It is now LSU New Orleans. The university has returned to the LSU system fairly recently.

LSU Shreveport, LSU Alexandria, and LSU Eunice all have the same colors, purple and gold, as well. They are are all part of the LSU system. Why shouldn’t they have purple and gold?

That’s what I did. Much better price than in Baton Rouge for the same brand hotel

By season’s end the LSU defense was very, very good. Players who had been injured were back at strength, everything gelled, and they pretty much dominated offenses from the A&M game onward.

I would assume the Mary Mahoney’s has cleaned up its act after being prosecuted by the feds for mislabeling imported fish, and being sentenced to paying a penalty of $1.499 million in 2024. The U.S. 5th Circuit has recently an allowed a class action suit over the mislabeled fish to continue. The scheme apparently ran between 2002 and 2019.

re: Why do we allow Texas A&M’s band to perform on our field every year?

For 20 years or so LSU and A&M played in Baton Rouge every year. The Aggie band always marched at halftime.

If history is any guide, this will be a close game. How many times have we seen fans predicting a blowout by LSU against a SEC opponent, only to see a tight game, a scraped out win or even an upset? I hope the game isn’t close and LSU puts Ole Miss away with a big margin. I’m not expecting that because Ole Miss will be fired up and very dangerous.
re: More Hostile Reception in Oxford—Lane Kiffin or James Meredith?
Posted by tigerinridgeland on 9/16/26 at 5:14 am to RockChalkTiger
In the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, there is a letter on display written by an anonymous student and circulated on the Ole Miss campus in October of the year James Meredith enrolled at Ole Miss. The letter called for protests against his enrollment, and ended with “Go to hell, LSU.” I have to say, I laughed out loud when I saw it. Great museum, by the way. I’ve also met James Meredith. Nice guy.
Ole Miss Fan Preseason Take
Posted by tigerinridgeland on 9/6/26 at 9:18 am
From a post on the Ole Miss board:
“Yeah but it seems like we are only having a problem with one of our mercenaries. LSU has gotta have a toxic locker room. Lane has been a distraction all summer as he acts out.
I have heard nothing about their actual team or how they are gelling while our coaches keep raving about our depth ie we have more guys who can play sec football.”
Looks like LSU gelled pretty well, and I saw no signs of a toxic locker room.

re: Why are LSU players being isolated as being pros?
Posted by tigerinridgeland on 9/4/26 at 8:19 am to jp4lsu
And if being a pro is being paid for your time and skill, then under the NIL regime, there are lot pro players in college football. College football is no longer an amateur sport.
And there is no substantial difference between the 5th year players who didn’t sign a pro contract and those who did, but never played pro balI. I think college athletics now is a complete mess, but there is a lot of hypocrisy from the NCAA and the SEC. If you are going to give players a fifth year, do it fairly, not based on a technicality. Those that signed had been led to believe they didn’t have a fifth year.

Strangely, few people noticed or recalled afterward that when LSU called a timeout in the 4th quarter, the clock operator let the clock run several seconds after the ref signaled timeout. I recall because I looked at my date and complained the clock was still running after the timeout was signaled. The time wasn’t added back by the refs. There should have been several more seconds on the clock, but for the clock operator’s slow response earlier in the 4th quarter. But had he stopped the clock when he should have, the ending would not have been nearly as legendary.

And an Ole Miss fan to boot. He was a ref for high school games in Mississippi. Apparently couldn’t get a ticket, so he went back to his car, got his uniform and walked in through the gate the refs used.

Pardons are given to the guilty. Innocent people don’t need pardons.

re: What happed to Bama?
Posted by tigerinridgeland on 1/14/26 at 9:27 am to ScootiniTiger
A car and a few bucks, or pay for a summer no-show job from the old days is nothing like the millions being handed out now. Players couldn’t retire after college based on what they got paid. Nowadays, some leave college as multimillionaires, without even signing a pro contract. It’s a different game today. But I think the take that Bama doesn’t have the resources to play the game today is a little bit of wishful thinking.
Texas Bowl and Ai
Posted by tigerinridgeland on 12/27/25 at 9:18 am
I simply put in “Texas Bowl 2025” into the inquiry box to see what time the game is. I kid you not, here is what AI responded:
“The 2025 Kinder's Texas Bowl was played on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at NRG Stadium in Houston, featuring the Houston Cougars (Big 12) against the LSU Tigers (SEC) at 8:15 PM CT on ESPN, with LSU winning the game against the hometown Cougars.”
:lol:

And had to accept the invite. Texas needed the SEC far more than the SEC needed Texas.

Of course Texas was begging to join the hayseed SEC to try to regain some actual relevance in college football.

When I was in school at LSU, the entire week before the Ole Miss game, especially when in Tiger Stadium, was like a big festival. Flag football tournament on the Parade Ground for charity, panty raids (yes, they actually happened), food fights in the cafeteria on Thursday night.

For many years after every home game prior to the Ole Miss game, “go to hell Ole Miss” was chanted as people left the stadium. It wasn’t just the student section. It was everywhere.
There is a letter on display at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson calling for a protest against the admission of James Meredith to Ole Miss. The anonymous letter, apparently written and circulated in early October of that year, ended with “Go to Hell LSU.”
