Blake Baker Staying at LSU!!!!

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 […]

Lamar Brown, Deuce Geralds, Trenton Henderson All Sign With LSU

The Early Signing Period has drawn to a close, and all things considering Lane Kiffin’s first cycle at LSU has been a roaring success. When we last left you Wednesday, the Tigers had 11 players officially send in their paperwork (technically 10 as Richard Anderson’s didn’t officially make it till Thursday) but we were waiting […]

LSU Rallies Back to Beat Boston College in OT

Hey sorry for the men’s shootyhoops post but uhh LSU might have something this year? At the very least they might be watchable. If you haven’t been watching, Matt McMahon’s squad is now 8-0 this season and, more importantly, #16 in the NET and #23 per KenPom. That’s huge! We’re still about a month away […]

LSU Signs 11 on Day 1 of the Early Signing Period

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 […]

Handbrake Off

There is a Top Gear bit that lives rent free in my mind at all times: notoriously anti-American and sardonic sorcerer supreme Jeremy Clarkson gushing over the Dodge Viper. A quick synopsis: the Dodger Viper SRT-10 is a car designed to kill you. The geniuses at Dodge put the biggest fuckoff engine they could in […]

Lane Kiffin Accepts LSU Job

At last we have reached closure: Lane Kiffin is the new head coach of LSU. The confirmation comes from Kiffin himself, who took to social media to confirm the news. LSU football’s official account announced the news not long after. Two planes are already en route to Oxford to pick up Kiffin and others. He […]

Instant Reactions: Oklahoma 17, LSU 13

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 […]

Gamethread: LSU vs. #8 Oklahoma, 2:30 P.M., ABC

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 […]

Playing Nice: LSU vs. Oklahoma

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, […]

Mansoor Delane Named Finalist for Thorpe Award

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 […]

Instant Reactions: LSU 13, Western Kentucky 10

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 […]

Gamethread: LSU vs. Western Kentucky, 6:45 P.M., SEC Network

GEAUX!!! To put it mildly, LSU’s 2025 season isn’t playing out the way anyone expected coming into the year. Brian Kelly won’t be there to welcome the seniors as part of the Senior Day festivities; Garrett Nussmeier has been ruled out for the game, so he won’t even get to take a ceremonial kneel down […]

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, […]
