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 […]

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 […]

Ole Miss Run Rules LSU To Claim Series

The reigning national champions are a bad baseball team. LSU (22-14, 6-8) have dropped a crucial road series to Ole Miss (25-11, 7-7) in humiliating fashion, losing 12-2 in seven innings. The Tigers scored the first two runs of the game, and surrendered all 12 Rebel runs over the final three innings, including seven in […]

LSU Wins Baton Rouge Regional, Stanford Advances

Another undefeated home slate is in the books. The #2 LSU gymnastics team is heading back to Fort Worth as regional champions. The Tigers won the 22nd regional championship in program history in strong fashion with a 197.825. The real battle of the meet came down to the fight between #7 Stanford and #15 Clemson, […]

Tennessee Shuts Down LSU to Even Series

If tonight felt eerily familiar, you’re not alone: game two of LSU and Tennessee’s series followed practically the same exact script only this time around, LSU wouldn’t homer their way to another improbable victory. The Vols (20-11, 4-7) held on to its 4-1 lead this time and evened the series against LSU (21-11, 5-6). The […]

LSU Competes for Baton Rouge Regional Title

It’s time to punch some tickets. The #2 LSU gymnastics team gets one last meet at home, and they’ll either advance or stay here. The Tigers won their regional semifinal in dominant fashion, but now they have to take on #7 Stanford, #10 Michigan and #15 Clemson for a spot in Fort Worth. The top […]

Tigers Rally Back to Steal Game One Against Tennessee

Now that the calendar has flipped to April, spring is truly in the air: the temperatures are getting warmer, the sun is shining longer, and the LSU Baseball games are getting sillier. This time around, it was the Tigers (21-10, 5-5) scoring six runs in the eighth and ninth innings to rally back and beat […]

Tigers Dominate Regional Semifinal, Chio Perfect Twice

Well that’s one way to kick off a postseason run. The #2 LSU gymnastics team broke program and NCAA records Thursday night and advanced to the Baton Rouge Regional final.

Better Know a Regional: Baton Rouge

It’s nice to stay home for once. Eight teams have made the trip down to the Bayou State to join LSU in a PMAC-hosted regional for the first time since 2019. If LSU advances, one of those teams will join them in a trek to Fort Worth alongside five individual qualifiers. The Baton Rouge Regional […]

Duke Eliminates LSU in Sweet 16

A potential comeback for the ages and a fourth straight Elite 8 appearance was 2.6 seconds away for LSU (29-6) but instead a buzzer beater from Ashlon Jackson rolled around the rim and in to knock the Tigers out. Duke (27-8) got its revenge against LSU last night in Sacramento, eliminating the Tigers 87-85. The […]

Tigers Prep For Sweet 16

The LSU women’s basketball Tigers are back in a familiar place, the Sweet 16. And they will likely face two familiar foes. Again.  It is the third year in a row the Tigers will possibly play UCLA and the third year in a row the Tigers will play a team that they beat either the […]

Reports: Will Wade Returning to LSU

I can’t believe I’m typing these words: Will Wade is (almost officially) returning to LSU. While a deal has not yet been signed (and…you know Matt McMahon still works here) all signs point toward Wade, aka The General, The Pear, The American Gangster returning to Baton Rouge. While there had been smoke about Wade possibly […]
