What game was more exciting than Ohio State-Michigan yesterday?
Well, there were a number of games that were closer. In terms of impact, the Buckeyes-Wolverines matchup was certainly up there, but imagine a game going seven overtimes. That would be a more exciting game, no?
Well, LSU-Texas A&M did play a seven overtime game. The Aggies ended up winning 74-72. Rivalry week always brings its share of fun, right?
Fun is one way to explain what happened after the game. However, it probably isn’t the best way to explain it.
Take a look at this fight that broke out between staffers of the Tigers and Aggies:

The guy in the red shirt appeared to be fighting LSU director of player personnel Kevin Faulk. According to The Advocate, it all started when the A&M staffer threw a punch at LSU special teams analyst Steve Kragthorpe, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease.
Here’s a video of the A&M staffer talking to coach Jimbo Fisher about the incident:

Apparently, It wasn’t only the players that needed to chill out after the insanely long game.
