Good morning, LSU Fam. LSU Gymnastics and head coach Jay Clark announced the program’s 2026 schedule, featuring five home meets inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, marquee SEC matchups, and postseason competition in Baton Rouge.

LSU will look to defend its SEC Champions title in 2026, having won the conference championship the last two consecutive years. The squad will once again face one of the toughest slates in the country. Next year’s schedule includes trips to several of the SEC’s most challenging venues and the opportunity to host NCAA Regionals in the PMAC.

Sports Information: Traveling, the Importance of Game Notes & the Beauty of Game Programs
The SID Crew is back for Episode 4 of Sports Information as the LSU Football Tigers prepare to travel to Oxford for a showdown with Ole Miss. With that, the guys talk about travel – what it entails from a working perspective & more. They also discuss the importance of game notes (Kent's baby) and the beauty of game programs, which seem to be becoming a relic across various sports. Plus, as always, some niche stats and funny stories.

🔼 LSU Block Party. The LSU volleyball team earned its first Southeastern Conference victory of the season with a 3-1 (12-25, 25-17, 25-21, 25-23) win over Arkansas on Sunday afternoon at Barnhill Arena.

LSU (8-5, 1-1 SEC) captured its first victory in Barnhill Arena since 2018, in large part due to a physical presence at the net, where it finished with a season-high 17 blocks to hand Arkansas (5-8, 1-1 SEC) its first league loss. The 17-block performance marked the team’s fifth match this season with double-digit blocks and its third in the last five outings.

🔼 Ladies Were Tops in Tally. The LSU men’s and women’s cross-country teams both competed on Friday at the FSU XC Invitational, hosted in Tallahassee at the Apalachee Regional Park.

The women took the team win with a point total of 30, placing four Tigers in the top 10 en route to victory. Freshman Edna Chepkemoi got the individual win in her second cross-country meet with the Tigers, clocking 19:56.8 in the 5k. Chepkemoi now has two wins in two meets competed in.

🔼 Prime “Poll” Position. The LSU women’s golf team is ranked No. 11 in the second coaches’ poll of the fall 2025 season.

The Tigers, coming off a good third at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic earlier in the week, will be back in action on Oct. 6 at the famed Medinah Country Club for the Illini Women’s Invitational at Medinah.

There will be one more poll before the fall season concludes on Oct. 24.

🔼 A Miss in the Sip. The Ole Miss defense limited LSU’s offense to just 254 total yards, which was ultimately the difference in the game, as the Rebels defeated the No. 3 Tigers, 24-19, on Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

With the loss, LSU falls to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the SEC. The Tigers have a bye week next week and will return to action on Oct. 11 against South Carolina inside Tiger Stadium. Game time is TBD.
