On account of being in Texas, the Texas Bowl sends both of its teams to a rodeo. Last year, we got marvelous pictures of Bret Bielema and Charlie Strong in cowboy hats. This year’s pictures were even better, as LSU coach Les Miles, the coach of the apparent rodeo winner, walked away with a cowboy hat AND a Texas Bowl belt.

Let’s see if LSU is as good at football as it is at rodeoing.

I want you to know something, if they challenged me, I would have jumped right ... would have gone over the fence. Riding, barrel riding would be something I would have ... or bull riding. And of the ridings, I would have been all over that.
The players got in on the fun, too:
