The SEC has amended its federal lawsuit against LSU, seeking the authority to expel the school from the conference. SEC CEOs are scheduled to meet Thursday to decide whether to terminate LSU as a member institution. Tiger Rag Editor Glenn Guilbeau says he thinks cooler heads will prevail before Thursday.

Cut 9 (13)  “…and angry.”

Guilbeau says LSU has not broken the SEC’s rule that calls steeps penalties for rostering pro players. Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris who were on NFL rosters last month, have not been added to LSU’s roster.

LSU Athletic Director Verge Ausberry told Guaranty Media in an interview before the injunction ruling that the program has no intention of breaking SEC rules.

Cut 10 (09) “…have to do it”

Many are mourning the death of longtime sports radio host Mike Detillier, who passed away on Sunday at 65 from a brief bout with pancreatic cancer. His longtime radio partner on WWL Radio, former Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert, says Detillier was well respected for his football opinion and more importantly he was very kind…

Cut 6 (07) “…is a jerk.”

Detillier’s spent 40-plus years as a pro and college football analyst on WWL.

In his four months remaining on Capitol Hill, Senator Bill Cassidy is continuing to urge Congress to address the solvency of Social Security, whether it’s his plan or someone else’s. On NewsNation, Cassidy said the first step in solving the issue is actually being allowed to put the proposals before Congress.

Cut 4 (09) “…put them forward.”

Cassidy’s plan calls for federal government to set up an investment fund that grows over time and use the growth to pay benefits to social security recipients.

The SEC is threatening to kick LSU out of the conference claiming the school has lost institutional control. In a court filing on Tuesday in federal court, the league says there have been efforts to add players who were on NFL rosters during training camp, which violates a new policy that the SEC enacted. But Tiger Rag Editor Glenn Guilbeau says the players in question have not been added to LSU’s roster and why is the league now trying to kick a school out…

Cut 12 (12) “…last week”

SEC presidents and chancellors are set to meet Thursday.

Bill Cassidy has less than four months remaining in the U.S. Senate, and he’s using that time to push his plan to ensure Social Security remains solvent. He outlined his plan in an appearance on NewsNation.

Cut 3 (10) “…on Social Security.”

Cassidy said all risk would be borne by the investment fund, and that would pay 65-percent of the unfunded accrued liability of Social Security.

The SEC amends its federal lawsuit against LSU, seeking the authority to expel the school from the conference. Attorney General Liz Murrill and LSU’s entire board of supervisors were added as defendants in the lawsuit alongside Athletic Director Verge Ausberry, president Wade Rousse and football coach Lane Kiffin. Murrill filed an amicus brief supporting the return of the players formerly on NFL rosters in the preliminary injunction hearing last week but says she has no idea what claim they could be making against her or her office.

Cut 11 (13) “…sure why.”

When forecasters say this hurricane season would be quieter than normal, they weren’t kidding! We’re coming up on the middle of September, and we haven’t had one Atlantic hurricane yet. The record for the latest in the year without a hurricane is September 11th, accomplished in 2002 and 2013, and we will break that record.

A routine trip to the grocery store for two elderly women in Acadia Parish turns into a harrowing experience. The 69 and 68-year-olds were loading their groceries into their vehicle in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly store in the town of Rayne, when a man forced his way into the vehicle and drove off with the groceries and the ladies’ belongings inside. Police located the stolen vehicle and tried pulling it over, but the driver, 47-year-old Michael Dupuis Jr., refused to stop. Dupuis led law enforcement on a pursuit, which ended when the vehicle became disabled near Breaux Bridge. Dupuis tried running off but didn’t get very far. He’s now in the Acadia Parish Jail on 100-thousand dollars bond.

The SEC has amended its Lawsuit against LSU, seeking the authority to expel the school from the conference. SEC CEOs are scheduled to meet Thursday to decide whether to terminate LSU as a member institution. The federal lawsuit was filed last week in regards to LSU’s recruitment of Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who both signed NFL contracts this summer. LSU did not list them on their roster for the Clemson game, per the SEC’s rule, but did leave two spots open.

After having poor rushing attacks the last two seasons, LSU showed in the blowout win over Clemson that it can run the football. Wisconsin transfer Dillon Jones had 113 yards rushing and two touchdowns and averaged nearly five yards a carry. Coach Lane Kiffin is not surprised by his success.

Cut 18 (15) “…front of us”

Louisiana is mourning the loss of legendary pro and college football analyst Mike Detillier of WWL Radio, who passed away at the age of 65 after being diagnosed with terminal cancer just two weeks ago. Among many other things, Detillier co-hosted “The Second Guess” with former Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert, who was overcome with emotion talking about showing up to work yesterday knowing Detillier wasn’t there.

Cut 13 (14)  “…him there today.” (sobbing)

The Pelicans traded guards Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy, a second-round pick and a second-round pick swap to the Grizzlies for 21-year-old guard AJ Johnson and 41-year-old forward Taj Gibson. The Pels drafted Hawkins 14th-overall in 2023, but the former UConn sharpshooter averaged five points a game last season as his minutes were nearly halved. Peavy was a promising second-round pick last season, but the pair were moved to free up cap space for the signing of guard Bennedict Mathurin.

It seems that some in the SEC have just about had it with LSU. We just got word not too long ago that SEC presidents and chancellors will meet Thursday to vote on whether to expel LSU from the SEC. Apparently, comments that Lane Kiffin made at halftime of LSU’s blowout win over Clemson ruffled some feathers – when leading 31-3, Kiffin told an ESPN sideline reporter the score would have been even more lopsided had former NFL players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris been playing. It will take a two-thirds majority to boot LSU from the SEC. 

Today is 9-8-8 day — a day when mental health providers spread the word about Louisiana 9-8-8, a number you can call or text 24 hours a day to receive free, confidential mental health counseling. VIA Link social worker Sherrard Crespo says the 9-8-8 helpline saves lives.

Angelle Bradford with Louisiana Progress wants Hyundai to stick to that.

Cut 7 (09) “…natural gas power.”

Today is 9-8-8 day — a day when mental health providers spread the word about Louisiana 9-8-8, a number you can call or text 24 hours a day to receive free, confidential counseling for any problem, big or small.  Suicide is the third leading cause of death for Louisianians ages 10 to 34.

Cut 14 (18) “…it actually was.”

Former DeRidder Mayor Misty Roberts was released from jail yesterday. It comes as Roberts completed her 90-day jail sentence for having sex with a then-16-year-old boy at a house party. Roberts was fined five-thousand dollars and given two five-year suspended sentences.

As the start of construction of the Hyundai Steel plant in Ascension Parish draws nearer, the group Louisiana Progress is raising concerns about the plant. Angelle Bradford with Louisiana Progress says one big issue is the people living near the site – not only those choosing to stay in their homes who now have this steel mill close by, but also for those being forced to move.

Cut 8 (13) “…the potential displacement.”

In honor of 9-8-8 Day, there will be a rally on the steps of the State Capitol to raise awareness about the Louisiana 9-8-8 helpline. Sherrard Crespo is a social worker for VIA LINK, one of the nonprofits that answers 9-8-8 calls in Louisiana.

Cut 12 (06) “…there to listen.”

While 9-8-8 is a national number, local crisis workers answer the calls.
