Game one of LSU’s series with Ole Miss was interrupted by rain, meaning the Tigers and Rebels will essentially be playing a doubleheader today. The game was suspended with the Rebels leading 4-2 in the bottom of the third. Dylan Crews homered in the bottom of the first to give LSU a 2-0 advantage but Ma’Khail Hilliard got off to a rocky start, allowing four runs on four hits in the second. Game one resumes at 11 am with game two to start 50 minutes following the conclusion of the opener.

Another former LSU Tiger has decided to join the New Orleans Saints. Jarvis Landry confirmed via Twitter that he and the Saints have agreed on a one-year deal. Landry is a five-time Pro Bowler with the Dolphins and Browns and has averaged 86 receptions and 950 yards over eight seasons. Wide receiver, a major weakness for the Saints last season, is suddenly a strength, with the expected return of Michael Thomas to form, and the additions of first-round pick Chris Olave and now Landry.
