So let’s unpack some of it. Freshman guard Cam Thomas is the truth. He leads the team in scoring through three games with 24.3 points per game. Sophomore forward Trendon Watford has shown vast improvements, too, with 19.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. And oh by the way, Darius Days lost some weight, is in great shape, and looks the best he’s looked in his career. To ..read more

LSU’s 27-24 win over Arkansas on Saturday won’t be the biggest, or the flashiest, or the prettiest win you’ll ever see. That goes without saying. But it was desperately needed. These Tigers showed some things today. When adversity hit, they didn’t crumble or fold. Freshman quarterback TJ Finley found a way to win on the road. We hadn’t seen Finley in a “game on the line” type situation yet. He blew out South Carolina and got blown out by Auburn. But today showed he could handle the pressure and make plays.

Like anybody who starts anything from the ground up, I began writing for an audience of zero. But at that point, it didn’t really matter. I was just excited to be able to have my own website. It provided me with a platform and some credibility. BUT IT TOOK COUNTLESS – and I mean coun ..read more
