Knoxville knockout

Well, that was a wasted weekend.

For all of the preseason hype out of the LSU camp, the Tigers are now the proud owners of a five-game losing streak and the dubious distinction of having lost three games in a row to Tennessee for the first time.

This is not exactly panic time. It is, after all, the first series of SEC baseball. But Tennessee was picked to finish sixth in the SEC East. That's LAST FREAKING PLACE.

Either LSU is going to improve or all of the hype is going to be hot air.
