Bayou Brew 6/16: Greatest Show on Dirt

Good morning. We’re diving into the weekend head first. We have trophies, All-American honors, new schedules, and the College World Series on the slate. Let’s get into it!

What all are we mixing into today's Brew?

🎥 Sights and sounds of the Super Regional
⚾️ More accolades incoming
🐯 And much, much more!

Uncut. Yesterday, we gave you all the sights and sounds from game one of the Super Regional. Today, we’re giving you game two. You’ll see and hear the roaring crowd during Dylan Crews’ last at bat in Alex Box Stadium and all the celebrations that followed.

🎥 Watch the Tigers punch their ticket to Omaha with this episode of Uncut on LSU Gold!

🔼 How Do You Like Him Now? The accolades never stop for Paul Skenes, he just won the 2023 Dick Howser Trophy! The trophy is given to the most outstanding player in NCAA DI baseball and is considered the Heisman Trophy of college baseball. Teammate Dylan Crews was also a finalist.

🎥 Watch Paul Skenes talk about the news on MLB Live.

🇺🇸 All-American Boys. Three Tigers were named First-Team All-Americans by the NCBWA. Dylan Crews, Paul Skenes, and Tommy White all received the honor as they’re three of the best players in college baseball.

🚀 Dylan Crews was named Perfect Game National Player of the Year.

🔼 World Series Attitude. The Men’s College World Series kicks off for LSU tomorrow at 6:00pm against Tennessee. If you made the trip to Omaha, check out Annie’s Irish Pub before the game. The Tiger Athletic Foundation, the L-Club, and the LSU Alumni Association will be hosting the official LSU Headquarters there.

🔼 Tee Time. We have some big golf news all across the board today.

⛳️ Former LSU golf star Sam Burns is competing at the prestigious U.S. Open this weekend. The former National and SEC Player of the Year is ranked No. 14 in the FedEx Cup Standings.

⛳️ Ingrid Lindblad won her opening match of the Women’s Amateur Championship in England to advance to the round of 32. Edit Hertzman also advanced after winning two matches.

⛳️ More good news incoming for Ingrid and Latanna Stone, they were both named Golfweek All-Americans! Ingrid was one of ten players to make first team and Latanna picked up second team honors.

🔼 New Faces. The 2024 SEC football schedule has been released and the Tigers will meet a new foe. LSU and Oklahoma have never played each other on their campuses, but in 2024 the Tigers will host the Sooners at Tiger Stadium. Alabama, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt will also be heading to Baton Rouge. The Tigers will travel to Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas A&M. The conference will no longer have divisional standings when the 2024 season rolls around.

Trophy Season. Only one other LSU Tiger has won the Dick Howser Trophy.
