Cut 13 (14)  “…about building.”

Southeastern Louisiana upended ULM 38 to 35, marking the first loss to an FCS team for the Warhawks since 2005. It’s the 11th loss in a row for ULM and Coach Bryant Vincent is taking the blame for what he calls an embarrassing loss to the Lions…

The win was Southeastern’s first over an FBS team in 36 attempts.

BTR was one of 14 airports nationwide to win the grant through the U-S Department of Transportation’s Small Community Air Service Deployment Program. Director of aviation Mike Edwards says it is the same type of grant that helped the airport launch its nonstop flights to Washington, D.C. He says that service is still going strong.

Cut 8 (12) “…past performance.”

The average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline in Louisiana is up to four dollars. AAA spokesman Don Redman says he doesn’t expect prices to go back down until the war in Iran ends. The statewide record is four dollars and 55 cents a gallon, but Redman doesn’t think it will get that bad.

Cut 5 (06) “…in Iran.”

LSU dropped to number 10 in the AP poll after losing to Ole Miss 32-24. The Tigers trailed by 17 in the third quarter but tied the game and had a chance to force overtime in the final minutes. Coach Lane Kiffin says the team will need to regroup before its SEC home opener against number-23 Texas A&M on Saturday.

Cut 18 (15) “..get a win.”

The Saints got a big 24-17 road win over the Ravens yesterday. Quarterback Tyler Shough threw for 252 yards and a touchdown and punched in the go-ahead touchdown to cap off a 15-point fourth quarter. Shough says he doesn’t feel any pressure in the moment.

Cut 14 (14) “…a big moment.”

It was a mixed bag for the Saints and LSU, one team completed its comeback the other did not. Let’s start with Saturday night as the LSU Tigers fell behind 17-0 to Ole Miss, but came back to tie it at 24, only to lose 32 to 24.

The most talked-about game of the offseason is almost here. Seventh-ranked LSU visits eighth-ranked Ole Miss this weekend in the first SEC matchup for both teams. Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin helped turn transfer running back Kewan Lacy and quarterback Trinidad Chambliss into stars at Ole Miss last season; now he has to stop them.

Cut 12 (15) “…up front.”

But, of course, the star-studded rosters aren’t why this game means so much to both fan bases. Kiffin left a sea of betrayed Ole Miss fans in his wake when he chose to come to LSU after leading the Rebels to their best six-year stretch in program history.  Ole Miss coach Pete Golding, though, says any off-field drama won’t change anything after kickoff.

Cut 13 (12) “…win the game.”

Tigers linebacker Whit Weeks says he’s excited for the Tigers’ first road trip in a hostile SEC environment, but he doesn’t know what the crowd has in store for Kiffin.

Cut 20 (12) “…than anybody.”

Sally Stiel with the LSU Alumni Association says she hopes that won’t stop anyone from having a good time.

Cut 5 (10) “…be there.”

UL Lafayette takes on UAB tomorrow night after losing 49-30 to USC last week. Head coach Michael Desormeaux says the Cajuns did not get the outcome they wanted from their trip to California, but the experience can be good down the road. He says the team needs to have a mindset that it is never good enough.

Cut 17 (19) “…so far.”

Cut 16 (16) “…is unbelievable.”

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt reportedly participated in LSU’s walkthrough practice session today. Leavitt was limited in practice yesterday and landed on LSU’s availability report as doubtful for the Tigers’ trip to Ole Miss.

If Leavitt is at all affected by injury, LSU will need its defense to continue the dominant form its had to start the season. Ole Miss’s backfield of Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy will be a step up from anything the Tigers have faced so far. Former national champion LSU linebacker Darry Beckwith says he’s less worried about Lacy replicating the success he had last year without Lane Kiffin, and the Tigers should focus on pressuring and containing Chambliss.

Cut 18 (18) “…stopping the run.”

Kickoff between the seventh-ranked Tigers and eighth-ranked Rebels is set for 6:30 Saturday.

Landry Kiffin, the daughter of LSU coach Lane Kiffin, took to TikTok today to speak out against a banner made by Ole Miss students in Oxford that made her the punchline of a vulgar sexual joke. The 21-year-old Ole Miss student has been dating LSU linebacker Whit Weeks since last year, but there have been untrue rumors in Oxford about Landry Kiffin being in a sexual relationship with a player who no longer attends Ole Miss. Kiffin says she hopes people realize there is an actual person behind the jokes they make…

Cut 10 (12) “… mind-blowing to me.”

Saints tight end Juwan Johnson returned to practice today after being sidelined with an illness yesterday. Wide receiver Chris Olave was limited with a hamstring injury, and defensive end Chase Young was limited with a calf issue after neither appeared on yesterday’s injury report. Long snapper Zach Wood is expected to miss four to six weeks with a calf strain. Wood signed with the Saints in 2017 and has not missed a game since.

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt is doubtful to play when the Tigers visit Ole Miss on Saturday. Leavitt reportedly is dealing with a sore throwing shoulder and was listed on the initial SEC availability report last night. Tiger Rag Editor Glenn Guilbeau says he showed no signs of injury against LA Tech last week.

Cut 6 (10) “…now this.”

LSU’s defensive starters have yet to allow a touchdown this season, and the Tigers have allowed fewer yards than any other team in the country. Their dominant front seven has limited teams to just 18-and-a-half rushing yards per game and racked up 12 sacks. 2007 national champion LSU linebacker Darry Beckwith says this defense plays with a speed he hasn’t seen at LSU in recent years.

Cut 16 (12) “…can run.”

The Saints running back Alvin Kamara made a full return to practice yesterday. Kamara returned from an MCL sprain last week, and head coach Kellen Moore says the team played it safe against Detroit, but he feels good about Kamara playing this weekend. Quarterback Tyler Shough says that’s huge for the offense.

Cut 20 (16) “…the backfield.”

The Saints will head to Baltimore this week to face the Ravens. Baltimore has their own prolific veteran running back in Derrick Henry who Moore says will take a group effort to stop. Henry had 144 yards and three touchdowns in his season opener last week. The Saints and Ravnes kick off at noon on Sunday.

LSU announced plans to build a statue on campus of former two-time All-American women’s basketball player Slyvia Fowles. She’ll join four other Tiger greats…Bob Petit, Shaquille O’ Neal, Pete Maravich and Seimone Augustus.

A shocking development for Saturday night’s top ten SEC showdown between LSU and Ole Miss. Tigers starting quarterback Sam Leavitt is listed as doubtful on the availability report. On3-dot-com’s Pete Nakos is reporting Leavitt has a sore throwing shoulder and he’s been limited all week.

If Leavitt can’t play, Elon transfer Landen Clark is expected to be the starting quarterback. He’s been the first quarterback off the bench in LSU’s two blowout wins.

And the Tigers will need a strong performance for its defense, which is ranked number one in the country in total defense. Former LSU linebacker Darry Beckwith is impressed with how the players focus on their own assignments…

Cut 17 (16) “…impressed”

Kick-off is at 6:30.

The Saints hit the road to face the Ravens on Sunday. Baltimore running back Derrick Henry opened the year with 144 yards and three touchdowns against the Colts last week. The 32-year-old has rushed for over one-thousand yards in seven of the last eight seasons, and Saints head coach Kellen Moore says he isn’t slowing down.

Cut 19 (19) “…gonna take.”

Saints running back Alvin Kamara was a full participant in yesterday’s practice, so it looks like he’ll make his season debut against the Ravens after missing the season opener with a knee injury suffered during training camp.

LSU will build a statue on campus of former two-time All-American women’s basketball player Slyvia Fowles. She’ll join four other Tiger greats…Bob Petit, Shaquille O’ Neal, Pete Maravich and Seimone Augustus.

ESPN is reporting that LSU star defensive end Princewill Umanmielen received court papers in the parking lot of the team’s practice facility as he’s a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Ole Miss that claims he and fellow LSU Tiger Devin Harper owe Ole Miss close to a million dollars for breaking revenue-sharing contracts. Legal analyst Franz Borghardt on whether the two LSU players actually owe Ole Miss money…

Cut 4 (13) “…to anything.”

Borghardt says the timing of this was no coincidence as the Tigers and Rebels prepare to square off in a top-10 matchup on Saturday.

Saints rookie tight end Oscar Delp returned to practice with a hamstring injury today while Juwan Johnson sat out with an illness. Defensive end Cameron Jordan was still limited as he recovers from a hamstring injury, but running back Alvin Kamara was a full participant. Head coach Kellen Moore said he feels good about Kamara playing against the Ravens this weekend after being sidelined the last month with an MCL sprain.

LSU’s defense is first in the nation in yards allowed per game, but the Ole Miss backfield of Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy will be its biggest test this season. Chambliss ran for 71 yards against the Tigers last season and defensive end Princewill Umanmielen says LSU will need to contain him.

Cut 17 (15) “…next play mentality.”

The NFL sent out a memo to teams today barring tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris from visiting, trying out or signing with an NFL team this season. The pair signed NFL contracts during training camp but tried to return to college football after being waived. The league said their commitment and participation at LSU made them ineligible to come back to the NFL this season. They were also left off of the LSU football roster despite winning a preliminary injunction to return to college sports and block the SEC rule preventing their return.
