.@LSUwbkb's largest margin of victory (54) over an @AP_Top25-ranked opponent. LSU's previous high was set on Feb. 1, 2026, vs. No. 24 Alabama (40, 103-63). Prior to the 2025-26 season, the program high was 38 vs. No. 17 Auburn (89-51) on 1/29/1983.

Serna hit the longest HR by @LSUbaseball at The Box since Cade Beloso (456 ft.) vs Ole Miss on 5/5/19. h/t @LSUBaseballData

The last @LSUbaseball player to homer in his 1st 3 at bats of a game was @EddyFurniss at Auburn on March 13, 1998 (1st, 4th and 6th innings). @JakeBrown_14 tied program record for single-game home runs with 3 (as of the 4th inning).

.@LSUwbkb scored 40 points in the 4th quarter vs. Oklahoma, the most in a quarter in a game LSU was involved in since quarters format started in 2015-16.

2nd-most points in the 220-game series history between @LSUBasketball and @OleMissMBB. Those of a certain age will remember this 113-112 OT-thriller when Chris Jackson (now Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf) and Gerald Glass combined for 108 in 1989. youtube.com/watch?v=bE2xb0… (h/t @NealLamonica)

In its 1st two contests of the 2026 season, @LSUbaseball throws 17+ strikeouts in consecutive games for the 1st time in my records (since 1991). h/t Josh Green, LSU Broadcast Ops

For the 1st time in modern program history, @LSUsoftball scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th to earn a walk-off victory.

If you knew him, you loved him. Wishing John was with us for his 60th birthday today. His thoughts on the state of @LSUfootball would be priceless. Miss you, friend.

.@LSUfootball opened a game with a kickoff-return TD for the 1st time since Dec. 2, 1978, vs. Wyoming (Hokie Gajan, also 99 yards).

43 free throws made by @LSUbasketball also tied the most by any NCAA Men's Basketball team this season. The Division III Grinnell College Pioneers made 43 of 56 vs. the Greenville Univ. Panthers in a 161-130 double-overtime victory on Nov. 12.

Same. Let’s Geaux, @Lane_Kiffin

The head coach of your Fighting Tigers. @Lane_Kiffin is Callin' Baton Rouge!

@RussellGrant23 @LSUBasketball And beat DePaul in the Sweet 16 to get there.

@tpolitz @LSUBasketball That team went to final 8

.@LSUbasketball's 28-point halftime lead is its largest away from home since Jan. 1, 1987, when the Tigers led Denison Univ. in Laie, Hawaii, by 35, 52-17. It's LSU's t-3rd largest on record (since 1956-57).

With a 113-53 win over Marist in the USVI, @LSUwbkb also scored its 2nd-largest margin of victory away from home. LSU defeated West Texas St. by 61, 109-48, in Plainview, Texas, on Nov. 25, 1976, at the Plainview Queens Classic.

Ida Hermannsdottir set the @LSUsoccer record for single-season PK's made (5) - previously held by Alex Thomas (2018) and Jorian Baucom (2015 & 2016). She's tied single-season PK attempts w/ 6 (Baucom, 2015). With 9 made in her career, she's 1 behind Baucom's record of 10 PK's.

LSU made 3 field goals in a quarter for the 4th time in program history. Coincidentally, all below were in the 2nd Qtr.: 11/1/1969 @ OM (Mark Lumpkin 36-30-30) 10/21/1978 @ UK (Mike Conway 33-22-26) 9/18/2010 v MSU (Josh Jasper 32-51-37) 11/25/2025 v ARK (Damian Ramos 50-42-42)

Unsung hero @Ramoskicks kicked @LSUfootball's 8th "game-winning" PAT in the SEC era (since 1933), the Tigers' 1st since 11/23/02 (John Corbello vs. Ole Miss). Considering it to be "game-winning" if the kick was the last point scored in the 4th quarter (or OT) and LSU won by 1.

.@LSUBasketball opened its season with 3-straight 90-point performances for the 1st time since @SHAQ's 1990-91 squad, which started with 9-straight. O'Neal scored 24, 28 and 26 in the 1st three 1990 games.

I’ve tried to be as clear as possible on the rule which came into effect in 2013 when I was Coordinator of Officiating for the American Conference. I’ll try one more time. I posted the rule earlier. The key word in the rule is “position”. Once a player plays in a specific position (QB, RB, WR, LB, DB, OL, DL, Punter, Place-kicker, holder, etc), no teammate who shares the same number may legally play in that position. This is determined *at the snap* and what that player does during the down is not relevant. Here, the backup QB clearly was in the Punter position *at the snap*. No one else with #80 had played in that position earlier so nothing on the fake punt play was illegal as he was listed as #80 on the game day roster. After that, no other player with #80 can legally be in the Punter position when the ball is snapped. If that happens, it’s a foul for Unsportsmanlike Conduct at the snap. When the actual Punter #80 took his punting “position” later in the game it was a foul *at the snap* which would only be penalized once. USC fans can feel free to believe anything they like. But this is the rule.
