The Climb. The USA gymnastics team won gold at the Olympics yesterday! Let’s look back at when LSU won the National Championship earlier this year. In the season finale of The Climb, the LSU Gymnastics team completes their climb at the summit of their successes showcasing unparalleled determination and unity, leaving an indelible mark on the sport's history.

🔼 Out Of This Land. Two Tigers landed on the Outland Trophy Preseason Watch List! Will Campbell and Emery Jones Jr. make the list as two of the best interior linemen in college football. The duo paved the way for Heisman quarterback Jayden Daniels and the LSU offense last season. The offensive line was one of three finalists for the Joe Moore Award last year.

🔼 Peek At Perkins. Linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. has been named to the preseason watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as one of college football’s top defensive playmakers. He enters his third season with 26 tackles for loss and 13 sacks. He has forced seven fumbles and two interceptions.

🔼 Shining Silver. Former Tiger swimmer Brooks Curry took home a silver medal yesterday as the United States finished second in the 4×200m freestyle relay final. Since he participated in the preliminary race, he claims a medal. He swam the second leg in prelims and moved the United States from third to second. This silver medal will go right along with his gold medal from the Tokyo Olympics.

🔼 Counting Down. We’re 32 days away from kickoff and that number reminds us of the score to the 2022 football game against Alabama! The Tigers took down the Tide in overtime, 32-31. Tiger fans will never forget Mason Taylor’s two-point conversion to win the game. Those fans stormed the field in a frenzy.
