Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:23:00 GMT OXFORD, MISS. -- Saturday's game against Ole Miss resembled LSU's meeting with Alabama two weeks ago.

For a game that isn't for the SEC Championship, a BCS bowl, or even a slot in Atlanta, this contest has received quite the buildup. That's good, if for no other reason than we haven't had to discuss either team "playing out the string". ]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:06:00 GMT The first five weeks of Tharold Simon's senior year were quickly turning into a nightmare.

It didn't shock me that the Tigers were flat after a tough loss to Alabama. But, I was shocked that LSU struggled as much as it did against a weak Louisiana Tech team. Again, this was a Bulldogs team which is 2-4 in the WA]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:51:00 GMT LSU will not be participating in the Southeastern Conference championship game next month. Florida and Alabama will decide the winner of the SEC title for the second straight year in Atlanta's Georgia Dome. But, like Florida and Alabama, the Tigers are still in control of their own destiny as regards their bowl destination]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:38:00 GMT One would think Trent Johnson would want his current LSU team to have a few more games under its belt before taking on opponents like Connecticut and, possibly Duke, on the big stage of Madison Square Garden]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:06:00 GMT Nearly three weeks have passed since "Ego" Ferguson Jr. of Hargrave (Va.)

Following a redshirt campaign and two years of action as a backup, Levingston was finally going to get the opportunity to start on LSU's defensive line at end]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:12:00 GMT Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:26:00 GMT Baton Rouge (La.) Capitol is in the middle of a playoff run, so the young men on the team are focused entirely on reaching their goal of a state championship. Given that, it's understandable that recruiting would be on the back burner for Corey White. ]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:21:00 GMT LSU's veteran basketball team of a year ago didn't get to perform on the big stage until the NCAA tournament last March.

Twelve months later, there are concerns that this scenario may be repeating itself]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:13:00 GMT LSU received a taste of what opposing defenses plan to do this season - stop Tasmin Mitchell and Bo Spencer. Indiana State limited the Tigers' top two scorers to a combined six field goals and 18 points. However, LSU relied upon its own defense and rebounding to come away with a 56-45 victory in the first round of the NIT Tipoff Classic. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:51:00 GMT LSU appeared to be rather disinterested in its 24-16 victory against Louisiana Tech last Saturday night. Tigers coach Les Miles agreed with that assessment. He also expects a different attitude when LSU travels to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for its game against Ole Miss on Saturday afternoon]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:48:00 GMT
