Dallas Cowboys VIPs stop by LSU's final practice

The LSU Tigers had some special visitors in their final walk-through practice Thursday at Cowboys Stadium.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Jason Garrett came by the Tigers' practice. With them were Cowboys Executive VPs Stephen Jones, a Cotton Bowl board member, and Jerry Jones, Jr.

The group was at the stadium earlier for the press conference to announce Garrett, formerly the interim coach, would have the job on a permanent basis.Part of the reason for the visit was to see LSU coach Les Miles, a former Cowboys assistant coach.

Jerry Jones, a former player at fellow SEC school Arkansas, took time to address the team.

"His message was a very strong one," Miles said. "It was a great moment. Our team lit up to it."
