Three golfers had the No. 1 player on the ropes at The Masters. They didn't stand a chance.
The scenes of Scottie Scheffler eliminating each contender to remind us: He is inevitable.
Story:
Ed Orgeron has been named the Associated Press SEC Coach of the Year.
Joe Burrow is SEC Offensive Player of the Year.
Derek Stingley is SEC newcomer of the year.
My dad died this morning, very suddenly.
Bob Miller was a tough dude, raised on a farm in Kentucky who started sweeping hair in salons and became a national VP of sales. He taught me to love movies. He loved baseball. He was rigid but sweet. Quiet but charismatic. A good dad.
Very biased tweet:
The committee gave Ohio State tons of credit for beating Indiana by 7 but gave Indiana no credit for losing only one game, to Ohio State, by just 7.
Lane Kiffin was asked what
#LSU
did to change and stop Ole Miss' offense.
“They started playing 40 (Harold Perkins) more, which I thought they would probably eventually do because he isn’t like anyone else out there."
A big win for TigerDroppings
In regard to
#LSU
receivers Kayshon Boutte, Malik Nabers and Kyren Lacy scrubbing their social media accounts last night, am told it was just them going dark on social media going forward after large negativity after Sunday's loss.
Boutte was still at film study today.
Joe Brady was the last coach off the field, and he walked off the field with five-star 2021 QB Caleb Williams prospect at his hip the entire time, talking in his ear as they entered the locker room.

#LSU
announces it will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID PCR test taken within 72 hours in order to attend a game in Tiger Stadium for those 12 or older.
The Burrow family doesn't get emotional. Jamie Burrow has seen his father cry twice in his life. Almost none of them have seen Joe Burrow get emotional.
He's an emotional wreck on stage.
#LSU
star freshman Arik Gilbert is heavily considering leaving LSU and missed practice today, sources tell The Athletic.
@247Sports
first to report.
Gilbert has been homesick since he arrived, sources say, and LSU is currently fighting to keep him.
It's officially happened.
With Mwani Wilkinson entering the transfer portal,
#LSU
basketball has zero remaining players from this year's LSU team. Eleven guys to the portal.
Sanctions are coming, and Matt McMahon will be building completely from scratch.
Penn State running back Noah Cain announces he's transferring to
#LSU
. A former five-star prospect, Cain is from Baton Rouge and LSU recruited him in high school.
Big get for LSU.
Eddie George says a few words for the Heisman finalists.
Then, they separate for an Ohio State pic.
Burrow goes off to the side.
"Wait, Joe do you want to join?"
#LSU
#LSU
just landed three big transfers instantaneously.
-Oregon edge Bradyn Swinson
-Arizona DL Paris Shand
-Florida DT Jalen Lee
LSU hits multiple key needs immediately.
Can't think of many hires that felt more like no brainers in the moment than Scott Frost at Nebraska, Tom Herman at Texas.
Both failed, while Ed Orgeron won a national title and Sam Pittman has Arkansas thriving.
We know nothing. Just accept it.
#LSU
receiver Kayshon Boutte just announced he will be returning for his senior season. Huge and surprising news for LSU, who could have a loaded receiving corps next year.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey announces games will not be rescheduled this fall due to COVID. It is up to teams to get vaccinated. If they don't have enough, they may have to forfeit.
Six of 14 SEC teams have reached the 80% vaccination threshold, he said.
In 2011, Zach Von Rosenberg was a minor league pitcher in the Pirates organization who bought two tickets at $1,000 a pop to see
#LSU
in the national championship game in the Superdome. LSU lost 21-0.
Eight years later, the 29-year-old will play for the title as a punter.
#LSU
receivers coach Mickey Joseph has turned down an offer to become Nebraska's passing game coordinator and associate head coach, sources tell
@TheAthletic
.
The mission: Make the Superdome feel like home. The responsibilities: Endless.
Three days behind the scenes with the
#LSU
equipment staff, the unsung heroes of the football program, as they prepare No. 1 LSU for the national title game.
Story:
News:
#LSU
lands five-star linebacker Harold Perkins from Cy, the No. 8 overall player in the country.
Big-time signing for Brian Kelly, snagging maybe the top linebacker in the country.
Five-star defensive tackle Maason Smith, the No. 1 player in Louisiana, announces he's coming to
#LSU
.
A crucial signing for the Tigers landing Ed Orgeron's top target in the class.
He lost his wife. Then a pandemic arrived and he had to spend months alone in their house.
He did projects around the house. He built things.
And Ensminger Jr. spent much of the pandemic creating his own playbook and calling his dad for feedback. Now, he's coaching.
Can confirm that
#LSU
cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond is expected to remain on Brian Kelly's
#LSU
staff, as
@HamiltonESPN
reported. Obviously a crucial staffer the past decade.
Hamilton also reported Kevin Faulk will stay on, but still working to confirm that.
Brian Kelly says he understands players opting out, but he says "This game is watched." Says these bowls are tape for NFL teams to watch.
"That's a whole lot more important than working on your 40 time."
BREAKING: The news is out there.
#LSU
and defensive coordinator Bo Pelini are expected to part ways, per multiple sources. First reported by
@BKubena
.
How did Ed Orgeron go from an
#LSU
national championship to fired in 21 months?
It's a story of off-the-field behavior, poor decisions and a whittling away of what brought success.
"He lost track of who he was."
Our deep dive:
Three-star New Orleans offensive lineman Bo Bordelon has committed to
#LSU
. He's the son of former LSU player Ben Bordelon.
Also, his mother, Gemi, is the famous woman in the LSU White House "Get the Gat" dance video.
Ed Orgeron and
#LSU
are national champions.
The Tigers go 15-0, had a Heisman-winning quarterback and put forth the greatest offensive season in college football history.
#LSU
is expected to hire Notre Dame's Brian Kelly, sources confirm to
@TheAthletic
, as we reported LSU was going for.
Kelly was one of the first people LSU contacted. A month later, it's happening.
One of the winningest coaches in college football is coming to Baton Rouge
Between K'Lavon Chaisson calling out Sam Ehlinger's arm, the Tom Herman/LSU dynamic and now this shirt, it feels like this is gonna be a beautifully petty week.
Godspeed.
#LSU
announces changes to its gameday COVID-19 protocols:
-No CDC wellness checks, which an LSU spokesperson says is to increase speed of entry and reduce build up in lines.
-The return of alcohol sales
Myles Brennan has gained roughly 30 pounds in the past year. Steve Ensminger wants him to gain another 10.
"I get on him all the time. He's always fishing and hunting. 'Don't you eat it?'"
#LSU
The final two plays of Jontre Kirklin's
#LSU
career will be two consecutive touchdown passes for 96 combined yards.
Just what we all expected from the defensive back signee who switched to receiver.
#NeverNormal
So Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts all reunite with their college receivers in one draft, when that's pretty rare in the history of the first round.
After 10 seasons as
#LSU
DB coach, Corey Raymond is accepting a job at Florida as "assistant head coach of the defense/cornerbacks coach," per
@mzenitz
Billy Napier takes one of the best defensive backs coaches in the country. Tough loss for LSU.
Ed Orgeron on Joe Brady: "I do feel like he's a Tiger. I do feel like everything's wrapped up. ... It's not completely finalized yet, but we're very close."
#LSU
Texas cornerback Jaelyn Davis-Robinson has committed to
#LSU
.
He unzipped his jacket to unveil an Oregon shirt, only to take that off and show an LSU shirt.
Can confirm that
#LSU
analyst Steve Kragthorpe, who has Parkinson's was punched by the fan.
Kragthorpe is okay now. Faulk threw back the guy who hit him.
Why is Greedy Williams skipping the Fiesta Bowl?
Go back to Williams breaking into tears in front of his sisters Saturday.
Go back to Williams almost leaving
#LSU
his freshman year to stay by his newborn baby Khloe's side.
STORY:
Ed Orgeron: "A year ago we were the best team in the country. We;'re going to find out who's really behind us. We're going to find out who really loves the Tigers. Because we're going to be champions again."
"Whatever you're hearing. I'm not buying."
#LSU
Joe Burrow doesn't really explore Baton Rouge too much, and he doesn't even take classes on the physical campus.
"I know where Perkins Rowe is. I know where Highland is, and I know where the casino is."
There's multiple casinos, though.
"Oh, I go to L'Auberge."
#LSU
Sad news. Bill Ensminger,
#LSU
offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger's father, died Thursday. The funeral is today.
It's been an awful year for that family.
On punting the ball into the end zone after the game winning score, Ja'Marr Chase says:
"I was trying to get fined, honestly."
Why?
"I just always wanted to do that."
