Tiger fan chooses to get fired so he can go to Tempe

Hahahaahhah....

Jeremy Wood of Baton Rouge was given an ultimatum last Thursday by his boss at an insurance company -- show up for a 3 p.m. meeting Friday or be fired.

Wood opted not to go to the meeting so he could catch a flight for Tempe, Ariz., to see LSU play Arizona State.

"It was going to happen anyway," said Wood, a native of Jonesville who played football for Block High School, on the flight home Sunday night. "I was going to leave in a few weeks anyway. This weekend seemed as good a time as any with the game being moved to Tempe. Do you know anybody in the insurance business?"

On Monday, Wood started looking for a new job.

Finding a new job in Baton Rouge might not be so easy for homeboy. At least he got to see a damn good game.
