ORLANDO - LSU wasted little time in jumping into the Citrus Bowl spirt here Tuesday as the Tigers went straight from the airport to Buffalo Wild Wings - the title sponsor of the game - where the team consumed some 4,000 chicken wings at the annual BWW Welcome Dinner.
The Welcome Dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings capped a busy day for the 20th-ranked Tigers as LSU held a two-hour practice in Baton Rouge at the Charles McClendon Practice Facility followed by one-hour and 30-minute flight to Orlando.
LSU's practice in Baton Rouge, which started by design as the same time as Saturday's kickoff against Louisville, unexpectedly simulated what is anticipated to be conditions here for the remainder of the week as temperatures reached the low 80s for the workout.
