LSU closes Alex Box with win, sweep

May 11, 2008

Mississippi State had a tough weekend in Baton Rouge, getting swept by a combined score of 40-16.

Sunday’s series finale, also the last game at Alex Box Stadium, resulted in a 9-6 LSU win.

MSU, which fell to 20-32, hosts Memphis on Tuesday before closing out the year against Arkansas, starting Thursday.

In today’s paper, I had two stories on Ron Polk. The first took an in-depth look at his lasting legacy, while the second talked about, what now for 64-year-old retiring coach.

I figured most media outlets would do their big stories later in the week, so I made the pitch to run it today and beat the rush.
