Latest news and updates about the LSU
Of all the midweek games that have ever midweek-ed, this was the most midweek-y. The defending national champion Tigers (8-1) have finally tasted their own blood, losing a mistake-ridden game to those scrappy McNeese Cowboys (3-5) 7-6 last night at Alex Box in a game that ended way past my bedtime. It’s the first loss […]

I love it when a plan comes together. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team soared to new heights Friday with a massive 198.325-196.825 win over #17 Auburn. A juiced-up crowd of 11,171 brought a ton of energy to cheer LSU on to the fifth-highest score in program history. Unfortunately, this meet could’ve been […]

Some wins are about rankings. Some are about records. And then there are the ones that arrive exactly when a team needs them most. In the fall of 1984, Notre Dame found itself at a crossroads. Three straight home losses. A losing record. Confidence shaken. Questions everywhere. And next on the schedule? A trip to […]

Collin Chandler has been on an absolute heater lately. The LSU pass, the Tennessee steal, the turnaround jumper at Arkansas, a late three against Ole Miss, and finally the huge three that sent Rupp into a frenzy against Tennessee on Saturday. But he has been doing this for a lot longer than just the last […]

Hello, everyone. I hope your week has gotten off to a good start. No nonsense to open up this week’s piece, so let’s get to it….. 1) I’ll admit it. I was sad when Sam Leavitt picked LSU. I was bummed when Ty Simpson decided to go on to the NFL. But boy, am I […]

Aside from all of the playoff football at both the professional and college level, January is, to me, the single worst month of the year. Why? Because it’s the last hurdle before the baseball season begins. Well friends, we have officially cleared that hurdle. We’re onto February and that means First Pitch is officially less […]

Lane Kiffin was promising fireworks once the transfer portal opened up and by God has he delivered on that. You might have thought LSU was done after adding Sam Leavitt, the No. 1 overall player out of the portal. They weren’t.

We have talked about the biggest issue facing Kentucky Basketball right now: the slow starts. It happens nearly every game. The Wildcats find themselves down 10 points or more way too often. In the last two games alone, they fell behind by 18 to LSU and 17 to Tennessee. While they were able to pull […]

The Divisional Round of the year’s NFL Playoffs gave us two all-time classics and… two other games. However, all four games featured LSU Tigers in action. Spoiler alert: the only teams remaining without an LSU Tiger on their rosters were eliminated, so this should be fun! Bills 30 at Broncos 33 (OT) Tre’Davious White had […]

Some games are remembered for the score. Others are remembered for what they begin. When Notre Dame opened the 1981 season, the anticipation wasn’t just about returning starters, preseason rankings, or national title dreams still lingering from 1980. It was about a new face on the sideline, a new voice in the locker room, and […]
