Win-win for me, since my rooting interest for NFL is nothing more than spotting former Tigers and hoping they have good games. If Burrow/Chase/Shelvin/Moss win.....yay....they further cement their status as 2019 LSU legends. If the Rams win, I'd be so happy for Whitworth finally getting a well-deserved shot, and for OBJ too. He may be banned from campus and not the same after his injury, but he's still rightfully a fan favorite. Interesting that the Saban/Miles/Orgeron eras will all be represented in this game. And technically Brian Kelly has a WR in the game, so hell, I'm just gonna claim the next era is represented also.
We had the most former players on all playoff teams, which is nice because our actual team sucks and we have to find something to cheer about. Only the Packers had no Tigers. They lost their first game. Coincidence? I think not. San Francisco lost too, probably because of having only one former Tiger. Kansas City demoting CEH to RB2 and Mathieu barely clearing concussion protocol was the cause of the Chiefs' downfall and you cannot convince me otherwise. Our sub-six foot kings will rise again in September, along with Darrel Williams.
But while I'm at it, Ima just leave this here:
Joe Burrow came to LSU, a QB graveyard, won a NC and had the greatest passing season in college football history. Now the Bengals, who haven't won a playoff game in 31 years and never won one on the road have won three, two on the road against the 1 and 2 seed, and will go to a SuperBowl.
His powers are unlike anything we've ever seen.
That kicker from Florida, Evan McPherson, has ice in his veins. Whatever the Bengals are paying him, it's not enough.
