It was your old buddy Les Miles, I guess it was, who once suggested using a bulky old, roughneck oilfield wrench, preferably rusty or greasy, as a suitable trophy for the annual LSU-Texas A&M game. Nothing much ever became of the idea for some reason, and so far as I know no trophy ever emerged […]

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — For a program that likes to wear its badge of double-digit comebacks on its shirt sleeve, it will be interesting to see how LSU reacts to folding up like a cheap polo.

LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier was 4 yards shy of a career passing yards night against Texas A&M. It was the worst game of his career. The 405 yards he threw for were offset by a career-high three interceptions, all of which led to A&M scores during the Aggies’ second-half comeback and a 38-23 A&M win. Email […]

OK, listen up now. LSU has the weekend off, which gives us the opportunity to stray from the frivolous matters of the College Football Playoff, corralling a running a quarterback and maybe the chance of the Tigers occasionally gaining more than a yard or two themselves on terra firma. Any hope of getting anywhere near […]

LSU fans, y’all really need to get over it. Yeah, I know. You thought you were finally done with Nick Saban once and for all.

Welcome to the first round of the College Football Playoffs — aka, Alabama at LSU. Not officially, of course. It’s not really even a play-in game. The winner of tonight’s affair will still have work to do before the pairings are announced in December. Email newsletter signup Sign up for our daily email newsletter But […]

BATON ROUGE — Rest assured that any place that dips into a shady Florida Rent-a-Tiger center for a random cat to stand in for its regal live mascot has already shown it has a fairly high tolerance for embarrassment. So it should have come as no surprise that when LSU finally scored a touchdown to […]

Even as LSU turned its attention to this week’s game at Florida, the postmortem on the Tigers’ lopsided loss to Alabama continued on Monday. Head coach Brian Kelly summed up the 42-13 debacle. “You had a really good football team that played consistent and you had another team that had the will and desire but […]

Early in Jayden Daniels’ career at LSU, head coach Brian Kelly almost seemed to suggest that he wished his eventual Heisman Trophy winner would throw more interceptions. His point was that Daniels needed to take more chances, to quit waiting for receivers to break wide open, to occasionally trust his strong fast ball in risk/reward […]
