  Remembering Skip Bertman, clowning on Jayden Daniels and a football update

  Aug 18, 202646 min

  On this episode of LSU Sports Insider, we remember the life and legend of Skip Bertman, the LSU baseball coach and athletic director who died Friday at age 88. We remember how Skip built Tigers baseball from an afterthought to a powerhouse by force of will, how he ushered LSU athletics into the modern age as AD and how through it all, he was one of the most approachable, relatable figures on campus. Later, we rehash how badly Jayden Daniels has been the butt of online jokes over his No. 5 request and give a brief update from LSU football camp, where information is scarce. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #ncaafootball #collegefootball #lanekiffin #skipbertman #lsubaseball

  Jayden Daniels is NOT happy with LSU ... who's right about No. 5?

  Aug 13, 202641 min

  Drama found the LSU football program again overnight, with the story breaking that Jayden Daniels issued the school a cease-and-desist letter about using his name, image and likeness after LSU allowed DJ Pickett to have Daniels' No. 5 jersey number. Our LSU Insiders have thoughts on that and after Lane Kiffin and several players — including Pickett — spoke after practice Thursday. Join us for a special live edition of the LSU Sports Insider. #lsu #geauxtigers #lsutigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #jaydendaniels #heismantrophy

  Sam Leavitt talks, Lane Kiffin opens up and some depth chart reveals

  Aug 11, 202646 min

  The LSU football team has been at preseason camp for about a week, and some answers are starting to trickle in. First, quarterback Sam Leavitt says he's healthy and has been healthy, and limited clips from practice seem to confirm it. What does that mean for LSU's season? Lane Kiffin gave some more answers about his breakup with Ole Miss, and some non-answers about his old school suing a couple of LSU's players and the NCAA's 5-in-5 mess. Finally, there are some tentative conclusions to be made about LSU's depth chart at certain spots. We discuss all this and more on this episode of the LSU Insider. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin #samleavitt

  The day has arrived for legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who is to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Our Saints Insiders reflect on their memories of Brees' career and what the moment means to the Saints' fan base. Then, we'll dive into three of our biggest under-the-radar standouts from the first seven practices of Saints training camp, starting with a wide receiver who's not so under the radar anymore in Barion Brown. We'll finish with observations from Thursday's indoor practice. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfltrainingcamp #drewbrees #hof #halloffame #profootballhalloffame
