving their record to 15-1 after a loss.
The win sent the team into a dog pile full of tears of joy and got the thousands of LSU fans in attendance cheering out "L-S-U! and "Geaux Tigers!" as the Tigers captured their sixth national championship.
"We've been so consistent all year," said LSU sophomore catcher Micah Gibbs. "We knew that we would be able to come back [from the loss], and that's exactly what we did today."
This is the second time LSU has won the Southeastern Conference regular season title, the SEC tournament title and the national title in the same year. The only other LSU team to do so was the 1993 squad. The Tigers are also 6-0 in winner-take-all national championship games."
