It was Saturday night when LSU doused coach Ed Orgeron with Gatorade, and Sunday morning when the Tigers lost, seven overtimes and a combined 91 points later.
Texas A&M 74, LSU 72 — in football, not basketball, and you knew it would take LSU’s mediocre offense all of seven overtimes to get there. The game was so long… well, how long was it? Well, Texas A&M was in the Big 12 Conference when the game started. It was so long… it’s a good thing the Aggies aren’t paying Jimbo Fisher by the hour.
It was 31-24 with just seconds left when the Tigers dropped a few dozen gallons of sugar on Orgeron’s head, and LSU’s head coach wore the sticky liquid for the next hour-plus as a reminder of how close his team came to locking down a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl. But A&M quarterback Kellen Mond tossed a 19-yard touchdown strike as time expired to force overtime.
