Coach O.
Great stuff captured by
@garlandgillen
from The White House during
#LSU
visit.
I've been told there were 92

Tigers that made the trip to Washington DC. No players skipped the trip for political reasons, some have already started their training for the NFL Draft.

"Let's see the new LSU offense in a game."
"Let's see the new LSU offense in a tough road game like Texas."
"Let's see the new offense against a real defense like Florida."
"Well, Auburn's got a better defense than Florida."
"Well, LSU will choke against Bama."

"Last week, that guy that hit Jayden Daniels, was trying to knock him out. You can say whatever you want. But that's what he was trying to do. Our guy was trying to make a tackle."

next weekend in a battle of Top 10 teams in Death Valley.
It's a night game.
It will be loud.
It's a heavyweight SEC bout.
The Tigers remember last year in The Swamp.
Are you ready?

senior Garrett Brumfield dominates media activities Sunday at the
@Fiesta_Bowl
, passionately tackling such topics as "can fish swim in Kool-Aid?" to "who shot JFK?" to "who built the pyramids."
It's worth the watch.
@WAFB
HEATED! Texas Southern's Trayvon Reed strikes Southern's Mubashar Ali after an intense verbal exchange between the two. Both players were ejected from the game at the FG Clark Center.

@theswac
And Joe Burrow is 23 years old. How much maturity? How much class? To seek out the Ohio State coaches to hug them, instead of giving a "I showed you" look/comment.
Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Living proof.
#LSU
"They did a lot of talking out there on the field, but they didn't play like it."

tight end Thaddeus Moss says Oklahoma might have been the fifth best defense the Tigers have played this season.
Those of you who grew up in Louisiana, always rooting for Louisiana teams and not jumping on trendy bandwagons or pretending to cheer for someone else - you've earned these moments.
Joe Burrow. Drew Brees.

Today

will drive to NOLA to cover 14-0 Tigers in the national championship game.

QB won The Heisman.
Coach O is a national coach of the year.
Unreal.
"I don't like them very much. I know they don't like us very much."
"It's just bad blood colliding."
"I forgot that quarterback's name....he was running around, celebrating on the field like he won the Super Bowl."
The animosity between

"Look, we're from Louisiana. We like sparkles, we like diamonds, we like Mardi Gras, we like to eat and we like to party."

Ed Orgeron is the SEC Coach of the Year.
The Tigers are 13-0, SEC Champions and heading to the College Football Playoffs.
I'm having a beer, watching The Irishman and happy for all the Tiger fans experiencing this.
The Heisman Trophy winner in tears addressing his head coach as millions watch.
#LSU
could never buy that kind of recruiting with a billion dollars.
#Burreaux
4.5% of the Heisman Trophy voters apparently didn't have
#LSU
Joe Burrow on their ballot. Did they watch a snap of college football this year? Drunk? High? What?
Nearly three days after one of the biggest blown calls in the history of sports, we still have a $35 million dollar a year commissioner sitting in silence, a DB drawing attention to himself on social media by boasting he got away with it + the Saints still denied of a Super Bowl.
"Joe won again. Geez. Man's a GOAT."
Pretty funny moment as
#LSU
Ja'Marr Chase was participating in his Biletnikoff Award press conference.
"Joe for Heisman."
The audacity of some uninvested people telling
#Saints
fans to "get over it" or "stop whining". When your team is denied a Super Bowl because of one the biggest blown calls in the history of sports, you can talk.
Silence is exactly what NFL wants.
"Let it blow over."
No.
"Nothing to see here!"
#LSU
and Oklahoma apparently are obligated to open their practice to the media for 10-15 minutes. Humorously the Tigers offense used that time to just wait until the media was thrown out.
"I'm not scared of this game. No one on this team is scared of this game."
"If you're timid, then don't come out of that locker room."

Joe Burrow.

"It broke his heart. Because that's his brother."
@LSUfootball
Jayden Daniels says wide receiver Kyren Lacy was emotional following his touchdown catch, because Lacy's holding call had prevented Malik Nabers for becoming

all-time leader in receiving yards.
@WAFB
Jacob Hester - "What was the team Heisman moment?"
Joe Burrow - "It's gotta be going into Tuscaloosa right?"
And what does the Heisman winner have to say about his assistant coaches and game preparation?
"It's like having the answers to the test when you walk in there."
"If I had to trade a broken leg for a national championship, I'd do it every time."

A&M fumbled that ball in the first overtime. I was feet away. Fumble.

The Fehoko's are emotional speaking about their son Breiden Fehoko's final collegiate game, the national championship.
Watch LSU arrive in NOLA:
#LSU
just won the national championship. Enjoy it, inhale it and cherish it for as long as can. Please do not start freaking out about next year a day later and Joe Brady. They'll address it the best they can, make the best adjustments they can and move on. This is a new time.
#LSU
played eight ranked opponents this year. They went to Jordan Hare Stadium, they went to The Swamp. They hosted

Georgia.
The Tigers will finish 10-3 overall and end in the Top 10.
Today they won The Fiesta Bowl and ended UCF's 25-game winning streak.
Patrick Queen was not a starter when

kicked off the 2019 season. A year later he’s made a total of 17 tackles, 11 solo, with a quarterback sack and a forced fumble in his first two games as an NFL linebacker.

running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been named one of four finalists for the Paul Hornung Award, which is presented annually to the most versatile player in college football, the Louisville Sports Commission announced on Thursday.
"This is a playoff game."

Devin White, via Facebook, says his beloved horse Daisy Mae passed away last night. White says she was "very dehydrated and overheated".
White adds "R.I.P. To My 1st Love".
"Not bad for a two star recruit."
