ORLANDO -- Louisiana media members gathered by a back entrance of the Renaissance SeaWorld here Thursday night, cameras and smart phones at the ready for the arrival of LSU's football team.
Their mission: provide visual proof that Matt Canada, LSU's dead-man-walking offensive coordinator, made the trip for the Tigers' Citrus Bowl battle against Notre Dame.
The last time LSU had such intrigue in this hotel was in December 2004. It's when Tigers' coach Nick Saban, who had already announced his resignation effective to become coach of the NFL's Miami Dolphins after a Citrus Bowl date with Iowa, held his final call-in radio show in the expansive atrium.
