LSU Tigers Blog of the Week for 52,136 Weeks in a Row and Counting
It’s hard to feel bad after that one. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team had a great meet Friday night, but #1 Oklahoma did just enough to win 198.125-197.925. The Tigers were in for a tough challenge anyway, and it got more challenging when Konnor McClain suffered an injury in warm-ups that caused […]

While most of us were hard at work at our 9-5, the LSU Baseball team improved to 5-0 with a good ole fashion mid-afternoon beating over Nicholls 12-1. Nicholls drew first blood with its lone run in the top half of the first, but LSU answered right back with a five-spot in the home half […]

Sunday afternoon at Alex Box ended up being a name your score kind of day for the defending national champions, as the Tigers (3-0) dominated Milwaukee (0-3) 21-7 to complete the series sweep. Despite being run-ruled, Milwaukee was the one to draw first blood as left fielder Dominic Kibler took the first pitch he saw […]

Cooper Moore wouldn’t have uprooted his life and moved nearly 800 miles away from Lawrence, Kansas to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for any other reason than to pitch at the premier college baseball program. Saturday was Moore’s first real chance to prove why and it was an impressive debut. Behind his 11 strikeouts, a new career-best, […]

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 […]

UPDATE: 2/16 Jake Olsen is in fact remaining with LSU. While it was reported that the Washington Commanders were working toward an agreement with Olsen, that deal never came to fruition and Olsen will instead remain with LSU and Blake Baker for 2026. Lane Kiffin’s on-field staff now has an opening. Friday evening multiple outlets […]

While it’s been over a month since the LSU football team last took the field, we still had four alumni playing as recently as last Sunday in Super Bowl LX. Before we recap the season as a whole, let’s break down the final game. Super Bowl LX: Seahawks 29 vs Patriots 13 Not much went […]

We are wrapping up our position preview, and we finally turn to the LSU bullpen. I’m going to try and save on the grand generalizations or predictions on the quality of the pen because you just never know until games start. For what it’s worth, Jay Johnson says it’s the deepest bullpen he’s had at […]

The story of LSU’s 2025 national championship team can be boiled down to just three words: Kade and Anthony. The 1-2 punch of Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson was the best starting tandem in the country, and maybe even the best in LSU’s storied history. The Tigers went a combined 31-6 when Anderson and Eyanson […]

Right field was by far and away the most fluid position for the LSU outfield in 2025. Jake Brown got the nod if the opposing team’s starter was a righty, but Josh Pearson would start if LSU faced a lefty. That’s not going to be the case anymore now that Pearson is out of eligibility. […]

In 2025 the worst kept secret regarding LSU Baseball lied with Derek Curiel and his future in Baton Rouge. From the moment he made it to campus the expectation was Curiel, a draft-eligible sophomore, would spend two years in the purple and gold, and his second season would be spent playing centerfield. Flash forward to […]

That was okay. The back-to-back SEC champion #3 LSU gymnastics team picked up an easy win over #14 Penn State 197.525-196.125 in the PMAC Friday. A Krewe of Athena-impacted 11,516 fans piled into the building to watch a solid performance, but LSU had moments that weren’t as good as they have been in the past. […]

Let’s acknowledge our charmed lifestyle as LSU Baseball fans. The Tigers are eight-time national champions, have won two of the past three titles, are at or near the top of every major poll every single year, boast one of the home atmospheres in the country, and are led by the best coach in the game […]

What do you want out of your third basemen? Do you want someone who swings a big stick with some iffy defense? Or do you want a golden glove with a bat that—to put it mildly—struggles? Jay Johnson’s won two national titles on either side of that spectrum. In 2023 Johnson Tanked his way to […]

After spending most of the season on the road, it’s nice to be home for a couple weeks. The back-to-back SEC champion #3 LSU gymnastics team is back home and on their bye from SEC competition this week. The Tigers return following a totally not controversial 197.675-197.500 win at Missouri. Tonight, they face the #14 […]

We are just a hair over a week away from first pitch and the defending national champion LSU Tigers were picked by the SEC’s head coaches to win the league. LSU received nine votes from the sixteen head coaches, more than double the next closest team. Mississippi State received four first-place votes, Arkansas got two, […]

I have good news and bad news for LSU as we head into the 2026 college baseball season. The bad news is they are losing just about the entire starting infield from a national championship team that—oh by the way—was statistically the best defense in LSU’s storied history. The good news is the one returner […]

LSU wasn’t just good up the middle in 2025, they were great. Historically great in fact. The tandem of Steven Milam and Daniel Dickinson seemingly turned two every chance they had, and the Tigers as a team fielded a program-best .981 last season. Jay Johnson prides himself as an offensive coach, but he values defense. […]

Jared Jones maybe isn’t the greatest first basemen in LSU Baseball history, but he had one of the better careers in program history. Bear Jones appeared in 189 games and started 181 times the past three seasons. Over that span he earned Freshman All-American honors and helped LSU win the 2023 national championship; two years […]

Now that was impressive. The #6 Tigers of LSU (21-2, 7-2) picked up its seventh straight conference win and beat the absolute hell out of #24 Alabama (19-4, 5-3) along the way by a cool 40 points. For the 12th time this season, LSU cracked the century mark. That’s a new SEC record and the […]

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 […]

800 miles were worth it in the end. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team exorcised some demons Friday with a 197.675-197.500 win at #7 Missouri, their first win over Mizzou in Columbia since 2020. LSU put up a very respectable road score, and it was even better considering that head coach Jay Clark […]
