Pregame
- Looks like LSU will be wearing teal jerseys tonight. Alabama will be wearing its all white uniform.
- Alabama is warming up in the concourses instead of the outfield because of the wet conditions.
- As of 4:30 p.m. CT, there is no tarp on the field at Rhoads Stadium and the grounds crew is hard at work getting the field ready. It is not currently raining, but there is more rain in the forecast for tonight. It looks like they are planning for an on-time first pitch as of now.
- The DJ has a sense of humor because every song that's been played since I got into the stadium has had something to do with rain.
- When I arrived to the stadium about two hours prior to first pitch, there were already fans lined up outside the Brickyard to get into the stadium.
