Senate Resolution Formally Congratulates LSU Baseball on 2025 College World Series Victory

The Official Congressional High-Five: What This Resolution Does

Sometimes, legislation is less about changing laws and more about giving a formal, official nod to a job well done. This Senate resolution is exactly that: a legislative high-five for the Louisiana State University (LSU) Fighting Tigers baseball team for winning the 2025 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I College World Series. It’s a ceremonial measure that essentially puts the Senate’s stamp of approval on LSU’s achievement.

Specifically, this resolution officially recognizes that LSU defeated Coastal Carolina University 5-3 on June 22, 2025, to claim the title. It highlights their undefeated run in Omaha and notes that this is the program’s eighth national baseball championship. Think of it as a historical record keeper—it ensures this specific moment and achievement are formally acknowledged in the legislative record, which is pretty cool for the team and the state.

Who Gets the Shout-Out (And the Paperwork)

This isn't just a blanket congratulations; the resolution gets into the specifics of the team’s success. It calls out Head Coach Jay Johnson for becoming the fastest coach in NCAA history to secure two national titles at one school, which is a serious feat of management and strategy. It also singles out key players, like Kade Anderson, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the College World Series, and notes the All-SEC and All-American honors received by Anderson and Zac Cowan.

For most people, the real-world impact is zero—you won't be paying more taxes or waiting longer in line at the DMV because of this. Its impact is purely in the realm of morale and recognition. The resolution dictates that official, enrolled copies must be sent to key figures: Coach Johnson, the President of LSU, and the athletic director, Scott Woodward. So, if you work in the LSU athletic department, you might be handling some fancy legislative paperwork soon. For the rest of us, it’s a nice acknowledgment of a major sports victory for the state.
