Postgame Thoughts: LSU 23, Arkansas 22
Of all the LSU football games I’ve seen in my life, that was certainly one of them but the Tigers (6-4, 3-4) won its first game in five weeks, clinched bowl eligibility, and held off Arkansas by the slimmest of margins Saturday morning in Tiger Stadium. Frank Wilson got his first win as interim head […]
Playing Dirty: Arkansas
LSU is about to play Arkansas in a wretched dayball game. If you have wondered why you’ve seen less Playing Dirty this year, I must apologize. It’s hard to do them when LSU is coming off a loss, and unfortunately we’ve had quite a few of them in a row. However, our opponent this week […]
Gamethread: LSU vs. Arkansas, 11:45 A.M., SEC Network
GEAUX!!! Hmm…yes. Which is to say….well I dunno, I got nothing. Per their obligation, LSU will play Arkansas in a football game. I can guarantee that will happen today. As for what will actually happen between the white lines? Your guess is as good as mine. Michael Van Buren will get the start at quarterback, […]

Three Very Specific Predictions for LSU vs. Arkansas
The LSU Tigers face a tough Arkansas side in an SEC match up on Saturday. Can LSU get a win after a pretty terrible outing last time? From third down efficacy, player props, team defense/offense numbers, team totals and more, we will have a little bit of everything as we roll on this season. What […]
Paul Skenes Wins 2025 NL Cy Young
Go back in time and tell your 2023 self that LSU’s Friday night ace would not only be the best pitcher in the country, but he might be the best pitcher on the entire planet. Paul Skenes won his first ever NL Cy Young Award, and did so in unanimous fashion. Skenes earned all 30 […]
NFLSU Week 10 Recap
Much like the 2025 LSU Tigers, this past weekend featured some great defense and very little offense by the LSU alumni. Let’s break down every game. Raiders 7 at Broncos 10 Biggest surprise of the week: Devin White did not lead the Raiders in tackles. His seven were second-most on the team. Jamal Adams had […]
Brian Kelly Suing LSU Over “For Cause” Termination
If you thought that the “Firing Brian Kelly” saga would go away quickly and/or quietly, I’m sorry to say that it won’t be the case. Kelly’s attorney’s filed a suit stating that LSU has not “formally terminated” him and that the university is now trying to fire Kelly “for cause” in order to avoid paying […]
Alabama Defeats LSU 20-9
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. […]
Gamethread: LSU vs. #4 Alabama, 6:30 P.M., ABC
GEAUX!!! Playing Nice: Zachary Junda and Brent Taylor Three Specific Predictions: Saul Garcia I can’t remember the last LSU-Alabama game with absolutely no juice behind it. Maybe it’s because LSU’s season has been a colossal failure and their season ended before Halloween; maybe it’s because said failure caused sweeping changes at the top of the […]

Three Very Specific Predictions for LSU vs. Alabama
The LSU Tigers face a really difficult task as they visit #4 Alabama in an SEC showdown.What kind of game are we in for? A classic Tide vs. Tigers or a red team domination? Can LSU sneak the upset with the interim coach? From third down efficacy, player props, team defense/offense numbers, team totals and […]
Playing Nice: Alabama
For better or worse, there are still games to be played this football season and the Frank Wilson-led Tigers of LSU are off to Tuscaloosa to take on the #4 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. While I don’t much care for Alabama, I do very much enjoy talking to my very good friend Brent Taylor from […]
Update: Verge Ausberry Might Not Actually Be LSU’s New AD Anymore?
Last night news broke that Verge Ausberry would be named the next athletics director at LSU. Ross Dellenger had it. Pete Thamel had it. The Advocate had it. Basically anyone who breaks news in college sports all reported the same thing: Verge Ausberry is the new athletic director for Louisiana State University. Not even 12 […]

LSU Dominates Houston Christian 108-55
The No. 5 ranked LSU women’s basketball team got the 2025-26 campaign off on the right foot as the Tigers (1-0) dominated Houston Christian 108-55 Tuesday night in the PMAC. Tuesday’s season opener was pretty much exactly what you would expect from a Final Four hopeful going up against a clearly outmatched Southland Conference opponent. […]
NFLSU Week 9 Recap
While the current LSU Tigers did not have the opportunity to break our hearts, the NFL sure did!

ATVS: Wi$h Li$t
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 […]
