Football had it's last practice on Wednesday and is off until Monday. Word from the NCAA on Stevan Ridley's appeal is not expected until sometime late next week. The @Miss St. game for next season has been picked up for an ESPN Thursday Night special on Sept.15.

A note from the Advocate that K.C. Ross-Miller, a highly-rated point guard in last year's recruiting class who failed to qualify because of a problem with his course work, is now playing for UNO, who's players only have to pass admissions while UNO transitions to D-II. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he could make it back to LSU someday. UNO is currently lead by former LSU walk-on Zach Kinsley who transferred after we ran out of roster spots for walk-on's.
Also in basketball, there was a brawl in the stands between two Miss St players during a tournament in Hawaii.
