LSU football set to open 2026 with three straight night games
Following the announcement of LSU’s week two contest versus Louisiana Tech being scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. CST kickoff, the Tigers’ first year under the helm of head coach Lane Kiffin will begin with three straight night games. Although we are still about 100 days from the team’s season opener, it will soon once again […]
A new era for LSU and for And The Valley Shook
Hello Tiger fans! It’s a new era for LSU and here at And The Valley Shook, so before we get too involved with covering all of the amazing things happening in Baton Rouge, I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and your mostly new ATVS writing staff. My name is Tina Howell, […]
LSU Gymnastics inks three transfers
Let’s get back into things. The national runner-up LSU gymnastics team appears to have locked in their transfer portal class for the 2027 season. The Tigers got commitments from three senior gymnasts at various points, including one during the season itself, who each bring an interesting dynamic to the upcoming season. Two of them are […]
LSU to host 5-star DL Jalen Brewster
Five-star defensive lineman Jalen Brewster is headed to Baton Rouge for an official visit with Lane Kiffin this weekend. While one of the top defensive players in the country had already committed to Texas Tech back on October 4, 2025, that hasn’t stopped other programs from attempting to flip Brewster. Florida, Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas […]
And the Valley Says Goodbye
And the Valley Shook has been such a massive part of my life since I first stumbled upon this website. To me, it was the best place to get any and all LSU content on the Internet. Whether it was Billy’s Xs and Os breakdowns, or Zach Rau’s Life as an LSU Bandsmen posts, if […]
Auburn Ends LSU’s Season in Second Round of SEC Tournament
Unfortunately for LSU the 2026 baseball season has officially come to a close before Memorial Day as the Tigers (30-28) fell to Auburn (37-18) 3-1 in round two of the SEC Tournament. “Our players gave everything they had in this tournament,” Jay Johnson said. “I thought our players fought and gave great effort throughout the […]
Ed Orgeron Returning to LSU
There was a great disturbance in The Force last night and it sounded like a guttural “geaux tigahs.” Ed Orgeron is returning to LSU football. He is joining Lane Kiffin’s staff in a “special assistant to recruiting and defense” role. Orgeron has worked under Kiffin at both Tennessee and USC, and Kiffin mentioned Coach O […]
LSU Eliminates Oklahoma in SEC Tournament Opener
LSU’s final stand began last night in Hoover and the Tigers (30-27) extended its season by another day and knocked out Oklahoma (32-21) 6-2. “I thought we played really good baseball tonight,” Jay Johnson said after the win. “We pitched well and we hit well;; if we do that, we have a chance to win […]
Florida Outslugs LSU to Take Game One 11-8
My sister graduated from grad school last weekend and I was unable to see a single pitch of LSU’s series against Georgia, which is unfortunate because I missed the Dawgs essentially end LSU’s season and rendered this weekend against Florida meaningless. Florida (35-18, 16-12) jumped on LSU (29-25, 9-19) early and held on late for […]
College Gameday Coming to Baton Rouge for LSU-Clemson
If it wasn’t obvious that LSU-Clemson is the biggest game for week 1 of the 2026 season, the TV overlords over at Disney have officially given it their blessing. The good people of College Gameday will in fact be comin’ to your citaaaayyyy to open up the college football season, as the show announced Tuesday […]
Tigers Sweep South Carolina to Stay Alive
The Tigers have a pulse. LSU (29-21, 9-15) got a desperately-needed sweep over lowly South Carolina (22-28, 7-17) to at least keep the Tigers’ postseason aspirations alive for another week. While LSU’s NCAA Tournament outlook is cloudy at best, one can’t help but think the future is bright thanks to some blossoming freshmen. Saturday (Game […]
Baseball Swept for A Third Consecutive Weekend
The 2026 LSU Baseball team isn’t just bad, they are now awful at historic levels. The Tigers (24-21, 6-15) were swept for a third consecutive weekend, this time on the road in Starkville, and have now lost a program-record nine straight SEC games. Even more agonizing for LSU is the Tigers scored three runs in […]
NFLSU: Six Tigers Drafted Over Final Two Days of the 2026 NFL Draft
The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone, and with it went six more former Tigers who heard their names called over Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Friday night, the second day of the draft, was a bit quieter than most expected from an LSU perspective. AJ Haulcy was the second Tiger selected and waited […]
NFLSU: Mansoor Delane Selected 6th Overall by Kansas City Chiefs
Stop me when you’ve heard this one before: an LSU defensive back was selected in the top-10 of the NFL Draft. Mansoor Delane made his one and only season in Baton Rouge count: he was a Thorpe Award finalist, a unanimous All-American selection, and now he can add No. 6 overall pick to his résumé. […]
Cooper Moore, Jake Brown to Miss Remainder of 2026
It’s been a brutal 24 hours or so for Jay Johnson and the 2026 LSU baseball team. If the product on the field wasn’t bad enough, somehow things have gotten even worse off of it, and at this point I think LSU’s title defense is now entering “season from hell territory.” Last night on his […]
A&M Sweeps LSU
Following LSU’s 10-4 loss to #10 Texas A&M, Jay Johnson said he made a mistake in constructing this year’s roster. Despite being called out so publicly, his roster proved him correct. The Tigers (23-18, 6-12) couldn’t muster any pride and suffered the humiliation of being swept by the Aggies (31-7, 12-5) for a second consecutive […]
Tigers Finish Second by Less Than a Tenth
It wasn’t meant to be, after all. The #2 LSU gymnastics team finished their season as national runners-up once again. The Tigers put up a solid 198.0750, but Oklahoma’s 198.1625 was enough to win them their eighth national championship. LSU beat Florida’s 197.6875 to give them their third straight season with a better finish than […]
Tigers Lose 5th Straight Conference Game
These baseball recaps are getting easier to write up. LSU (23-17. 6-11) has lost a second consecutive SEC weekend, losing game two of its series against #10 Texas A&M (30-7, 11-5) 7-2 Saturday evening at The Box. After getting back to .500 in league play two weekends ago against Tennessee, LSU has now dropped five […]
LSU Competes for Second Gymnastics Title
Welcome to the biggest stage in the sport once again. The #2 LSU gymnastics team is back in the final meet of the season for the 11th time in 18 seasons. Today, the Tigers face #1 Oklahoma, #3 Florida and #13 Minnesota for a chance at their second national title in three years. The path […]
Tigers Put Six on Individual Podiums, Earn 10 All-American Honors
LSU won’t take home any individual titles for the first time since 2023, but they picked up plenty of individual awards. Following the second session of the NCAA semifinals in which Oklahoma and Minnesota advanced to the championship, the NCAA handed out trophies to the top eight finishers on each event and the all-around. Kaliya […]
LSU Survives Semifinal After Georgia Push
Breathe a sigh of relief! For the 11th time in 18 years, the #2 LSU gymnastics team will head to the NCAA finals. The Tigers finished behind Florida’s 197.7875, but their 197.4375 beat Georgia’s 197.2625 and Stanford’s 196.9375 and was enough to make the finals. LSU put up their second-worst score of 2026, but they […]
Tigers Seek National Final Return, Chio Defends Championship
Thursday Afternoon Heights sounds bad, but that’s what we have. The #2 LSU gymnastics team is back in action in Fort Worth for the fourth straight year. After winning the Baton Rouge Regional, the Tigers are looking to grab one of two available spots in the national championship and potentially pick up some individual hardware […]
Flau’Jae Johnson Drafted Eighth Overall, Traded to Seattle Storm
Flau’Jae Johnson’s time as a member of the Golden State Valkyrie lasted about as long as it took me to write this report. Johnson was selected in the first round, 8th overall, of Monday night’s WNBA Draft by the Golden State Valkyrie; her draft right were subsequently traded to the Seattle Storm for the rights […]
Chio’s Challengers: Previewing the 2026 Individual Titles
The 2026 season may go down as the Year of Chio. Few people have dominated coverage and headlines for their consistency in the way Kailin Chio has throughout the 2026 season. It would’ve been tough for anyone to follow the freshman season she had, but she has exceeded all possible expectations by miles. In 2025, […]
Ole Miss Completes Sweep of LSU
Much like the LSU Baseball team, I’m showing up to Sunday a little later than you would have hoped. The Tigers (22-15, 6-9) lost a game they really needed to have against Ole Miss (26-11, 8-7) to complete the humiliating weekend sweep 8-7 Sunday at Swayze Field. The Tigers very nearly pulled off a second […]
