NFLSU Week 13 Recap

LSU fans have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Most of those revolve around a new head coach and the end of the worst offense in school history, but the holiday weekend also featured the triumphant return of the NFL’s most decorated alumnus. We will break that down along with every other game. […]

Lane Kiffin Introduced as LSU’s Head Coach

The Lane Train officially pulled into station today. Lane Kiffin was officially introduced as the head coach of the LSU Football program Monday afternoon at the South Stadium Club at Tiger Stadium. After opening remarks from new LSU president Wade Rousse and new Athletics Director Verge Ausberry, Kiffin spoke for about 40 minutes. Kiffin started […]

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, […]

Week 14 Openthread

Welcome to the final regular season Saturday of the college football season. It is of course rivalry Saturday and playoff impli—ah who am I kidding, we all know why we’re here. Lane Kiffin is expected to make some type of announcement regarding his future at some point today. The ins and outs of the Kiffin […]

Three Very Specific Predictions for LSU vs. Oklahoma

The LSU Tigers face a tough Oklahoma side in the final game of the season on Saturday. Can LSU get a win and close out the season with a W? 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 […]

NFLSU Week 12 Recap

This past weekend saw very little fireworks from LSU Tigers at both the collegiate and pro level. Nevertheless, hope is on the horizon. Let’s break down the quiet week that was. Bills 19 at Texans 23 Josh Allen was sacked a whopping eight times, and Danielle Hunter was in on two of them as part […]

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 […]

NFLSU Week 11 Recap

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. […]

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, […]

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 […]
