No. 1 with a bullet

I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see LSU ranked No. 1 in the Collegiate Baseball poll.

It's not that I didn't think LSU would be in the college baseball elite. The Tigers did go to the College World Series last year.

It's just that I had some concerns about their pitchers -- particularly their starters.

Apparently, those concerns are unfounded.

Anyway, after several years of little build up to a baseball season, this year figures to have the most build up for an LSU season since Skip Bertman was coaching the Tigers.
