Gameday | 2017 LSU Football Season Recap

Gameday, Life in Football , , , ,

It’s hard to believe that I just finished my sixth season with the LSU Football team. Each year brings new memories, friends, coaches, stadium visits, and so many experiences that I want to remember forever. We welcomed home the 2007 National Championship team (and Coach Miles!), completed our first full season under Coach O and celebrated the Comeback game versus SEC West rival Auburn. It’s hard to put every fun memory about the football season into one post, but I am going to try! Here is a full recap of my experiences and stories from the 2017 LSU football season.

Gameday | LSU vs Auburn Recap

Gameday, Life in Football , ,

LSU – Auburn, y’all. Each year this rivalry game produces a memorable finish and adds to the long chapter of history between these two teams. There was the “Earthquake Game” in 1988 and the “Night the Barn Burned” in 1996. In 2007, the year of LSU’s last National Championship, LSU was trailing 24-23 in the final seconds of the game when Matt Flynn found an open Demetrius Byrd for the game-winning touchdown. I will never forget being in the student section for that game as Byrd came down with the game-winner as one second remained on the clock.

And, of course, we can’t forget the last time LSU and Auburn met before last Saturday afternoon. In 2016, the LSU Tigers went into Jordan-Hare Stadium thinking we had won on a last second touchdown, only for it to be taken off the board and the head coach fired the next day.

Now, we have another one to add to the list.

The Comeback.

Gameday | LSU vs Missouri Recap

Gameday, Life in Football ,

What. A. Week. Last week was a uncharted territory for an LSU team that has been led by Les Miles for the last 11 1/3 seasons. It was also unchartered territory for myself, who has only worked for one head coach in my career so far. In a span of six days we appointed a brand new head coach, had multiple coaching changes and a went through a whole lot of other changes that ended with a record-setting win over an SEC opponent.

Gameday Recap: LSU vs Wisconsin

Gameday , ,

LSU opened its season last weekend at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI, and it was an experience as a football fan that I will not forget. The Tigers are used to opening the season in some pretty big venues, but this is the most unique trip that I have been a part of with LSU. I am very thankful that I was able to experience this with our team and staff, and we fit A LOT into just a little over 36 hours.
