You know the numbers by now, but LSU is pretty good at home … and home games are more often than not played on Saturday nights. That’s one of a couple of traditions the Tigers hold — white jerseys at home, “H” goalposts, “Chinese Bandits” being some others — and it goes back to the school trying to help out its fans.

“It goes back further than I do, but they started playing night games in September because it was still pretty hot in September, so it was cooler at night,” Nader, 65, said. “Louisiana being a blue-collar state, a lot of people in those days, for them the work week included Saturday.

“So it got to be popular for the games to be at night and those folks could work and still get to the games. Then it just caught on and I think anything that happened in the late ’50s became tradition. It was a very successful time for the Tigers.”

Keep an eye on WVU’s injury report today. It’s quite possible the Mountaineers will be without five starters: DE Julian Miller, MLB Pat Lazear, LG Josh Jenkins and TE Tyler Urban are injured, in some capacity, and we still don’t know about CB Brandon Hogan. The loss of Jenkins might be the biggest as it poses problems for an offensive line facing an LSU defense that poses plenty of problems of its own.

On the road now, but remember tomorrow’s chat at 1 p.m., as well as Fledgling Texts From Game Day.
