| First, the Super Bowl. Next, the "Super Meet." LSU gymnastics' gritty 197.300-197.075 victory Friday at Alabama set up what is likely to be the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 meet for the Tigers since 2021. No. 1 Oklahoma visits the PMAC to take on No. 2 LSU at 8 p.m. this coming Friday. If you can't snag what are probably a dwindling number of tickets, the meet will be on ESPN2. The meet will follow LSU baseball's season opener at 2 p.m. Friday against Purdue Fort Wayne. Speaking of baseball, LSU coach Jay Johnson spoke Friday of his plans for potential two-way player Jake Brown. For better or worse, the LSU men's basketball team is back in action Saturday, hosting Ole Miss at 7:30 p.m. Attend or watch if you dare. The softball Tigers have already had their opener, beating Charlotte on Friday night 8-0 on a no-hitter by freshman Jayden Heavener in, obviously, her very first college game. Our Michael Johnson has a photo gallery. Finally, the LSU women's basketball team is back home Sunday for a big game of its own against Tennessee. The Tigers are 24-1 after winning 71-60 Thursday at Missouri, getting a big offensive lift off the bench from reserve guard Mjracle Sheppard, while Tennessee is coming off a 80-76 home win over UConn. A win could propel No. 6 LSU back into the top five, but first the Tigers have to complete the season sweep of the Lady Volunteers. Thanks, as ever, for reading and subscribing.
