What did we pour into today's Brew?

🏈 End of an era
⚾️ Pro Tigers battle for the conference
🐯 And much, much more!

Hey Fightin’ Podcast. The Fighting Tigers of LSU took it at the 'Zou. Harrison Valentine and Jacob Hester recap a thrilling, but critical victory in Columbia over Missouri, highlighted by heroics from quarterback Jayden Daniels and a pick six from Major Burns to seal the win. With five of their last six games at home, LSU will look to build off the momentum, starting this weekend in front of a sold out crowd against Auburn.

Hearing Voices. On this week's edition of Hearing Voices, Chris Blair travels to the Plains to visit with Auburn radio voice Andy Burcham ahead of Saturday's contest in Death Valley.

🔼 End Of An Era. Tomorrow will mark the end of a 32-consecutive year run of LSU vs. Auburn, as they aren’t scheduled to play each other next season. Auburn is coming off of their bye week while LSU is coming off a 49-39 road win at Missouri. This is the second week in-a-row that LSU has taken on another set of Tigers. This Saturday Night in Death Valley is sold out, so if you can’t make it — it’ll be live on ESPN at 6pm.

Before the game, you’ll have a chance to see the men’s basketball team practice in the PMAC! They’ll hold an open practice from 1:00-2:30pm.

🔼 Let’s Talk Pros. The Tigers had five alumni in the 2023 MLB Playoffs, tied for the most from a single college. We already have a weekend full of Tiger sports, but you need to add Alex Bregman vs. Josh Smith to your Sunday calendar. They’ll play each other in the ALCS with the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers. Aaron Nola has been grinding out for the Philadelphia Phillies this postseason. He’s pitched 12.2 innings in two games, holding a 1.42 ERA and throwing 12 strikeouts.

🔼 Here Are The Nominees. Some former Tigers have been nominated for World Athletics Awards! Mondo Duplantis was nominated for Men’s World Athlete of the Year. Sha’Carri Richardson has been nominated for Female World Athlete of the Year. You can head to @WorldAthletics on Twitter/X to vote for them!

🔼  Quick With It. The volleyball team is hosting Texas A&M tonight at 8pm at the PMAC. The Tigers will honor breast cancer survivors during a break. They’ll turn around and head to Georgia for a match on Sunday at 1pm. These will be two matches against great defenses. Tonight’s game will be on SEC Network and Sunday’s will be on SEC Network+.
