LSU's 2013 Schedule Unveiled


by Jillian Firnhaber

The SEC released its 2013 schedule today, meaning LSU's underclassmen will have to hide their eyes while focusing on winning this year's national championship. Next year's gauntlet isn't nearly as difficult as the Tiger's infamous 2011 schedule, but still looks to stack up against any major college football program for degree of difficulty.

by Chris Rinaldi

LSU went back to the basics on Saturday, and charged back into the National Championship picture. The Tigers defeated the No. 3 ranked Gamecocks 23-21 in front of a raucous crowd at Tiger Stadium.

by Chris Rinaldi

Today in Louisiana music history, Louis Armstrong & His All-Stars appeared live on CBS’s “The Edsel Show,” (1957). Now, more on Saturday’s events.


LSU Student Fires Gun at Her Mother in New Orleans: 2 Arrests Made


An LSU student made a surprise visit home to New Orleans at the end of the weekend, but it wasn't to do laundry. Nicole Lea Boover, 19, allegedly drew a gun and fired shots at her mother on Sunday morning while at her home in Mid-City, according to officials. Boover's mother was not injured in the incident. A few hours after the shots rang out, police received a call from Boover's stepfather, alerting them of the incident. Boover was on her way back to Baton Rouge with "male companion" Nathan Yuhas, the stepfather said.


LSU's Mike the Tiger in Battle for Mascot Supremacy

Cry of the Tiger: Fl Blinds LSU 14-6


By Chris Rinaldi

On Saturday, a Florida Gator team showed up to play SEC football, while LSU's coaching staff did everything it could do ensure that their more talented team lost. Atrocious play calling was highlighted by a refusal to run the ball, peculiarly, until the fourth quarter. Les Miles said that this game was for "red-blooded American men" to CBS's Tracy Wolfson in the pre-game and it turned out it was. Unfortunately, that description was only apt for Florida.


The Romp in the Swamp: LSU Tigers Enter Season-Defining Battle With Florida Gators on Saturday


by Chris Rinaldi

LSU fans are anxiously awaiting Saturday's game against the Florida Gators (2:30pm CST, CBS). It will be a turning point and defining moment for a team that has lost its identity over the past two weeks.  Whether it's injuries, inexperience, or a straying away from philosophy, the Bayou Bengals could lose all the hope this season began with if they don't win in The Swamp on Saturday.
