Latest news and updates about the LSU
That’s a fantastic way to start. The back-to-back SEC champion LSU gymnastics team kicked off their 2026 season with a very good result. They tied atop the standings of the session of the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad with a 197.500 alongside Oklahoma, though OU got the trophy on a sixth-score tiebreaker. LSU beat UCLA […]
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 […]
The transfer portal has been working overtime the past few days, and LSU has added—at the time of this writing at least—six more players since Tuesday, and some of them have been pretty impactful additions. If we’re working in chronological order, the first addition that LSU made dating back to Tuesday was Boise State safety […]
The Syracuse Orange have picked up its second transfer portal commitment on Tuesday morning. LSU running back Ju’Juan Johnson has committed to the Orange. The Lafayette, Louisiana native confirmed his commitment on X. He’ll have two years of eligibility left. Johnson comes to Syracuse after moving around the gridiron a lot at LSU. He started […]
Monday was a very busy but fruitful day for Lane Kiffin and staff as the Tigers added a trio of skill position players out of the transfer portal. Let’s go in chronological order. First up, LSU added running back Raycine Guillory who spent this past season with the Utah Utes. Depending on what recruiting service […]
Everyone say aloha (aleauxha?) to LSU’s first portal addition: Jackson Harris. Harris, a wide receiver from Hawaii, is the first ever incoming transfer for The Portal King himself, Lane Kiffin. Jackson spent his first two collegiate seasons with Stanford before heading ever farther west to play for Hawaii in 2025. This season with the Rainbow […]
Michael Van Buren’s time with LSU has seemingly come to an end as the sophomore quarterback has announced he intends to put his name into the transfer portal. Van Buren’s career began at Mississippi State and he was thrust into action after original starting quarterback Blake Shapen was lost for the season. Van Buren ended […]
The TCU Horned Frogs will be looking for a new tight end to take over next season. It will not be former LSU tight end Ka’Morreun Pimpton, who has reportedly opted for the transfer portal after only one season with the Horned Frogs. Pimpton, a former four-star high school player who signed with LSU after […]
We don’t normally post about LSU hiring non-on the field assistant coaches, but yesterday the program got some news that likely made you go “oh!” Former LSU offensive line coach James Cregg has been hired by LSU in some type of role that has yet to be announced. It’s likely that Cregg is coming to […]
The 2025 LSU Football season has come to a close… thank God. However, the NFL Playoffs are still a week away, and as the playoff picture comes into view, our LSU alumni are still playing hard, for seeding or pride. Let’s break down the final week of 2025 here. Cowboys 30 at Commanders 23 Desperately […]
Ole Miss football officially announcing the hiring of five staff members picking off four staffers from rival LSU and one from UCLA. On Sunday, Ole Miss football X/Twitter lit up with the announcements of Frank Wilson, Austin Thomas, Kelvin Bolden, Jacob Sugarman and Jai Choudhary as official hires to Pete Golding’s program in Oxford. We […]
The hometown team finally took the stage in the hometown bowl. It had been 18 years since the Houston Cougars punched a ticket to the Texas Bowl — an era that was two conferences and several head coaching regimes ago. But for the first time under Willie Fritz and for the first time with the […]
Good morning, BBN! Bowl season really takes off today with some great matchups. Check out each one below: Some big-name schools take the field, led by a top-25 matchup between BYU and Georgia Tech. I’ll also be watching that LSU vs Houston game to close out the night. While Lane won’t be coaching on that […]
When Will Stein was initially hired as Kentucky Football’s next head coach, Justin Burke was one of the first ‘reported’ hires for the new coaching staff. Burke was said to be Kentucky’s new offensive coordinator, but that role ended up going to LSU’s Joe Sloan. Since then, there’s been virtually nothing on Burke, leaving us […]
Thursday night the SEC announced its 2026 football schedule for all 16 schools in a made for TV special over on the SEC Network that, in hindsight, probably could’ve just been an email. But I’m not a TV executive and I’ve never had to move that sweet, sweet inventory before so what do I know… […]
Now that the offseason is upon us so too is TransferPortalSZN and LSU is feeling the same effects that every program goes through this time of year. Sophomore defensive tackle Ahmad Breaux put his name into the transfer portal Monday afternoon per On3’s Hayes Fawcett. We say this every year but it bears repeating: a […]
As the LSU Football program enters a transitional period, our alumni enter the home stretch of a weird season. This has been one of the most brutal years of injuries since I’ve been doing these recaps, so the end of this season can’t come soon enough. Most of our biggest stars won’t be playing in […]
Hey remember when I wondered aloud about who would be the defensive coordinator and coach up this extraordinary haul of defensive line talent that LSU signed over the Early Signing Period? Well we have our answer: it’s Blake Baker. Baker will remain at LSU for the 2026 season after being hotly pursed by Tulane, Baker’s […]
When LSU dismissed Brian Kelly, that also meant OL coach Brad Davis was out. Davis had been the main recruiter for 4-star Bryson Cooley out of Laurel, Mississippi. Alabama tried to get a commitment from the 6-6/315 offensive tackle over the summer, but he instead went with LSU in July. With all the tumultuous turnover […]
Corey Batoon could be a domino to fall within the college coaching carousel. It’s true! Obviously nobody is pushing Batoon out the door, he’s been lights out for Eli Drinkwitz since Blake Baker left for LSU. Missouri’s defense finished 13th in SP+ this year and ended on a high note after blanking a potent Arkansas […]
The Lane Kiffin Era at LSU took its first steps Wednesday as the Early Signing window opened across the country and 11 future Tigers sent in their paperwork today. We normally like to do an Early Signing Day primer, but with how close the window overlapped with Kiffin signing, it was dizzying trying to keep […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas upset Texas A&M, Georgia edged Georgia Tech, Ole Miss retained the Egg Bowl (but not its coach) against Hail State, Oklahoma held off LSU, Alabama triumphed in the Iron Bowl, Vanderbilt throttled Tennessee, Kentucky got blanked at Louisville, South Carolina fell short against Clemson, Missouri rolled Arkansas, and Florida chomped up Florida […]
And here we are. Just like that, the leftover turkey and mashed potatoes are gone, the conference title matches are set, and the rivalry games are all in the books. Week 14 and the 2025 regular season are complete, and what a journey it’s been. LSU’s gone from 1st after beating Clemson to finishing 10th […]
God what a letdown. LSU was so close to scoring a signature win—and ending Oklahoma’s season along the way—instead the inept Tiger offense, just as it has all season long, was beyond horrendous and wasted a stellar effort by the defense. The story of today’s loss can be summed up in two plays: Harold Perkins […]
GEAUX!!! Playing Nice: Zachary Junda and Jack Shields Three Specific Predictions: Saul Garcia Win or lose, today will be a momentous day for the LSU football program. First of all, this will be LSU’s first time ever playing a game inside the state of Oklahoma. We throw the word “historic” around a lot, but this […]
