Kristian Fulton could've gone to the NFL a year ago. But something called him back for his senior season. Turns out, he made the right decision. Not only does he leave LSU with a national championship and a degree, but he also enters the NFL Draft as a projected first round pick. He sits down for the latest installment of Road to the Pros to talk about winning it all in his hometown, how his yearl...

The NFL Draft is right around the corner, so we're sitting down with some of the former Tigers who are looking to make their NFL dreams come true this month. First up, Emily Dixon sits down with defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko, who talks about his journey from Hawaii to Texas Tech and LSU and how he plans to carve a path for himself at the next level.

When you've spent years building something, and crisis brings it to a halt, what do you do? LSU Beach Volleyball was at the apex of the sport when the shutdown stopped their pursuit of a national championship. No. 1 in the country. Two wins over defending champions UCLA. A historic home meet the likes of which the sport has never seen. On today's episode, head coach Russell Brock and senior/No. 1...

Coaches need contact, communication, and interaction. So how do you manage a program when all of those things are impossible? LSU volleyball head coach Fran Flory and assistant coach/recruiting coordinator Sarah Rumely Noble join today's show to talk about the challenges, opportunities, and adjustments brought about by the COVID-19 lockdown. Their conversation touches on topics anyone working from...

LSU Baseball's pitching staff was off to a historic start in 2020. Then, the outbreak of a pandemic changed everything. Today's episode of Tigers United features Cole Henry and Eric Walker (6:58), two of the Tigers' top arms, who check in from their homes on how they're adapting to life in the social distancing age. They talk missing the day to day grind of a baseball team, living meal to meal, fi...

A new podcast series from LSU Athletics: Tigers United. So many times in life, we're defined by the things that divide us. But sometimes we all go through something together. And we're reminded of the things that unite us. Right now, in some form or another, we're all going through the same thing. And we're all united by a sense of loss and how to cope with it. On one end of the scale, there are t...

Today's episode is a different one, because we are all currently living in a different world that's changing every day. COVID-19 has altered everything for us all, and LSU Athletics is no different.  Shelly Mullenix (6:10) is LSU's Senior Associate Athletic Director for Health and Wellness, and she's helping make crucial decisions for -- and providing information every day to -- LSU's student...

Ja'Marr Chase walked into Football Ops this week on a mission. He wanted No. 7.  It took him time to track down Coach O, who bounces around the building like a man on fire, but eventually, he found his head coach and asked for the jersey. "Alright," Coach O said, "let's do it." On today's show, we sit down with Ja'Marr to discuss why he wanted that number, what it means to him, and how he's w...

Jack Marucci is the Brain of LSU Football.  He'll push back on that, because he's humble and brilliant. But Marucci, who just finished his 24th season as LSU's Director of Athletics training, is the driving force behind so many innovations and ideas inside of the football program.  He has the trust of Ed Orgeron, who leans on him for research, analysis, technological advancement, player...

We're officially over the National Championship hangover and on to an offseason full of new storylines. Hester stopped by the office to recap the national championship, put the 2019 season in historical perspective, and start looking ahead to 2020. We talk:  - The greatest college football team of all time - Favorite moments of the season - LSU's consistency and machine-like approach in 2019 - Coa...

LSU won the national championship. That's what this episode is about.

It's the last preview episode of the national championship game from New Orleans.  Jacob Hester and I sat down Friday in his studio to talk about hype videos, high IQ offenses, LSU's contagious culture, and matchups to watch in LSU vs. Clemson.  Thanks to 104.5 for allowing us to cross-promote with this audio.  Stick around until the end for a special treat. 

LSU went through the ringer of College Football Playoff Championship Media Day, and I came back with an episode that covers a lot of ground and features a lot of voices. - Dave Aranda on Clemson's offense vs. Alabama's defense, coaching with leads, and evaporating fires - Steve Ensminger on what Clemson's defense offers - Joe Brady on coming back to New Orleans and his future at LSU - Joe Burrow o...

Really excited to be joined by two of the best in the business, Kirk Herbstreit and Tom Rinaldi, on today's show. Both were in town to shoot some interviews for ESPN ahead of Monday's championship game, and both were gracious enough to carve out some time for a special podcast episode. First up is Kirk, who spent an hour or so with Joe Burrow before sitting down for this interview having one of th...

As Championship Week gets underway and LSU enters the final stages of preparation for Clemson, I wanted to go back and rewatch both semifinal games to see what I could learn. I learned a lot. Starting with LSU-Oklahoma and wrapping up with Clemson-Ohio State, here's a recap of my rewatch and some of the notes I took while watching both games. This one is light on guests (as in none) but heavy on n...

In its first ever appearance in the College Football Playoff, LSU dismantled Oklahoma in historic, record-breaking fashion, a 63-28 win to move on to the national title game.  A day that started with sorrow ended with football joy, and we focus mostly on football today, as the Tigers are making a case as maybe one of the best teams of all time.  We talk Joe Burrow's record day (again), h...

Enough talk. It's time to play football -- after just a little more talk. Me and Hester sit down for one final preview of LSU-Oklahoma in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl/CFP semifinal.  We talk about LSU's confidence-borderlining-on-cockiness, Clyde's status, Alex Grinch's defense, matchups we're eyeing, and more.  See you Sunday. 

I'm back from the Heisman, and I brought a friend with me to the podcast. Friend of the pod and recruiting guru of Geaux247 Shea Dixon joins today's show to recap all the Heisman festivities and give us a break down of the 19 signees LSU landed Wednesday during the early signing period.  Shea and I were around all weekend as Joe Burrow took home the first Heisman trophy for LSU in 60 years, s...

Ja'Marr Chase is shocked to be where he is. We're in Atlanta for the College Football Awards, and Ja'Marr is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation's best receiver. In my opinion, he's the clear favorite, and by the time you're listening to this episode, he may very well have taken it home. After he finished up his media duties this morning, we sat down for 15 minutes t...

LSU is the best team in the SEC. They look like the best team in the country, too. Lots to get to on today's show. Interviews with Joe Brady, Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Terrace Marshall, Derek Stingley Jr., and more. Breakdown of the Tigers' 37-10 win over Georgia. Burrow's Heisman moment, again. Stingley's stellar showing. Brady's future. And why we should all savor every moment of this magica...

Count on a No. 18 to deliver his best performance when the stakes are highest. Hester is back, and we dive deep into the 12-0 Tigers, their 50-7 win over A&M, and their upcoming matchup with Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. We talk Joe Burreaux's incredible Senior Night tribute, his development in two seasons at LSU, this Clyde Edwards-Helaire run , take a Clyde victory lap, quickly discu...

An iconic moment for an iconic player.  Joe Burrow ran out for Senior Night wearing a custom jersey with Burreaux on the back. Then, he re-wrote the SEC passing record books and exacted a little revenge on Texas A&M. We talk about LSU's 50-7 win, Burrow's moment in LSU lore, the defense's rebound and answer of the call, Cade York crushing kicks, and more. We also hear from K'Lavon Chaisso...

Before Joe Burrow's explosion this season, before his rise from Heisman afterthought to Heisman frontrunner, before Ohio State's surplus became LSU's superstar, there was almost no one who could've seen it coming.  Except for Burrow, his family, and everyone in The Plains, who saw it coming all along, because they'd seen it before.  A special episode of Hey Fightin’ Podcast, this is the...

It was a 56-20 win, the program's first SEC West title in eight years, and the scene for yet more offensive records. Or, in Joe Burrow's words, "business as usual." It was also the pre-Thanksgiving appetizer for next week's main course. Unfinished business with Texas A&M. We start today's show by discussing the unexpected tone in the wake of the win over Arkansas. Ed Orgeron switched it up, an...
