Bayou Brew 4/24: Sweep Victory

Good morning. Would you believe us if we told you that Coach Mulkey was running a daycare in the team meeting room before the semifinal game? Well it’s true, and you can see it for yourself!

What's steeping in today's Brew?

🏈 Football is back
🥎 More than a game
🐯 And much, much more!

Uncut. Missing the championship season? Now you can go behind the scenes of the women’s basketball Final Four in this episode of Uncut. This episode features travel, practices, celebrations, and much more!

🔼 Toss The Pigskin. Football is back! That’s right, the Tigers are finally back in Death Valley tomorrow. The National L Club Spring Game will be taking place at 1:00pm. The event is free, general admission, and fans will receive a free poster and roster card when entering. You won’t want to miss this offense vs. defense scrimmage!

🔼 On The Road, Again. Baseball hits the road for a weekend series at Ole Miss tonight at 6:30. This match up has been heating up since Paul Skenes said he doesn’t expect the Ole Miss students to be celebrating many home runs. The defending national champs haven’t had the season they expected as they sit 3-12 in conference play. The Tigers have not dropped a conference series yet.

👀 Watch Out. Jordan Thompson has just been named to the 2023 Brooks Wallace Award watch list! The award is given to the nation’s top shortstop.

🔼 Host With The Most. LSU is hosting the LSU Alumni Gold track and field meet at Bernie Moore Track Stadium tomorrow with field events starting at 10:30am and running events at 2:30. The women’s team is ranked No. 5 and the men are No. 9 in the USTFCCCA poll. Favour Ofili, Michaela Rose, and Sean Burrell have been receiving votes for the Bowerman Mid-Outdoor Watch List.

🔼 More Than A Game. This weekend, all of the SEC softball community will take part in the “All for Alex” campaign, which honors Mississippi State’s Alex Wilcox who was a member of the 2018 Bulldog softball team. The campaign recognizes her impact on the softball world and the fight against ovarian cancer. The Geaux Teal walk will take place tomorrow at Tiger Park. The Tigers play the Bulldogs throughout the weekend, starting tonight at 6:00pm.
