Bomb Threat at Texas A&M as LSU Prepares for ShowdownBomb threats seem to be following LSU around. With the Fighting Football Tigers set to face Texas A&M tomorrow morning at Kyle Field, a bomb threat was called into the College Station, Texas, campus this morning. At 11:42 a.m., Texas A&M announced evacuated the campus, and cancelled classes. The Exodus from Aggieland will be without traffic jams, as the university community was asked to leave on foot. LSU's 2013 Schedule Unveiledby 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. NOLA Fashion Week Rookie Brings Mesdress to CatwalkNOLA Fashion Week continues to welcome designers from all over the country to the catwalk, but as is often the case here, they’ve made a lot of space for young, local talent. Tonight, welcome Molly Stackhouse’s Spring ’13 Mesdress Collection to the stage of the Saratoga (212 Loyola Avenue) and see what the local LSU Alum’s collection has to offer. LSU Regains Their Roar, Beats South Carolina 23-21LSU 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. Les Miles' team staged an impressive ground attack led by freshman Jeremy Hill, who ensured a LSU win with a 50-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. LSU-South Carolina Preview: Fighting Tigers Face Another Top 10 OpponentLSU will be under the lights in Death Valley tonight, as they take on the No.3 South Carolina Gamecocks (7 p.m., ESPN). Tonight's game is a chance to recover from last week's loss, the team's first in the past 18 regular season match-ups, and also an opportunity to for the Tigers to maintain control of their national championship destiny. Today in New Orleans 10.13.12There’s a lot to do this Saturday in the Big Easy, with some college football in Baton Rouge, galas all over town, festivals with the city’s best food and music, an animal expo for dog lovers, and the weekend’s Endless Gaycation events! 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 MadeAn 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 SupremacyAt Tiger Stadium this Saturday, the Tigers and Gamecocks will be represented by large young men in helmets and pads. But this week, the two mascots get to be themselves in a heated battle taking place right here on the Internet. LSU and Les Miles' own Tiger Son Mike the Tiger is going to head to head with Cocky, the stuffed South Carolina likeness, in this week's edition of the Capital One Mascot Challenge. Cry of the Tiger: Fl Blinds LSU 14-6By 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 SaturdayLSU 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. |
