Following LSU's game against Tennesee, Kim Mulkey will be glued to watching Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. How she'd feel before she tuned in matters to her.

Mulkey tuned in to the 104.5 ESPN radio channel for an interview with T-Bob Hebert in a video on YouTube on Tuesday. She explained she'd be excited to see the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana. However, she hopes that her Tigers come through with a win over Tennessee before she gets around to the big game.

"I love sports, and I'll rush home, hopefully after a win, because I won't enjoy it if we lose to Tennessee, which we can, because they're very good," Mulkey said (Timestamp: 2:33). "But I'll rush home and I'll watch it."
