After finishing 53-15 last season and winning the National Championship, LSU baseball was poised to repeat a similar run this season.
That was, until, the “Lane Kiffin Kurse” reigned down upon the team:
The defending national champion LSU Tigers have now been swept in 3 straight SEC series, lost 10 of their last 12 games overall & lost star OF Jake Brown for the season with a broken right hand.

Tweeted on November 23, 2025, this LSU football fan sacrificed the baseball season for Lane Kiffin.
While it seemed like a joke at the time, LSU baseball has not fared well this season. Sitting at 24-21, they already have 6 more losses than all of last season.
They got swept this weekend by Mississippi State for the first time since 1985.

Will LSU’s baseball team ever recover from the jinx placed upon them by their own fan?
