The Night That Time Forgot: How Many Overtimes Did LSU and Texas A&M Play?
Ah, the LSU Tigers versus the Texas A&M Aggies. A rivalry as heated as a jalapeño popper on the Fourth of July. A matchup that's guaranteed to deliver more drama than a reality TV show with a surprise DNA test. But nothing could have prepared us for the epic that unfolded on November 24th, 2018.
The Premise: A Simple Football Game (or so we thought)
It was supposed to be a regular Saturday. You know, the kind where you grill some burgers, crack open a cold one, and settle in for a good ol' fashioned game of pigskin. Little did we know, we were about to witness a contest that would redefine the concept of "overtime."
The First Half: A Back-and-Forth Ballet (with a Few Fumbles)
The game started out like any other. Touchdowns were traded, field goals were attempted (with varying degrees of success, ahem...), and cheerleaders did their best to keep the energy high. By halftime, we were tied, our snacks were dwindling, and a sense of unease began to settle in. This one wasn't going to be easy.
The Second Half: The Descent into Madness (in the best way possible)
The second half was a blur of fourth-down conversions, questionable calls (let's not open that can of worms, shall we?), and enough momentum shifts to make your head spin. The clock ticked down, the tension rose, and before you knew it... overtime.
Overtime: The Neverending Story (or at least it felt that way)
One overtime turned into two, then three, then four. Players were cramping, commentators were losing their voices, and fans were questioning their sanity. Social media exploded with memes, conspiracy theories, and existential dread. Was this some kind of cruel football purgatory?
Overtimetimes: When Does This Actually End?
By the time we reached the seventh overtime, the game had become a mythical creature, whispered about in hushed tones. Children were tucked into bed with stories of the LSU-Texas A&M marathon, and pizza delivery guys were offering existential advice alongside their pepperoni pies.
The Glorious (and Mercifully Brief) Resolution
Finally, after nearly five hours (yes, you read that right), Texas A&M emerged victorious. The crowd erupted, players collapsed in exhaustion (and maybe a little relief), and the internet collectively sighed. We had witnessed history, a game that would forever be known as:
The Great LSU-Texas A&M Seven Overtime Extravaganza
So, How Many Overtimes Did They Play?
In case you skipped all the dramatics (which, frankly, wouldn't blame you), LSU and Texas A&M played a jaw-dropping seven overtimes in that legendary 2018 game. A night that will forever be etched in the annals of college football history, a testament to human endurance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of eating too many chili cheese dogs before a big game.
