From @Luke Hubbard

How many times are we going to hear “ Texas is back “ only to see them choke away the season

maybe next year ….ooops ,well maybe not since their competition will ramp up considerable when they join a MAJOR conference

@Luke Hubbard breaks down the science of how LSU can still win the West.

Changing course a bit

Two great Tigers are in action tonight in the MLB playoffs

Aaron Nola is on the bump vs Atlanta and is dealing through the 4th with a 6-2 lead

Later Alex Bregman and the Astros tee it up vs the Twins . Bregs has had a good playoff run so far launching a HR last night in the Astros 9-1 win

I thought you guys would be interested in the latest update from Brian Kelly. He joined Paul Finebaum today and gave an update on Greg Brooks Jr. who has been transferred to St. Jude's Children's hospital in Memphis.

As always, Brian Kelly was the first one on the call, so here are some notes from his teleconference this morning.

• Says this is a very difficult offense to defend. Two QBs who can run and throw with a physical offensive line.
• Highlights Auburn's defensive line, said they're probably one of the best they'll face all year.
• Jayden has 5 games of at least 4 touchdowns. Ranks 1st in SEC in Touchdowns, pass efficiency and passing yards.
• He's had QBs that have had different skill sets, but says Jayden's speed, durability and toughness make him unique. Says he's the second QB he's had hit 10,000 passing and 2,000 rushing yards.
• Hopes the turnovers forced last week can get his defensive on the right track. Says turnovers and sacks are 'contagious' and he hopes they can feed off that.
• Joe Sloan has been an important part of Jayden's development. Says Jaydens and Sloan's relationship is really good, and he's seen those two grow together.
• Says every offense has it's identity, but this Auburn offense is a little different. They run two QBs and you have to key in on the rushing threat more than normal.
• Feels LSU played better on Saturday due to some of the things Pete Jenkins brought up. There's still a long way to go, but feels Jenkins' experience will help them continue to improve.
• Talks about not only his team, but the entire nation supporting Greg Brooks. Arkansas and Missouri wore the 3 sticker on their helmet and when he was moved to Memphis, the Memphis football coach reached out. Says his players have been impacted, because they now realize how lucky they are to play the game, because it can all be taken away from them at any minute.

Hugh Freeze comes on at 12:10 CST, so check this thread again around 12:30 for some notes on his teleconference!

Sights & Sounds from LSU's baseball scrimmage on Sunday.

From @Luke Hubbard

The TV of the game did not seem as good to me testerday as it normally is. It seemed like the cameras were further from the field or something. The picture also seemed darker. Did anyone else have that impression?

AL.com Auburn beat writer Matt Cohen stops by to answer some questions on LSU's matchup with Auburn.

Y’all see the end of the Miami game yesterday? One of the worst blunders I can remember.

From @jermaineevery

"Kelly said Pete Jenkins has made an impact already: It's going to take some time for the long haul, but from my perspective it's been good meeting with him on the techniques we need. I've enjoyed having him here. He loves LSU. The believablity factor with our players is immediate."

That was before he game.

And Pete Jenkins switched LSU to a 4 man front immediately..

Smith, Jones, Wingo and Swinson, and a host of others on the DL looked significantly better in the second half.

I would love to know Jenkins told Maason Smith.

LSU may have turned the corner with the snap of a finger, bringing in Pete Jenkins.

From @KatlynSmith

Anyone hear the story he got into a argument with the coach and is requesting a trade?

From @Luke Hubbard

a lot to play out, and he will (I'm pretty sure) have to have a signature win over Bama, and hold pat with the Aggies. Also a factor is there is no obvious choice as yet. But he is well positioned both stats and video wise. One competitor, J Williams, has a daunting schedule upcoming, another factor. We shall see, but you can't win it if you're not in it, and right now, he is.

Complete snap counts for everyone that played vs Missouri and their respective season totals.

We kick off a new series where we'll be taking a look ahead at LSU's position groups next season and what it means for the 2025 recruiting class. Who's leaving, who's signing and what it means for 2025's class. We start things off with quarterback.
