LSU Sports Insider

Storylines abound as the LSU Tigers prepare to face the Texas Longhorns on Saturday at Tiger Stadium. It's the first time Texas has visited Baton Rouge since 1953, it's the return of Arch Manning to Louisiana and it's, quite frankly, do or die time for the 2026 LSU football season. If the Tigers lose, their flimsy College Football Playoff hopes are over. If they win, they get a bit stronger and live for another week. We'll break down the matchup, from LSU's efficient offense versus Texas' balanced defense to Manning's mercurial nature against an LSU defense that hasn't quite been playing as well lately. Finally, we'll offer keys to the game and predictions. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #texas #texaslonghorns #hookem #hookemhorns #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin #archmanning

The LSU Sports Insiders are back with a long look at what happened to the LSU football team in its loss to Alabama on Saturday — why things went poorly in crucial moments, how much of it was bad luck vs. bad coaching and execution and what can be done about it. We'll also take a look at what's left of LSU's College Football Playoff chances and go big-picture: Was this roster not good enough, despite all of the investment? #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #Ncaafootball #lanekiffin

The LSU football team comes off its bye week to face the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday at Tiger Stadium.The rivalry game takes a hiatus next year, but this one has plenty of meaning: The winner is on pace for the College Football Playoff, while the loser will have its back against the wall — especially if that's LSU. We'll break down the matchup from all angles, give our keys to the game and make our LSU-Alabama predictions.  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #alabama #crimsontide #rolltide #ncaafootball #collegefootball #secfootball

The Southeastern Conference football race is a mess, with eight teams sitting between 5-1 and 3-2 in the standings, including LSU. The Tigers begin a crucial three-game stretch against Alabama, Texas and Tennessee on Saturday, and our LSU Insiders are here to break down the stretch, make sense of the chaos and discuss what it will take for LSU (or anyone else) to make the College Football Playoff. In addition, we discuss: • Would LSU even want to make the SEC championship game? • How players' draft prospects could affect LSU's stock in 2027 • Gov. Jeff Landry and his role in LSU athletics #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #alabama #rolltide #collegefootball #ncaafootball

This is the LSU Sports Insider basketball preview show, when we'll have Advocate beat writers dig into the seasons to come for both the Tigers' men's and women's teams. • Is RJ Luis really still a possibility for the LSU men? • With or without him, can Will Wade mold the talent he's assembled into a successful team? • Now that it's her team, how far can Mikaylah Williams take the LSU women? • Why do we like post players as the rising stars for both teams? • How far will both LSU teams go in March? With college basketball season starting next week, we answer these questions and more on this episode. #lsu #lsutigers #lsubasketball #collegebasketball #ncaabasketball #womensbasketball #mensbasketball #willwade #kimmulkey

The LSU Sports Insider podcast is back with an episode previewing LSU's trip to Auburn to face the other Tigers. It's a rivalry that has a history filled with crazy results, especially at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and LSU would like nothing more than to go get a win away from home. Those have been precious for the visiting Tigers, who have lost eight straight SEC road games, including their first two this season. We dissect the matchup, including some good injury news for LSU and where each set of Tigers matches up the best. Finally, we offer our keys to the game and predictions. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #auburn #auburntigers #wareagle #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball

The LSU football team enjoyed a routine blowout of Mississippi State on Saturday, and what happened the rest of the day helped the Tigers, too. Top teams fell across the SEC and the rest of the country, opening the door for LSU to re-enter the College Football Playoff conversation. We'll discuss the possibilities, starting with talk about whether any (or how many) SEC teams could make the playoff at 9-3, then going through the reasons to hope and reasons still to be skeptical of LSU's ability to get there against the rest of its schedule, starting next weekend at Auburn. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #cfp #collegefootballplayoff #collegefootball #ncaafootball

The LSU football team returns home to face Mississippi State in a crucial game Saturday at Tiger Stadium. It's a must-win if the Tigers want to remain in any semblance of the College Football Playoff hunt, and LSU might be catching a break, as it appears Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor will either miss the game with a toe injury or be limited in the game. As for LSU, they'll need to put a frustrating loss at Kentucky behind them and focus on the stretch run, with the help of ... a pink visiting locker room? We'll explain (and also give our keys to the game and predictions). #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #hailstate #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball

With a couple of days to digest LSU's upset football loss at Kentucky, our LSU Sports Insiders break down the game, both how it happened and how damaging it is for LSU's playoff hopes. We'll also discuss the Tigers' specific woes on the road and the Sam Leavitt roller-coaster experience. In the second half of the show, we'll focus on basketball with SEC Media Days coming up this week. On the LSU men's side, Will Wade is talking a big game about his roster, but it's so in flux that it's hard to tell exactly what it'll look like. Either way, the Tigers might be pretty good. On the women's side, we know LSU will be pretty good; but can they be great? #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegebasketball #womensbasketball #secfootball
