Panic time for LSU men's basketball, plus CFP picks
Panic time for LSU men's basketball, plus CFP picks

Ordinarily, an 0-2 start to SEC play would be no more than a mild irritation for LSU's men's basketball team. But given the strength of the conference this season and a schedule with the stronger teams still to come, the Tigers may be in for a difficult road. Advocate men's basketball beat writer Toyloy Brown joins the show to talk about the path forward and how LSU can turn it around. Also, Adovcate columnist Scott Rabalais has an update on LSU gymnastics and College Football Playoff semifinal breakdown and picks. #lsu #geauxtigers #collegebasketball #secbasketball #gymnastics #cfp #orangebowl #cottonbowl

Dattitude (324): Can Spencer Rattler do it again at Lambeau? LSU, Tulane bowl talk
Dattitude (324): Can Spencer Rattler do it again at Lambeau? LSU, Tulane bowl talk

Spencer Rattler seized his opportunity for the Saints in the second half against the Washington Commanders. Replicating that performance at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night will be much tougher. Can he do it? Jim Derry talks about that in his monologue and with FOX-8's Garland Gillen on Dattitude (Ep. 324) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also talk about LSU-Baylor in the Texas Bowl and Tulane-Florida in the Gasparilla. And, of course, we'll have 'Wednesdays with Gabe Henderson.' The show is LIVE beginning at 11 a.m. CT and available later on demand.
