Is Jordan Jefferson The Worst Long-Term Starter Ever?

I recently googled “worst four year starting quarterback” while doing some research. The first four results were links to statistical analysis of NFL quarterbacks, but the fifth was to Reggie Ball’s wikipedia. I think Georgia Tech’s fans would agree he doesn’t have much of a legacy on the field, but his statistics weren’t all that awful considering the rest of the team...

LSU recruit rocks bow tie, suspenders

Our first minor National Signing Day shenanigans are in the books, although this was relatively minor on the performance front. Alabama linebacker Kwon Alexander committed to LSU on National Signing Day. First and foremost, it’s a solid pickup for the Tigers. Alexander tore his ACL in 2011 but is still regarded as one of the [...]

Jordan Jefferson blames playcalling, lack of adjustments for LSU’s poor showing vs. Alabama

LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson had a miserable showing in the National Championship Game against Alabama. The senior went 11/17 for 53 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. The team amassed just five first downs and fewer than 100 total yards in the 21-0 loss. There were cries for Jarrett Lee to replace Jefferson at quarterback. So what does Jefferson think went wrong? He...

LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger and punter Brad Wing tweeted to each other how they were making out yesterday. Who knows if they were just joking around or experimenting.

Video: Tigers fan misspells "LSU"

Thanks to Tyler Williams for the video. The BCS Championship Game has already supplied us with some great humor. Watch the fan in the background of this video try to spell out LSU. I never knew spelling a three letter school name would be so difficult. I expect to see more things like this throughout the game. I don’t know if it can top the Georgia Dwags fan, but...

Les Miles Called Out Gunner Kiel

The highly touted recruit Gunner Kiel, out of Columbus, Indiana, had committed to Indiana. Kiel then decided that Indiana wasn’t for him, probably because Indiana isn’t for anyone who really has a chance to succeed at college football. After decommitting from Indiana, Kiel said he’d take his talents to the Bayou State and play for [...]

Introducing The Class of 2013: Defense

After our first look at the Class of 2013 on the offensive side of the ball, it's now time to take a look at the defensive players on LSU's radar. DTLouisiana does not have a ton to offer at the defensive tackle position. However, Tevin Lawson out of Denham Springs holds an early offer from LSU and it sounds like just a matter of time before he commits to the Tigers. Lawson...
