Stop us if you've heard this before. LSU went on the road and lost its season opener, and now returns to Tiger Stadium looking to get its season back on track. The familiar scenario plays out again Saturday night as LSU opens the 100th anniversary season of Tiger Stadium against Nicholls State. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. The game is only available online via SECNetwork+. LSU is ready to debut a huge new video scoreboard in the north end zone for Saturday's game as well as new and expanded ribbon message boards and new flashy (literally) LED lighting. What else does the future hold for Tiger Stadium? Our Wilson Alexander has a peek into the crystal ball. In my game day column, I look at LSU's record against in-state opponents. Nicholls is the last current Division I in-state team that LSU has not played until now. Will the Tigers continue to spread the guarantee money around the state? Should they? Let's discuss. Speaking of LSU football's future, the Tigers picked up a new commitment Friday. Reed Darcey tells you who, what position, where he's from, and who his favorite Paw Patrol puppy is. Well, not that, but we've got the important information here. Angel Reese is addressing rumors about why she was away from the LSU women's basketball team for several games early last season. Not sure if what she said really answers anything, but you can judge for yourself. Finally, Saturday marks the final game and final day on the job for our friend and colleague, Sheldon Mickles. Sheldon started at the paper way back in 1978 and over the years has covered it all from high schools to the Saints to LSU football and basketball and is our track and field expert par excellence. We sure will miss him, but wish him the best as he heads into the sunset. Thanks for reading and subscribing. Please continue to follow us for the most comprehensive LSU coverage around. Have a great football weekend, everyone. Scott Rabalais |
