BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Ed Orgeron says his boisterous and sometimes profane locker room speech after the top-ranked Tigers defeated Alabama last weekend was not meant for public consumption and not meant to hurt anyone. An LSU player posted a 14-second excerpt of the speech in which Orgeron can be heard yelling that LSU is going to beat Alabama in recruiting and every time they meet. Orgeron also uses an expletive to mock Alabama's "Roll Tide" rallying cry. Orgeron says it was just a "fiery moment."
