LSU Student Misses a Pair of 'Jeopardy!' Questions About SEC Football

This is big news. Perhaps the biggest news to come out of the great football conference that is the SEC this offseason. Tuesday night, Kevin Brown, a student at LSU (an SEC school), missed a pair football related questions on a game of Jeopardy! Not only that, but they were football questions pertaining to the SEC. Shocking, right?

Question 1: "This ol' ball coach at Florida & South Carolina said, 'You know what FSU stands for... free shoes university'"

Crickets. Not even a peep from Brown (the answer is, of course, Steve Spurrier, long time coach at South Carolina). But everybody misses one now and again, so we'll give him a pass there.

Question 2: "Breaking Herschel Walker's SEC rushing record helped Derrick Henry of this university win the 2015 Heisman Trophy."

Nice. This seems like a fairly obvious answer to anybody who turned on a TV or accessed a smart phone in 2015 (the answer here is Alabama). But again, Brown was silent. Not even an attempt to fumble through an answer. He could have at least tried. You know, with anybody's name. Heck, even answering "Adrian Peterson" (who plays in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings) would have been better than just standing there. And yet, that's exactly what he did.

To be fair to Brown, though--a senior from Boise, Idaho, who is majoring in environmental engineering--not everybody likes football. That includes students at football rich schools like LSU. The fact that Brown isn't--apparently--football crazed is probably why he's the well rounded Jeopardy! contestant that most of us aren't. Even though he missed a few cupcake football questions, he could probably recite 70-plus digits of Pi. (Not 70 flavors of pie, this is the numbers one), and that's pretty neat.

As for the football team, LSU is closing in one the nation's top recruiting classes. It looks like they'll be a formidable power in the coming years in the SEC, even if their students don't know it.
