Cut 18 (12) “….some fun”

Cut 27 (13) “….say about that”

LSU’s first game is Saturday night at 6 PM against Arkansas.

Today was the first day of mandatory minicamp for the Saints and the battle for starting quarterback was turned up a notch. Coach Kellen Moore says  Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler are both throwing it well and he called them both really smart players.

Former LSU pitcher Grant Taylor has made it to the major leagues. The Chicago White have called up Taylor from Double-A Birmingham. Taylor was on LSU’s roster in 2022 and 2023. He was hurt in 2023 and in 2022 he was 4-1 with a 5.81 ERA in 31 innings.

With LSU and their rabid fans headed to Omaha for the College World Series, one restaurant across the street from Charles Schwab Field is getting ready. Every year, Rocco’s Pizza and Cantina sells Jell-O shots in the colors of the eight participating teams for five dollars apiece. Owner Kevin Culjat (KULL-jit) says when LSU went two years ago, they really cleaned up.

Cut 30 (09) “…happens this year.”

Culjat says to get ready for LSU’s arrival, they’re stocking 120-thousand Jell-O shots. $1 for every Jell-O shot is donated to the team’s local food bank.
