After a couple of weeks of relative silence, there was a flare-up today between LSU, the SEC and state officials following the Louisiana AG's motion to dismiss the conference's federal lawsuit.
The SEC was "deeply disappointed."

Ty Benefield lore: He said he wanted “the smoke” when he moved from Canada to Cali to chase a scholarship.
After playing JV snaps much of his junior season, his breakout play came in the final regular-season game.
It was a catch-and-run through fog to set up a game-winning TD.
Five years ago, LSU's Ty Benefield was an 11th-grade transfer from Canada volunteering for JV snaps at a California H.S.
Now, he's an NFL prospect chasing Heisman hopefuls in the SEC.
"I want all parts of any fight ... I want everything."

Good analysis from @byreeddarcey on LSU's issues on the offensive line, particularly on the interior. It goes all the way back to Week 1.

Pels have now drafted Angel Reese’s cousin (Jordan Hawkins) and signed her brother (Julian).
They were never teammates though. Hawkins got traded a couple weeks ago
Source confirms #Pelicans are adding some rebounding help by signing Julian Reese to a 2-way deal.
Yeah, that's Angel Reese's brother. nola.com/sports/the-pelicans… via @nolanews

What's the deal with LSU's 4-man roster?
Will Wade finally spoke about his basketball team in typical unfiltered fashion.
Wade on the roster holdup, practices, RJ Luis, if he'll use this "unconventional" approach again and more ⬇️

NEW: Lane Kiffin is concerned. This was an issue he knew could pop up after a couple of injuries.
The answer? Depth, and #LSU’s lack of it.
