VIDEO: Ed Orgeron Claims He Doesn't Understand Dabo Swinney's 'Rocky' Championship Game Reference
LSU head coach Ed Orgeron has a voice no one will ever forget and he has used it to offer up some memorable quotes time and time again. His latest came during media availability ahead of Monday's National Championship Game with Clemson and it's GOLD.

Dabo Swinney made the perfect analogy and it went right over Orgeron's head. Has he never seen any of the Rocky movies? Come on, man.

Football coaches are notorious for living in their offices and not knowing much about the outside world due to constant film study. Still, can we find the man a free two hours to watch the classic Sly Stallone film?
We can forgive Coach O for this blunder. The man has completely turned things around for LSU, with the Tigers one win away from bringing home the national title. Monday sure can't get here soon enough. It's going to be an instant classic between the two powerhouses.
