We will be staying at Universal Cabana Bay starting Friday leaving Tuesday.

Luke Hubbard is joining the Death Valley Insider team. Luke is a recent LSU graduate and is hitting the ground running this week.

Excited to have him on board.

Head Coach Brian Kelly met with the media on Monday and gave us and injury update ahead of LSU's matchup with Florida State. Here's what he told us:

- Running back Armoni Goodwin is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game.
- RB Josh Williams is listed as probable and should play against Florida State.
- Offensive lineman Kimo Makane'ole is listed as questionable.
- Defensive back Sage Ryan was injured in the scrimmage and Tiger Stadium this past week, but is good to go for this Sunday's game.
- Defensive tackle Maason Smith is suspended for Week one, but would still be listed as questionable if he were available.

The more I read about this suspension the more I think BS and now are beginning to wonder if the NCAA IS VINDICTIVE OR BEING PAID OFF. I understand that he is being suspended for receiving funds for autograph(s). Two weeks later the Supreme Court struck the NCAA rule prohibiting this down as illegal. So the NCAA is suspending him for violating a rule that wasn’t legal in the first place because the act was committed before it was struck down as illegal. This borders on stupid to me and it sort of PMO.

gents, I’m looking for two stadium club Grambling tickets. message me if anyone has two available

Water Cooler Talk: Can Jayden Daniels win the Heisman?​

Jermaine Every • Death Valley Insider
Analyst

Week Zero in college football has come and gone. The season is officially underway. Stories about new faces in new places, excitement over a new season, and predictions abound. One thing a new season brings is hype. One of the biggest hype machines in college football surrounds Heisman hopefuls.

This year, LSU's Jayden Daniels is one of the players on the watchlist to begin the season. Not only is he on thew watchlist, but he's the second leading betting favorite at +1000 according to Bet MGM. Only the returning Heisman winner, USC's Caleb Williams, is higher at +475. Not bad for a guy who transferred to LSU and played under a new head coach.

Considering the year he had last year, no one should be surprised. Daniels led the Tigers to a 10-4 record throwing for 2,913 yards on a 68.5-percent completion percentage with 17 touchdowns and three interceptions. He also ran for 885 yards and 11 touchdowns.

One major contributing factor to Daniels being so highly thought of is the returning offensive line. When things started clicking last season, Daniels and his offensive line were in synch with the plays being called, as well as his audibles mid-play to make something happen outside the pocket. Blocking for an athletic quarterback who can run isn’t easy. These guys made it work and made Jayden’s job easier.

What do you guys think? Will Jayden be invited to New York in December, can he win it?

LSU led the nation in college baseball attendance in 2023 with a total of 447,527 tickets sold in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The Tigers have been No. 1 in total attendance 25 times since 1996.

LSU was also No. 1 in the nation this season in average attendance with a figure of 11,188 per game, a mark that surpassed the previous school record of 11,006 established in 2013. The Tigers played 40 home games in 2023 and posted a record of 33-7 at “The Box.”

LSU also established in 2023 a school single-game attendance record with a figure of 13,068 for the Tigers’ March 30 game versus Tennessee. LSU exceeded a single-game attendance mark of 12,000 nine times during the season.

Any chance y’all could start a new piece following our ‘24 recruiting class? Get the stats on how they did each Friday night and cumulate them over the season?

My Son's current residence is Perrysburg Ohio and, his next-door neighbor is a University of Toledo assistant football coach.
The coach was telling my son that last year he was a coach at North Texas State University, and was on a recruiting trip at
Duncanville High School recruiting a player. While at Duncanville, he took notice of another player (at the time, sophomore WR Dacorian Moore) and Duncanville's head coach told him, "You aren't getting him."
LOL, I thought it was kind of funny! 😊

Today we're releasing our inaugural 3-2-1 column. I'm not sure if the group that was here with Tiger Details utilized this column or not, but it's been one of the more popular features across the Rivals network over the last several years. Typically it's broken down into Three things we know or Three takeaways/observations etc, two questions and one prediction.

In this one, I list three takeaways from fall camp, two questions surrounding two of LSU's top targets with impending decisions and an MLB prediction.

Hope you guys enjoy.

The 3-2-1: Camp takeaways, looming decisions and a bold prediction​

Suspended?? For improper benefits??? How is that even possible with NIL?? Being reported by Wilson alexander

They don't have a huge endowment. They don't have a desirable location. Is it the coaching? Is it, "The Ohio State" mystique? Whatever they are doing, they go into hugely southern recruiting strongholds and steal 4 and 5 stars.
