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."
But Mainieri did say the intensity got too high for left fielder Beau Jordan who was ejected in LSU's crazy fifth inning after he made an obscene hand gesture to Texas starter Chase Shugart after hitting a single up the middle.
