LSU Officially Cancels Classes Monday and Tuesday Ahead of CFP National Championship
By Michael Luciano
Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers have dominated their way into a National Championship game matchup against Trevor Lawrence and the unbeaten Clemson Tigers in New Orleans on Monday.
In an attempt to give the student body ample time to celebrate and/or drive down to New Orleans to see the game, the university cancelled classes on both Monday and Tuesday.
Official: Classes are canceled Monday and Tuesday at LSU’s flagship campus in Baton Rouge. The university will remain open. More details to come.

To be brutally honest, even if classes weren't cancelled, no one was showing up to their Intro to Speech Pathology class after Burrow torches the Clemson defense.
Burrow and Ed Orgeron will head into this game as the No. 1 team in the nation and a six-point favorite, as passing game coordinator Joe Brady has enabled Burrow to put together one of the greatest seasons in college football history.

Tuesday in Baton Rouge is either going to be the greatest party the state of Louisiana has seen since the Saints won the Super Bowl, or a somber day of mourning. It all depends on if Burrow, Orgeron and Brady can keep the magic that got them here alive.
