<p>You were the better team and deserve the crystal. I was proud of the season our boys put together. They simply ran into a buzz saw last night and had no answer. I stayed till the bitter end, and always will for my Tigers.</p>
<p>On a positive note, I had an awesome day hanging out with my teenage daughter all afternoon. That is way more important than any football game. We shared a great experience, even if the game was a disappointment.</p>
<p>This fall my eldest child will be embarking on his college career at the University of Alabama. I know he will get a great education. His parents and grandparents are LSU graduates and all bleed purple and gold. But it’s his boat, and I intend to let him row it on his terms. (But I sill lament the fact that my future grandchildren will be wearing crimson.) Y’all please take good care of my son.</p>
