By the time the LSU team plane made it back to Baton Rouge on Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers were still well within their self-imposed 24-hour celebration rule.
Fresh off a 40-32 Fiesta Bowl victory over Central Florida, LSU had brought back its biggest trophy of the College Football Playoff era, and with it, optimism and anticipation for the future.
The bowl victory is arguably the biggest postseason win for LSU since its 2007 BCS national championship, although the 2011 Cotton Bowl may be more comparable.
