Wright's 8,000 words are always a pleasure to read. If we cross paths in Oxford, I have a button my grandfather would want you to have - before it turns to dust.

.@Lane_Kiffin made an interesting observation: @LSUfootball offense essentially ran 28-straight plays (officially 27 w/ penalty) for 135 yards in 10:30 of game time. Initial drive was 19 plays. Last time LSU had a 19+ play drive w/o scoring: 9/10/05 at Ariz. St. (19-80, 11:02).

Déjà vu for @LSUfootball's defense: Prior to the 4th quarter, La. Tech was held to 1 yard or less on 23 of 35 plays. 3 plays gained 1 yd. 9 plays gained 0 (incl. 6 INC, 1 INT) 11 plays tackled behind the line (incl. 6 sacks) Tech's longest play (11 yds): fumble lost

.@LSUfootball has recorded its most yards of offense (1,172) and allowed its 4th-fewest yards (285) in its first 2 games of a season (records since 1937). Previous offensive high: 1,082 in 2023. Defensive lows: 1. 97 (1937) 2. 244 (1958) 3. 245 (1979)

For fans of a certain age, tonight's uniform combo was the Tiger Stadium staple of your childhood. @LSUfootball played 83-straight home games from 1982-94 in Gold Helmets, Purple Jerseys, Gold Pants. LSU led the charge to change the NCAA home-jersey color rule in 1995.

.@CoachBlakeBaker-led @LSUfootball played LSU Defense on Saturday. Prior to its final drive (8 plays, 71 yds), Clemson was held to 1 yard or less on 23 of 40 plays. 3 plays gained 1 yd 9 plays gained 0 (incl. 7 INC, 1 INT; 3 PBU) 11 plays tackled behind the line (incl. 4 sacks)

Impressive @LSUfootball numbers v. Clemson: - LSU-record 38 1st downs; 20 rushing (most v. P4 since 1995) - 51-straight points; 644 yards (300+ rush & pass) - 1 1st down allowed in 1st half - Outgained opp. by 499 yards, largest margin v. P4 - Won by 41, T-largest v. ranked opp.

Latest in my records was 8:40 p.m. CT vs. BYU in the Superdome in New Orleans on Sept. 2, 2017. Though exact times weren't kept as part of official stats, @LSUfootball hasn't had a kickoff in Tiger Stadium as late as 8:30 p.m. since beating Ole Miss, 61-17, on Dec. 5, 1970.

Recent - and incomplete - list of @LSUfootball delays. Feel free to let me know about others.

.@LSUbaseball players who debuted @MLB within 2 seasons of their final game in an LSU uniform. Roland Howell (an LSU Athletics Hall of Famer in football, who also played basketball and baseball) pitched for @Cardinals weeks after graduating from @LSU in 1912.

Congrats, @herbvincent! Thank you for all you've done to establish and elevate @LSUsports & @SEC's reputation and traditions. You always focus on the good, overcome the bad, and make the average elite. Many careers were born from your leadership and guidance. Enjoy the season!

Our world has lost two giants of men, Matt McKay and Joe Dean Jr. I was fortunate to spend the 1st Saturday in May with them for many years. They were best friends, opposite personalities, steadfast, loyal to tradition. They will be remembered and revered for as long as I live.

Praying for the Bertmans and for LSU players and staff who knew Skip for decades. Sad that the next generation won't get the great fortunate of learning from and working with him. Show your kids a Skip video - they're timeless and priceless. Rest well, coach. You'll be missed.

There are finite numbers that can quantify Skip Bertman’s coaching success. Wins, titles, All-Americans. What cannot be measured is the personal impact he had on so many lives, including mine, through his wisdom, his instincts, his compassion, and his humor. He changed lives. His legacy will last across Louisiana, college baseball and countless players and friends and their families for generations. (This is my last picture with Skip, along with his great friend Billy Guitreau.)

Heck of a week, @Samburns66! Best finish (solo 2nd) by an @LSUMensGolf player in the history of the @usopengolf. Previously, both @davidtomsgolf and @JohnPetersonFW finished tied-4th in the 2012 US Open.
