Paul Mainieri: 'It felt like a Super Regional' in LSU's win over Texas
The last time LSU and Texas played a series the national championship was on the line. The Tigers came away with the 2009 title after defeating the Longhorns two games to one.
There wasn't a championship on the line on Saturday night in LSU's 10-5 victory over Texas but it still reminded LSU coach Paul Mainieri of postseason play.
"It was a wonderful win," Mainieri said. "We were just remarking, it felt like a Super Regional atmosphere here tonight with the electricity in the stadium and the dugout, the intensity that the players were playing with."
