LSU’s Jake Brown Lightens the Mood Ahead of College World Series Finals
LSU baseball player Jake Brown shared a humorous moment during a press conference before the College World Series Finals on Friday, drawing laughter from fans and head coach Jay Johnson. When discussing the team’s preparation, Brown jokingly remarked that LSU players "are not really scholars," suggesting that the straightforward instructions given by Coach Johnson help them focus on their primary goal: playing baseball.
“We came here to play baseball. We’re not really scholars,” Brown quipped. His playful comment emphasized the clarity of their game strategy, which he described as designed to help each player perform at their best.
While his comment was made in jest, Brown later clarified his statement in an interview with WAFB-TV, revealing that he and his teammates are academically accomplished. “Our academic advisor texted me and said, ‘Hey, ya’ll are better than that.’ I said, ‘You know what, you’re right.’” Brown admitted that despite his lighthearted quip, he maintains a strong academic record, currently projecting a GPA around 3.6 or 3.7 after having a perfect 4.0 last year.
With the distraction of academics aside, Brown and the Tigers are poised to focus on their upcoming challenge: a best-of-three series against Coastal Carolina in the College World Series Finals, starting Saturday night at 7 p.m. ET. Fans eager to catch the action can use FuboTV’s free trial for live coverage on ESPN.
As LSU prepares for the finals, one thing is clear: behind the humor lies a team ready to compete at the highest level.
