NFL Draft Wraps: Saints Say Yes to the Dress, LSU Sets RecordAnother NFL Draft is in the books, meaning the handicappers can get started on the Kentucky Derby. For the rest of us, there's some real live football to think about, and it's only...four months....away. Nevertheless, when the first whistle blows, there will be some new faces. On Saturday at the Draft, the Saints picked up a first skill player to go along with all the big guys, and LSU Tigers kept seeing their name called. Click through for a full rundown: NFL Draft: Saints Pick Kenny Vaccaro, Keke to ClevelandIn the end, Keke wasn't even available for the Saints, so they looked to hook'em with the 15th pick. LSU's Barkevious Mingo went to Cleveland with the sixth pick in the NFL Draft, and the Saints selected Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with their first round selection.

Gallo sought the names of all applicants for the position, and the university denied her request. LSU Football's Harlem Shake, and the Mad Hatter Mashup (VIDEO)At last, we know what Les Miles was warming up for during that rant after the Ole Miss game. Sorry Russell Shepard, the Mad Hatter was getting meme-ready. Like the part of the campus that doesn't play football and seemingly everybody else on Earth before them, the LSU Fighting Tigers did their own version of the Harlem Shake recently. Click through to see the results, and a remix that might be even better. LSU Livestreams Budget Cuts MeetingState budget cuts mean big changes for public universities, and the Tigers are reorganizing and "streamlining" procedures as a part of their LSU 2015 campaign.
