You don't catch CST in Prarieville, or does your provider not provide it?
I just wish they at least could give some live stats.
Never mind...just went and got the link.

I did not see such an inference. Why would LSU provide their feed to us for free when they charge their own fans?
If you really want to watch, you can pay $9.95 and take out a monthly subscription and then cancel. This is what I did when we played at Nebraska in 2003.

BATON ROUGE – As the last non-conference opponent to ever take the field at Alex Box Stadium, Louisiana's bid to snap LSU's six-game unbeaten streak was spoiled as the Fighting Tigers scored five runs in the fifth for a 5-3 win Tuesday night.
Louisiana (22-23) dropped its fourth straight non-conference road contest and has now lost three straight in the series to LSU (29-16-1).
One bad inning marred what began as a brilliant start for senior southpaw Brent Solich (Lakewood Ranch, Fla.), who showed shades of his All-Sun Belt Conference Tournament Team form a season ago. Solich (1-4) lasted 5 1/3 innings, while allowing just two earned runs – five total – on five hits with three strikeouts. Fellow senior Buddy Glass (Clermont, Fla.) gave up just one run in 2 2/3 innings of relief.
Scott Hawkins (Collierville, Tenn.) broke out of a 2-for-22 slump to finish 3-for-4. Matt Hicks (Houston, Texas) and William Long (Valrico, Fla.) each went 2-for-4.
LSU starter Austin Ross was touched for three runs on six hits through four innings. Ross did not walk a batter, while striking out four Cajuns. Daniel Bradshaw (3-5) shut down the Cajuns down the stretch scattering three hits on six strikeouts in four innings. Louis Coleman came on in the ninth to earn his first save of the season.
Matt Clark was the lone Tiger with multiple hits as he finished 2-for-4 with a run scored. D.J. LeMahieu drove in two of the Tigers' five runs in the fifth inning.
Louisiana was successful in its first crack on the scoreboard as the Ragin' Cajuns took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. Hawkins, who had been 0-for his previous nine at bats on the road, crushed a two-out double into the gap in right-center before coming around to score.
Hawkins scored on the ensuing at bat on Harst's RBI single back up the middle for a 1-0 Cajuns lead.
After the Tigers were retired in order in the first, Louisiana continued to hit Ross fairly well in the second. Dillon Guillory (Scott, La.) lifted a lead-off single to shallow center field and later advanced to third on Hicks' single down the left field line. Long then plated Guillory with a first-pitch RBI single through the right side for a 2-0 Cajuns lead.
Jordan Poirrier (Reserve, La.) put runners at second and third with one out thanks to perfectly executed sacrifice bunt. However, Ross retired the next two Cajuns batters with Hawkins on deck to hold UL to only one run in the inning.
Louisiana added yet another run in the third to take a 3-0 lead. Ross plunked both Hawkins and Harst to open the third inning before facing Nolan Gisclair (Marrero, La.). Gisclair then moved both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Guillory followed with a RBI groundout that scored Hawkins for the three-run lead.
Solich's mastery of LSU's hitter persisted in the fourth. Despite allowing lead-off walk to Michael Hollander – the first LSU base runner of the night, Solich kept the Tigers off the scoreboard to retire the next three to end the inning.
Solich held onto his no-hit bid as he entered the fifth inning. However, it ended on the first pitch with Micah Gibbs' single up the middle. On the ensuing pitch, Matt Clark drilled a double down the right field line moved Gibbs to third. D.J. LeMahieu followed with a two-RBI double to left field, cutting the lead to 3-2.
Back-to-back errors by Hicks allowed the Tigers to take a 4-3 lead. Derek Helenihi capped the five-run fifth inning with an infield RBI single for the 5-3 advantage.
The Cajuns had an opportunity to tie or take the lead in the eighth. With two on and two out, Poirrier launched a towering fly ball to center field, but Leon Landry caught it on the edge of the warning track to end the inning.
Louisiana continues its four-game non-conference road swing this weekend when the Ragin' Cajuns visit the seventh-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb. Friday's series opener will begin at 6:35 p.m., while game one of Saturday's doubleheader is set for 12:05 p.m. The series finale will take place Saturday evening at 6:35 p.m.

BATON ROUGE - The revival of the UL-LSU baseball rivalry lived up to the hype.
After falling behind early, the Tigers rallied with a five-run fifth inning for a 5-3 win over the Ragin' Cajuns on Tuesday night in the first meeting between the teams in six years.
"We don't score runs, and when you don't do that you've got to pitch perfect and play perfect," UL coach Tony Robichaux said. "We had one inning where we didn't play perfect, and that did us in."
The teams had not played since ejections, suspensions and controversy clouded a pair of LSU wins in the 2002 NCAA Regional in Baton Rouge.

BATON ROUGE - For the first time in six years, UL and LSU faced off in a collegiate baseball game on Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium.
With a 5-3 win, the Tigers extended their lead in the all-time series to 44-21 according to UL's archives. LSU has won the last three head-to-head matchups.
The teams agreed to put the series on hold after a series of ejections and suspensions when they last played each other twice in the 2002 NCAA Regional Tournament in Baton Rouge.

We don't have the bargaining chip to bring the Tigers to Lafayette until we beat them a couple of times in BR. Two wins over them next year would go a long way towards that goal. Until we can beat them they have no reason to come here.
Totally disagree.
1. This isn't football, or even basketball. this is baseball. A sport (now) where teams have to play multiple mid-week games, several times during the season. A local opponent is a local opponent...and a 1 hour drive is a lot better than a 3 or 4 hour drive.
2. The last year of the series, saw UL beat LSU once at home, and twice in BR, before LSU won the last two games of that regional. so, UL has beaten LSU, at their place. LSU plays lots of home/home series with other schools in the area. The reason why they refuse to do it with UL is beyond me.
