What Was And What Should Never Be

The Brian Kelly hire at LSU was a disaster. It was never going to work, and the results spoke for themselves. The zenith of which happened Saturday night, when the only reason “Fire Kelly” chants weren’t totally pervasive was because so many LSU fans vacated the stadium over the course of the second half ass […]

Postgame Thoughts: Texas A&M 49, LSU 25

No matter how this 2025 season finishes up, you can’t say that this LSU team isn’t historic. If losing to Vanderbilt for the first time since 1990 last week wasn’t bad enough, LSU followed that up with its first home defeat to Texas A&M since 1994. Much like last year’s game, a halftime lead for […]

He Harolded Kelly’s Beginning…He Harolds His End

I think we remember eras by players. Unless a coach is at a spot for a long period of time, you tend to associate them with the players who embodied their achievements and/or failures. Who doesn’t tie Ed Orgeron and Joe Burrow at the hip? Even despite everything that came after. I think that, when […]

Instant Reactions: Vanderbilt 31, LSU 24

It sure feels like the Brian Kelly era has come to an end in some way shape or form. For the first time since 1990, three years before I was born, Vanderbilt has beaten LSU in football. Don’t let the final score of 31-24 fool you, this wasn’t close. Vanderbilt dragged their nuts all over […]

Gamethread: #10 LSU vs. #17 Vanderbilt, 11:00 A.M., ABC

Post Game Reactions: LSU 20, South Carolina 10

What a weird night. LSU did the only thing that mattered tonight inside Tiger Stadium: they won, beating South Carolina 20-10 to improve to 5-1 on the year and 2-1 in league play, but boy was it annoying watching it play out in real time. Saturday played out almost the exact same way as the […]
