Latest news and updates about the LSU
I’m still not used to ending the regular season against Oklahoma, but I don’t think that will be the case anymore after today. Even though this end of year forced marriage is fizzling away, the Oklahoma game is still a great opportunity to check in with our friend Jack Shields from our OU sister site, […]
Penn State. Florida. LSU. Auburn. All fine programs with plenty of history and, most importantly in this day and age, money. Any one of these would’ve made a fine next stop in the career path of Eli Drinkwitz. And maybe one day one of them will. For the time being, though Mizzou and Eli Drinkwitz […]
In what’s been an otherwise failure of a football season, LSU does have a bright spot this year. On Tuesday, transfer cornerback Mansoor Delane was named one of three finalists for the Thorpe Award, which is given annually to the nation’s most outstanding defensive back. Delane is a finalist alongside Ohio State safety Caleb Downs […]
In honor of tonight’s performance, I’m going to recap this game in as many sentences as points scored by LSU tonight. (1) LSU may have technically won tonight, but no one currently associated with this team’s offense should take any pride in the victory (2). Tonight was the nadir for this LSU offense, as the […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas A&M won a miracle comeback against South Carolina, Oklahoma conquered the gates of Bryant-Denny Stadium, Georgia beat Texas, Ole Miss outlasted Florida, Tennessee rocked New Mexico State, LSU lucked out against Arkansas, Kentucky throttled Tennessee Tech, and Missouri blew out Mississippi State in a full week 12 that had everyone but Vanderbilt […]
LSU got back in the win column Saturday, which made up for a lackluster showing from our pro stars. Nevertheless, we will break down every game here. Jets 14 at Patriots 27 Kayshon Boutte was out again, but Mason Taylor caught four passes for 30 yards. K’Lavon Chaisson had one tackle and one pass breakup. […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas A&M beat Mizzou, Alabama won at LSU, Georgia rolled past Mississippi State, Ole Miss won a gimme-game in an FCS non-con cupcake party with The Citadel, Vanderbilt survived a major scare from Auburn in overtime, and Kentucky chomped Florida for their second SEC win in a row after losing five in a […]
A NOTE BEFORE WE BEGIN: Zach informed us he would be unavailable Saturday night and I said I could handle the postgame recap. I completely dropped the ball and forgot to do it! So here, two nights later, is a recap. You wanted the recap written in a timely fashion? Well maybe you’re just spoiled. […]
Happy Monday, everyone. Go back fifteen years or so and it would be tough to imagine Alabama fans being frustrated after beating LSU by 11 points. It’s a different era though, and this is where we are. Issues with the running game and deep ball continue to dominate the conversation. “We’ve got to do a […]
Maybe not as bad as it looked At this point in the season, you just have to take the wins wherever you find them. With this victory, we really increase the likelihood that Alabama finishes a good season well and gets to play for the next step, including potentially an SEC championship game and, hopefully, […]
The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide, fresh off their much-needed bye, enter the Amen corner of the schedule, with games against LSU, Auburn, and Oklahoma in the stretch run. And, in many ways, it will be the most challenging, as all three are defensive-minded, with the Barn and Sooners being fully elite on that side […]
For what I believe is our 8th straight year, Zach Junda from And The Valley Shook joins us once again to give his honest and often “negatiger” opinions about the LSU football team. And boy, with the Tigers firing Brian Kelly just a week ago and the whole program in turmoil, we had some great […]
Happy Friday, everyone. It’s LSU week, but this year doesn’t have quite the same buzz as usual after the firing of Brian Kelly. Your previews: Alabama might be fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings, but to keep hammering this home – Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri. Obviously, the FSU game was a loss, […]
Two years ago, LSU sported one of the worst defenses that I’ve seen in my lifetime, and the Tigers axed their defensive coordinator and brought in Blake Baker from Missouri, who helped stabilize things a bit. They improved to a middle-of-the-road average as a unit that had some decent pass defense chops while struggling against […]
After a dominant second half saw Texas A&M power to a 49-25 win over LSU, the Aggies sit at 8-0 on the season and ranked No. 3 in the country in the initial College Football Playoff rankings. Now, Texas A&M returns from the idle week with just four contests remaining in the regular season. The […]
With the bye week over, Alabama is headed right into LSU week, and we have our regular programming with the coaching staff press conferences back. Ryan Grubb On issues with the running game: “It’s all. It’s not one thing. Whatever it is, whether it’s pass protection, run blocking, all those things work together. For us, […]
Happy Monday, everyone. The most important news of the day: It’s officially basketball season! Nate Oats and company will tip off the season tonight against North Dakota. When is Alabama basketball vs North Dakota? Date: Monday, Nov. 3 Start time: 7 p.m. CT Alabama and North Dakota will tip off at 7 p.m. CT on Monday, marking […]
There were not a ton of surprises in Week 9 of the college football season. Unbeaten teams Indiana, Georgia Tech, and BYU beat their opponents handily. Another unbeaten, Texas A&M, pulled away in the second half of their game against LSU, resulting in the firing of their head coach, Brian Kelly. In a battle of […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. Kalen DeBoer has been panned to a degree for his “coach-speak” in public interviews. He got pretty candid this week though, offering some insight into how he has motivated this group. “I don’t think until it’s all said and done, I’m not gonna let our guys think that we’re back,” DeBoer said. […]
There are currently twelve (12!) FBS College Football programs without a permanent head coach before November. Big buyout numbers getting tossed around like actual dollars always makes me think about how I’m not coaching LSU for free like a chump. With seats heating up every day, there may be more firings before anyone finds “their […]
If NC State is going to make a coaching change this year, it will do so in what might be the most hectic carousel cycle to date. Already there are eight power-conference vacancies, including several jobs that are clearly better than NC State’s: LSU, Florida, Penn State, Virginia Tech, UCLA, Stanford, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State. […]
Who is on your, as the great Taylor Swift wrote, Wi$h Li$t to be the next head coach at LSU? Dee It’s Kiffin’s to turn down as far as I’m concerned. I’ve always gotten the vibe that he genuinely wants to be at LSU one day. He’s done a good job at Ole Miss (it […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas A&M rolled past LSU in what turned out to be Brian Kelly’s last game in Baton Rouge, Alabama survived a scare from South Carolina on the road, Ole Miss bested Oklahoma in Norman in a battle of 6-1 records, Vandy did the same hosting 6-1 Mizzou, Texas survived Mississippi State in their […]
Sunday night, the LSU head coaching job became open, in a coaching carousel where Florida and Penn State are already open, Auburn and Florida State seem to be trending that way, and Steve Sarkisian might go to the NFL… and that’s before you get into the jobs that might open because their coach leaves, like, […]
We’re onto week three. Like last week, use this post as a hub for coaching related news and discussion in the comments below. LSU Joins The Chaos There’s another major opening in the college game and this one is a big background, as LSU made the move to fire Brian Kelly following a blowout loss […]
