Northeastern Embarrasses LSU

Man…whatever. LSU (11-2) dropped the final game of its four-game weekend last night at Alex Box Stadium, battling back but coming up short against Northeastern (3-6) 13-10. Don’t let the final score fool you, this was about as embarrassing as it got for LSU. The Huskies were leading 10-0 after the third inning and was […]

LSU Wins Podium Challenge with 198, Chio Perfect Again

That’s a good way to end a weekend. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team nailed their meet and dominated the fourth annual Purple & Gold Podium Challenge. The Tigers put up a 198.200 to win the meet. #3 Alabama followed with a 197.650, an improvement on Friday night’s meet. #17 UNC put up […]

Tigers Shutout Dartmouth Behind William Schmidt’s Gem

William Schmidt turned down millions of dollars from Major League Baseball heading into the 2024 draft, but if he keeps pitching like he has of late, he’ll almost certainly recoup that money when he does decide to go pro. Thanks to a career-best 7.1 shutout innings, Schmidt pitched LSU (11-1) to a tight 3-0 win […]

LSU Faces Alabama, UNC and Arizona in Podium Challenge

It’s time to take to the podium. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team is back in action today on short rest. The Tigers knocked off #3 Alabama 197.975-197.600 Friday night.

Thanks to 7.2 excellent from junior righty Cooper Moore, LSU (10-1) was able to hold off Northeastern (1-6) 3-1 Saturday afternoon at Alex Box Stadium to take the second game of this four-game stretch. “Cooper is a star,” Jay Johnson said after the game. “There’s always that one guy you bring to your team you […]

Tigers Down Tide in Late Night Tussle

That’s how you finish a 7-0 day in Baton Rouge. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team roared to another win with a 197.975-197.600 win over #3 Alabama. A crowd of 13,292, the eighth-largest crowd in program history, saw a spirited late-night fight between two fantastic teams. This was also alumni night, and there […]

LSU Hosts Alabama in Late Top 3 Showdown

This meet puts the night into Friday Night Heights. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team is back home for the biggest meet of the home slate.

McNeese Hands LSU First Loss of 2026

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 […]

LSU Gym Drops Meet at Oklahoma, Earns Road High

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 […]

LSU Faces Oklahoma in Top 2 Showdown

This is the big one. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team is back in action for the biggest meet of the 2026 regular season. The Tigers are coming off a massive 198.325-196.825 win over Auburn. Now they have to hit the road to face by far the best team in the land: the […]

Tigers Improve to 5-0 with Run-Rule Win over Nicholls

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 […]

Tigers Run-Rule Milwaukee to Complete Opening Weekend Sweep

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 Dazzles in LSU Debut as Tigers Hold Off Milwaukee 5-3

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, […]

LSU Dominates Auburn, Scores Season High

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: Jake Olsen Remaining with LSU

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 […]

Tigers Run Rule Milwaukee to Open 2026 Season

Boy it’s good to be back isn’t it? The defending national champion Tigers kicked off its title defense with an emphatic 15-5 win in eight innings over Milwaukee Friday afternoon at Alex Box Stadium, and LSU has now won 25 straight season openers. As a team LSU collected nine extra base hits—six doubles and homers […]

Tonight, they face #17 Auburn, a team looking to figure themselves out. The meet begins at 8:00 p.m., and doors open at 6:30. The first […]

2025 NFLSU Season in Review

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 […]

LSU Baseball 2026 Position Preview: Relief Pitching

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 […]

LSU Baseball 2026 Position Preview: Starting Pitching

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 […]

2026 LSU Baseball Position Preview: Right Field

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. […]

2026 LSU Baseball Position Preview: Center Field

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 […]

LSU Rolls Past Penn State with Average Score

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. […]

2026 LSU Baseball Position Preview: Left Field

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 […]

2026 LSU Baseball Position Preview: Third Base

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 […]
