LSU head coach Brian Kelly was fired up in his address to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club. He says he has two goals: beating Clemson and competing for championships.

Cut 20 (13) “… a championship.”

The Tigers will travel to South Carolina August 30.

LSU pitcher Kade Anderson signed an $8.8 million signing bonus with the Mariners. It’s the seventh-largest bonus in MLB draft history but falls roughly $700,000 short of the slot value at the number three overall pick

Tigers D-H Ethan Frey also signed his contract with the Astros for nearly one million dollars, almost 200 thousand dollars above his slot value at pick 95.

The Saints’ quarterbacks spoke for the first time after the team’s second training camp practice today. After a perfect day yesterday, Spencer Rattler threw the first interception of camp to rookie Quincy Riley on a pass he was trying to throw out the back of the endzone.  He says the quarterback room is supportive of one another, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t competition.

Cut 21 (07) “…built for this.”

Second-round Pick Tyler Shough got the starting reps today after Rattler did yesterday. The rookie says it’s important not to fall into the trap of one-upping each other.

Cut 22 (09) “…will happen.”

Veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks and Alontae Taylor got into the first fight of camp after an incomplete pass in the end zone. Benches cleared, but the scuffle defused quickly. New Orleans will put pads on next week, and their first preseason matchup with the Chargers is scheduled for August 10.
