#LSU is now the first and only team in college football history to feature a 5,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season. @LSUfootball
This is a plea to my followers & friends in media to keep Lake Charles & southwest Louisiana in the news. The damage from Hurricane Laura is unimaginable and will take years to rebuild and recover. Please help continue spread the word and do anything you can to help. 🙏
In an empty room prior to meeting w/ media following game, @FSUBaseball coach Mike Martin asked if he could see @LSUbaseball Devin Fontenot. Martin told him, “you pitched like a warrior” & went on to say how impressed he was with his performance. It was a cool sight to witness.
Here’s why bowl games matter: Tonight I saw players w/tears in their eyes leave field; I watched an interim HC deliver one of the best pregame speeches I’ve ever heard & then saw him shake the hand every @LSUfootball player leaving field; I saw a WR play QB & he made us proud.
That's Joe.... (Burrow)..
* Led Athens HS to 7 playoff wins (at time the only playoff wins in school history)
* Led @LSUfootball to school's only 15-0 mark & most dominant season in college football history
* Led @Bengals to 1st playoff win in 31 years & 1st ever road playoff win
Now that I’ve had a chance to let last night sink in, I can say that I’ve never been prouder of a group of players. Our guys fought so hard, gave everything they had & left it all on the field. I’m proud to be a @LSUfootball Tiger! One Team, One Heartbeat. #LSU
#LSU is the only school in America this year to win a New Year's 6 Bowl game and have a team in the Sweet 16 of @marchmadness. @LSUfootball@LSUBasketball@LSUsports
#LSU will honor its 14 seniors tomorrow during pre-game starting at 5:40. Get to your seats early and show these guys how much they mean to us.
* 4 bowl games
* 9 wins over Top 10 teams
* 20 games ranked in Top 10
.... and there's more to come. @LSUfootball
Now on display in Canton: Artifacts from WR @JJettas2's historic rookie season in which he set an @NFL record for the most receiving yards by a rookie during the Super Bowl-era.

What a night. @LSUfootball goes 12-0; @Joe_Burrow10 breaks more records and I got to sit with my dad at a #LSU football game for first time ever. Great memories. Thanks Dad!
More bragging rights for @LSUsports. #LSU is ONLY school in nation this year to win a bowl game, reach Sweet 16 in @marchmadness Basketball Tourney & have both baseball & softball teams advance to Super Regionals. @LSUfootball@LSUbaseball@LSUsoftball@LSUBasketball
Been saving this all week in hopes of being able to use it. Former @LSUfootball assistant coaches who come back to Tiger Stadium as opposing head coaches are now 0-10. Smart 0-1, Dooley 0-3, Muschamp 0-2, D.Dickey 0-2, Peveto 0-1, Mack Brown 0-1. #LSU
#LSU defense playing its best football of the season. @LSUfootball held Oklahoma to its fewest rushing yards all year (97). It was the first time since 2016 season opener vs. Houston (70) that OU was held under 100 yards rushing.
I posted the video of the @LSUfootball game-winning field goal last night.
Forgot that I videoed the attempt to tie the game and the celebration that followed. Enjoy. #LSU

#LSU
With the win tonight over Alabama, @LSUfootball coach Brian Kelly has now coached teams to 17 consecutive wins during the month of November. Kelly hasn’t lost a game during the month of November since 2017 (loss at Stanford on Nov. 25). #LSU
Fresh off @SEC press.... @LSUfootball is No. 1 in the #SEC in the following categories:
Scoring (55.0)
Pass Offense (436.3)
Pass Efficiency (209.2 rating)
First downs (81)
3rd-down conversions (57.6 pct.)
Redzone Offense (21-of-21)
On this day last year, we were getting ready for Brian Kelly's @LSUfootball introductory press conference. Today, we are getting ready for BK's SEC Championship Game Press Conference. Let that sink in for a minute.
18 of the 23 draft-eligible players that were in the starting lineup in the @LSUfootball vs. Alabama game in 2019, have been picked in the first 3 rounds of the #NFLDraft. #LSU beat the Tide, 46-41, on its way to a 15-0 national championship season.
#LSU lands in Baton Rouge as Alabama stops Ole Miss on 4th down. Plane erupts. Just another Saturday with @lsufootball. Proud of these guys. Great group who have worked extremely hard to put themselves in this position.
This Natty celebration is a fitting end for a magical @LSUfootball season. Parade through campus and a packed PMAC for the official presentation of the trophies. 50,000 #LSU fans showed up on campus today for this event. #GeauxTigers
It’s the little things that make this place special - saw a @LSUfootball fan buy coffee for a Florida fan - complete strangers - at Starbucks this morning. That’s who we are. Going to be a great day. Geaux Tigers! #LSU
Just how much talent did @LSUfootball have on its roster this year? All 20 draft-eligible players were either drafted (#LSU tied all-time mark with 14) and the remaining 6 signed free agent contracts with #NFL teams. #NFLSU
Texas winning tonight means that all 3 of @LSUfootball non-conference FBS opponents in 2019 will be coming off 10-win seasons. Utah State 11 wins, Georgia Southern 10 wins and Texas 10 wins. #LSU
You should have used your platform to congratulate LSU developing a relationship with an outdoor billboard company that allows us to celebrate these awesome accomplishments in a matter of minutes. You should know it’s called good business and promoting the brand. #LSU
Overheard @SSJreef tell @lsukent “that’s the first time you’ve heard ‘O’Neal for 3’ in the PMAC”. He’s right @SHAQ never made a 3 during his @LSUBasketball career.
For those of you who have followed me thru the years when I shared my Max tweets as he grew up, he turned 16 today. @JoeyB was nice enough to help us with an awesome 16th birthday present for him. Happy Birthday Max and thanks Joe! I’m dad of the year for at least a day or two.
Thought I was cool getting to hold the natty net and then Coach Mulkey says her feet her and hands me her shoes. When the natty HC hands you her your shoes, you hold them, no questions asked 😳😂
6,450,000 people watched @LSUfootball beat Florida on Saturday night on @espn. Largest audience for a college football game on the network in nearly 2 years. #LSU
Haven't been this excited for a @LSUfootball game in quite some time. #12 LSU vs. #2 Georgia on @CBSsports. Sellout Crowd of over 102,000 in Death Valley. Pre-game parachute team, halftime Jerry Stovall jersey retirement. Be there and help make the Valley Shake! #GeauxTigers
#LSU added another No. 1 ranked team to its historical list today as @LSUBeachVB is ranked No. 1 in nation. 13 of LSU's 21 sports have been ranked No. 1 in nation at some point in its history: football, bsb, sfb, wbkb, gym, m/w golf, mtennis, m ind/out track;
w ind/out track
Start your Thanksgiving week knowing that @LSUfootball QB @Joe_Burrow10 is the first player in @SEC history to throw for 4,000 yards and 40 TDs in the same season. #LSU#Heisman
It’s the small things that can make the day for a young child battling a horrible disease. Thanks to @unos1_ for taking time today to spend with Brecken. Ali gave them a locker room and stadium tour and then presented him with a ball signed by @JoeyB. #LSU
More on @LSUfootball:
* LSU has scored in 41 of a possible 44 quarters this year.
* LSU has trailed only 3 times the entire season (7-3 to NW State 1Q; 28-21 to Florida 3Q; 13-10 to Auburn 3Q).
* 53 of LSU's 68 offensive TDs have come on drives of less than 3 minutes #LSU
LSU's 7 picks through the first 2 rounds of the #NFLDraft is the most in school history over that span. The @LSUfootball school record for NFL Draft picks for an entire draft sits at 9 (2013 and 2014). #LSU
#LSU leads all of college football with 5 first round picks in the 2020 #NFLDraft - a school record. Still more to go over the next two days. The @lsufootball record for draft picks in a single-season in 9 in 2013 and 2014.
#LSU only school in @SEC to win at least 10 games in football & reach the 20-win mark in both men's & women's basketball this year. Nationally, only 5 other schools playing in FBS have done it: Baylor, Ohio State, Iowa, Boise State, & Oregon. @LSUfootball@LSUwbkb@LSUBasketball
So now it's a #1 vs. #3 matchup in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night between @LSUfootball and Alabama. Can't get much bigger for a regular-season game. #LSU
With the win last night, @LSUfootball has now won at least 8 games for the 20th straight season. The 20 straight years of at least 8 wins in the longest streak among Power 5 teams and dates back to 2000. #LSU
Congrats @JoeyB. The @LSUfootball legend joins Deshaun Watson, Cam Newton and @TimTebow as only national championship quarterbacks in BCS and CFP era to win a @nfl playoff game as a starter. #LSU@espn
He’s back. Returns as one of only 5 QBs in @LSUfootball history to throw for 400 yards in a game and he’s only #LSU QB to pass for 300 yards in each of his first 3 starts.
#LSU remains undefeated in Tiger Stadium against Texas A&M since the Aggies joined the SEC in 2012.
@LSUfootball now 5-0 against A&M in Death Valley as conference foes.
Please allow me to brag for a moment as the boy on the right @Peyton_Bonnette took his last #LSU exam yesterday and will be graduating from @lsu on May 8. Wow, so proud of him but time sure does fly.
We are now less than 24 hours from kickoff between @LSUfootball and Alabama. There will be more media covering this game than any other game in Tiger Stadium history. #LSU
#LSU QB Danny Etling currently ranks No. 2 in @SEC HISTORY in interception to attempt ratio (200 and 400 attempts). Etling has thrown just 7 interceptions on 511 attempts for a 1:73 ratio. He trails only AJ McCarron (1:86) and ranks ahead of @TimTebow (1:62). @LSUfootball
Name another school in America that can draw over 10,000 fans at 3 different sporting events in consecutive days…. We have the best fans in college sports. Thank you for supporting #LSU.
Just had a first as I got a call from a reporter in Italy wanting to do an interview with @LSUfootball coach Ed Orgeron. The reporter ended the call with "Geaux Tigers", which by the way sounds pretty good in an Italian accent. #LSU
Joey B keeps adding his name to @LSUfootball history. With @Bengals win today, Joe will join the late David Woodley as the 2 former #LSU QBs to start in @SuperBowl. Woodley started Super Bowl XVII for the Dolphins.
Congrats to @TyDavisPrice who joins the @LSUfootball 1,000-yard club. With 84 yards tonight, he now has 1,003 for the season becoming the 21st 1,000-yard rusher in #LSU history.
Random Joe Burrow-Ja'Marr Chase note. @Real10jayy__ has 37 career TD receptions (#LSU and NFL) & all 37 have been thrown by Joe Burrow. The last time Ja'Marr scored on a TD pass that wasn't thrown by Burrow came in high school in 2017 from Chandler Fields. @Bengals@LSUfootball
Congrats @YorkCade. He keeps making @LSUfootball history. Longest field goal in school history (57), longest field goal in Tiger Stadium (56), most 50-plus yard field goals in #LSU history and now he’s the first LSU kicker selected in @NFLDraft history. @Browns
Congrats to the 4 @LSUfootball players receiving their #LSU diploma today. @clark_damone@shanahan_liam, Lloyd Cole and Preston Stafford. The sky is the limit for these guys - congrats and go help make the world a better place.
“It is time, after all that has happened, to give some praise and kudos to players in this program.”
@jonrothstein wants the @LSUBasketball players to get some real recognition after this run.
Some @LSUfootball notes on the eve of Signing Day: #LSU QB @Joe_Burrow10 is first player in LSU history to throw for 2,500 yards and rush for at least 350 yards in the same season. His 2,875 yards of total offense (2,500 pass, 375 rush) ranks No. 4 in LSU history.
What a great young man who represents his team, his school and the state of Louisiana with pure class. Couldn’t be happier for him. Always greets me with a smile and finishes with “yes sir” #LSU
#LSU has played the nation's No. 8-toughest schedule & @JayD__5 still leads the FBS in total offense, QB rush yds, pass effic., TD passes yards/play, yards/ pass attempt & is No. 2 in passing yards & total TDs. Other noteworthy strength of skeds: Wash., 54, Oregon 62, Michigan 66
This year’s @LSUfootball team is first program in @SEC history to have a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in same season. #LSU
Jayden (2023) vs. Joe (2019) - thru 6 games
Comp.-Att.: 131-181 to 148-186
Passing: 1,969 to 2,157 yards
Pass TDs: 19 to 25
Rushing: 422 to 105
Rush TDs: 4 to 2
Total Offense: 2,391 to 2,262

Looks like @Heisman numbers to me. @LSUfootball
Some @CFBPlayoff research on @LSUfootball:
* LSU has more wins (3) over teams ranked in current Top 25 than any team in nation.
* At No. 7, #LSU is the highest-ranked 2-loss team (along w/ Wisconsin in 2016) at this point of season in the history of the CFB Playoff Top 25.
I usually tweet this picture of the stairway in my house on the first day of football season, but's It's @marchmadness Sweet 16 Gameday.... Let's Geaux @LSUBasketball and @LSUkent. #winbar#LSU#Bootup
