LSU closes Alex Box with win, sweep
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.

Let me be the first to say on this thread, double G-man that is two very well written articles on Coach Polk. I learned something about him that I never new!

What did you learn, Nash?

One, that Polk has a close friend outside of baseball. Two, he likes to fish. I just could never have pictured Coach Polk out on a lake or river, fishing.
He is human. I have met him a few times over the years. It was always baseball.

Maybe Polk is up for coaching the bass fishing team. I couldn’t believe we actually had a fishing team much less ranked #3 in the nation. No joke.
Good write up Gregg.
