re: Comedian Bill Burr Chooses the LSU Fighting Tigers

This is from 2014...

Do you watch college football?

Yep. Which is why I don’t watch pro football on Saturday—because I’m watching college football. I’m a big fan of the SEC. I follow the LSU Tigers, kind of my adopted team. But I like rooting against Alabama, even though I like Alabama. They’ve just won so much it’s fun.


Why’d you pick up LSU as your team?

I like the head coach, Les Miles. I like that he goes for it on fourth downs and calls trick plays and he’s eating grass. A lot of his decisions in critical moments are the stuff the people in the upper deck used to yell when I was young. Like, "Go for it!" or "Fake punt!" All that shite that gets you fired? He actually goes out and does it. So he’s fun to watch.
