Texas A&M Needs 7 OTs to Subdue LSU

Here's the score when these two schools clashed earlier in the year:

LSU 77
Texas A&M 65

That was in SEC hoops last January, when they combined to post 142 points. In regulation.

Their football brethren needed a while longer to top that output, but they ultimately did it in a 146-point marathon.

 

All things considered, the Aggies and Bayou Bengals did a damn entertaining job of racking up 31 points each after 60 minutes of poppin' pads.

Dudes hit the over/under total of 45½ when Michael Divinity Jr rambled 58 yards on a scoop-&-score with 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to tie the game, 24-24.

Little did they know they were only getting started:

 

Aggies, 74-72.

The humanity.

 

Lotsa weird stuff goes into a 7-overtime game, but absolutely nothing outdid college football's first premature Gatoration:

 

Time for the Tigers to brush up on the wit and wisdom of Yogi Berra.

Then there's A&M wideout Kendrick Rodgers. Dude musta been in the witness protection program during regulation, being targeted a mere three times and only hauling in one. Come overtime, he hauled in a pair of TDs and three conversions.

 

Incidentally, for those Tiger faithful mumbling about a bitta home cooking when the game seemed over but wasn't, remember the Tennessee game back in 2010:

 

Dunno which football gods LSU pissed off for A&M's breaks in this one to be considered making things all square in the universe, but there it is.

Karma can be a bitch sometimes.
