Thibodeaux at the Sugar Bowl


Published/Last Modified on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 2:17 PM CDT

Thibodeaux had 50-yard line tickets for the Sugar Bowl.

As he sits down, a man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.

'Mais, no', says Thibodeaux, 'Dat seat be empty, yeah.'

'That's incredible,' said the man. 'Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Sugar Bowl, the biggest sporting event of the year for LSU, the SEC champions, when they make it to the Sugar Bowl for the national championship, and then not use it?'

Thibodeaux says, 'Dat seat belong wit me, yeah. I wuz comin' wit my wife, but she done pass on. Dis de first LSU football game we didn't came wit each udder since we bin married in 1960.'

'Oh...I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else --- a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?

Thibodeaux shakes his head sadly. 'No.. Dey all at de funeral.'
