Letters: Showing kindness, one person at a time

For years I have driven down the same road on my way to work. It's a daily reminder of where we are as a nation. At first, I was surprised but then dismayed by what I saw. Poverty. Hopelessness. Hunger. Despair. I knew this was not right. But seeing it day after day, I turned a blind eye. Never making eye contact. Acknowledgement is burdened with a responsibility to do something.

Four-star running back 'unlikely' to sign with FSU

Four-star running back Jayden Miles is one of FSU's top commitments in its 2027 recruiting class, but it will be tough for the Seminoles to hold on to the Baton Rouge native. That was the case before FSU fired Mike Norvell on Sunday, but that change likely made it even tougher. He committed to Florida State on June 8, picking them over the LSU Tigers and Ohio State Buckeyes , who are having much better seasons and are not entering a new era. Neither one of them stopped recruiting Miles, and according to Mike Roach of 247Sports , he is not expected to end up with the Seminoles. Even before Mike Norvell was fired, Jayden Miles was looking around. The Baton Rouge (LA) Catholic back started to hear more from LSU while Ohio State is in the picture for him as well. If LSU starts to make a stronger push, it's tough to see Miles not taking the opportunity to stay home and play for the Tigers. Ohio State is also working on sorting out their running back options, and Miles is among those names. Perhaps a new hire at FSU could change the picture, but as of right now,

LSU football OL Weston Davis exits Alabama game: Injury update

BATON ROUGE, La. — In the third quarter of No. 15 LSU football's matchup against No. 9 Alabama on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Tigers Stadium, LSU right tackle Weston Davis went down with an injury. Listed at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, the sophomore lineman went down after a big-time play for the Tigers on a 32-yard pass from quarterback Sam Leavitt to wide receiver Jackson Harris. It appeared that Davis hurt his ankle, and he was assisted off the field and taken into the medical tent. Playing in his place for the remainder of the Tigers' drive was junior right tackle Sean Thompkins Jr. Davis exited the medical tent on crutches and headed in the direction of LSU's locker room. Davis has started every game this season. He has been a key starter on the offensive line for LSU for the past two seasons, starting in 10 of the 12 games he appeared in last season. At the time of Davis' injury, LSU was trailing 10-6, having yet to score a touchdown. This story will be updated with more information when availbable.
