Back in the title game

Here's a funny story that puts LSU's trip to the national title game in perspective.

A guy calls the office early Saturday afternoon and wants to know how LSU could get in the national championship game.

So I tell him LSU has to beat Tennessee and Missouri has to lose to Oklahoma and West Virginia has to lose to Pittsburgh. And that Pittsburgh is awful.

I tell the guy that he has a better shot at winning the lottery than LSU has of getting in the title game.

He says, "I won the lottery once. It wasn't much. A hundred thousand dollars.''

Wasn't much?

I told the guy maybe Les Miles needs him on the sideline.

Anyway, all of those things happened. And LSU is in the sideline.
