⏱️ COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 5️⃣0️⃣ DAYS

The 133rd season of LSU football is now just FIFTY days away folks!

That’s right, the Tigers hit the gridiron in 5️⃣0️⃣ when they take the field in Clemson, S.C. for a highly-anticipated showdown between two of the country’s best programs over the past few decades.

It will be LSU’s first trip to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium and it marks the fourth consecutive year LSU’s season-opener will be televised in prime time on ABC.

The meeting with Clemson will be the first for the Tigers since the CFP National Championship Game in January of 2020 when LSU posted a 42-25 win in New Orleans.

🔼 Eyes On The Prize. He hasn’t teed it up for the Tigers yet, but incoming freshman Dan Hayes and his England teammates are making noise this week in Killarney, Ireland.

Playing in the European Amateur Team Championships, Hayes helped his squad to a 6-1 match play victory over Finland by dominating his match, 6&5.

🔼 Setting The Slate. LSU Soccer has unveiled its 2025 schedule, officially kicking off the season at home on Thursday, August 14 against South Alabama at 7 p.m. CT in the LSU Soccer Stadium.

In her sixth season, Head Coach Sian Hudson leads a talented group into a highly competitive 18-game regular season that features eight home matchups, including five key SEC contests against Alabama, Missouri, Texas A&M, Kentucky and Florida in Baton Rouge.
