On the same night that Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards brought up , Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump tried to win over fans at a rally.
Trump knew the way to supporters hearts’ gathered at the River Center in Baton Rouge, shouting out his support for Tigers football coach Les Miles.
“Is LSU going to win the big game next year?” Trump asked the crowd. “Good team. Good team. Good coach. Good everything.”
Trump also fired up the crowd with an “LSU! LSU! LSU!” chant.
If LSU — ahem — does field a team this fall, the Tigers open against Wisconsin at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field on September 3.
