LSU Coach Scolds Players For Dogpiling Cheez-It Mascot During Purdue Blowout
The LSU Tigers kicked the snot out of Drew Brees and Purdue in Monday's Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, and the fellas are having one hell of a time!
The Tigers embarrassed the Boilermakers from the word 'go,' jumping out to a 14-0 lead before most folks knew the game had even started and taking a 35-0 lead into the half.
The Tigers kept their foot on Purdue's throat to start the third quarter, tacking on two more scores - one of which came on their version of 'The Philly Special' - to take a 49-0 beatdown into the fourth quarter.
After one of the scores - who knows which one because, frankly, I can't keep up - a couple of the guys decided to go and hang out with the game's cheesy mascot, and one LSU coach did NOT appreciate how it unfolded.
Cheez-It mascot has himself a day with LSU players
Incredible stuff here. The mascot (I think there's an actual human in it, right?) just laying there lifeless with a couple D1 college football players rolling around and having a good time.
Of course, there's still unfinished business to attend to between the hashes, and this assistant coach made sure they knew it.
"GET UP! GET UP!" followed by a smattering of boos from the LSU faithful is NOT what you expect when you're up 49-0, but Brian Kelly runs a tight ship in the Bayou.
And hey! Purdue scored to open the fourth quarter to break the shutout. Maybe the guys got a little too cheesy, too soon?
